Normally I use a cutting wheel on a Ryobi "Dremel" tool, but this time I decided to try using a box cutter knife instead. It took much longer to cut each one open, but it worked eventually for each can. I did it that way mainly because the two 30 uF electrolytics still had the liquid electrolyte inside, and I didn't want to have that stuff spraying out as I was cutting with the Ryobi.

And since I could not remove the 18 uF electrolytic can, I wanted to be extra careful cutting it open in case it still had liquid inside. Fortunately (in this case), the 18 uF electrolytic was all dried out.
