I have used a dremel and cutters to free coins from slabs. Just remember the dremel will melt the plastic so it will need a little prying apart after you cut the seams and you will need to be careful when doing this not to damage the coin
To save on windows I now use either bolt cutter or heavy duty wire cutters....they both work great. Snip along the edges and pull apart...no smashing needed (or Kevlar)
Just wanted to report that operation was a success, first time out. Used a pair of clean cotton gloves to pick coin out of holder, no muss or fuss. Plastic broke cleanly.
