    Thank you so much for making this video! Getting the darn thing open was always ridiculously challenging - I can't believe how easy it was to do with the clip.

    You rock! I couldn't figure out how to get the remote open and I was afraid of breaking it. Your video walked me through step by step and you made it fun to watch. Thanks!

    I was literally just pulling out of my driveway to the store when my battery died and found your video for my garage door opener. Thank you?

    I searched for the battery compartment for months. Thanks for the video. Didnt know I could short the battery by pinching it. Thx again

    so, being the queen of google, and fighting with an obviously dying garage door opener battery, I found this video. PERFECTION! Thank you so much from a little old lady in Idaho! I can do this :)

    Thanks, Daniel. Opening is the hardest part for most of us - we didn't know we already had the tool we needed! Also, I enjoyed your cat coming in to supervise!

      /Paul hey I used a screwdriver years ago, and now it’s quite jammed. I tried using the clip, and that didn’t work either. Any suggestion
      ?

    Thank you Daniel! Opening it was so damn hard! Almost broke a nail trying to open it... Never knew that the clip would be the best opener!

    Thanks, Dan, I wasn't even sure it had a battery. Watched your video, (I also just happened to have a package of 2032s) and changed the battery slicker than snot on a doorknob. I walked out to my garage and the door was open, so I knew it worked. Tested it a few times and all's well. Thanks again.

  • @MattAllenTeller
    @MattAllenTeller 8 років тому

    Thumbs up. I was reluctant to pry the case open because it was going to take a lot of force and I did not want to break it. Now I'll just muscle on through. I also didn't know about shorting out the battery and will be careful of that. Love the cat!

  • @economyministorage3776
    @economyministorage3776 6 років тому

  • @fredzewaki6086
    @fredzewaki6086 8 років тому

    I would have NEVER figured out how to change the battery in my garage door opener. Epic eye opener. Using a key to open packaging also new and valuable information. The "hack" using the visor clip to pry open the enclosure is pure genius. But... and I struggle to maintain my composure in just describing this.... To actually listen for the garage door opening instead of walking over to verify visually that the door is opening... OMG... Sometimes the information is just too much..
