ABSTRACT:
A tool is set forth defined by generally planar sides, including a central handle defined by a concave top surface overlying an undulating convex bottom surface. The tool includes an enlarged head at a forward end of the handle defined by a "C" shaped cavity with a first leg defined by an arcuate interior surface spaced from a second leg defined by a planar exterior surface, wherein each leg includes a ledge spaced from a planar rear surface defining the "C" shaped cavity. A blade member is mounted extending orthogonally outwardly and longitudinally of the head portion for prying of various lids and tabs, wherein the first leg provides a bucket lid receiving cavity within a lower portion of the "C" shaped cavity defined between the first leg and the rear surface of the cavity. A modification of the instant invention includes a longitudinally reciprocatable cutting blade mounted within a rear portion of the handle and may further include the forward blade threadedly removable from the head portion of the tool. A reciprocatably mounted measuring tape is slidably retractable and extensible longitudinally of an upper surface of the handle. A further modification of the instant invention may include a loop member securing a "Y" shaped flexible line, wherein each leg of the flexible line includes a hook member thereon to engage a forward edge of a lid to retain the lid relative to the tool once removed from an associated container.
