ABSTRACT:
The tool is used in opening and/or reopening a bulk container of the type having a plastic lid which is mounted to the container by means of an annular rim having a lip that engages an annular rib on the container. The tool comprises an elongate body having a distal end and a proximal end. The proximal end forms a handle for the tool. A base member is mounted on the distal end of the body and a cross-member is mounted on and across the body at a position spaced a predetermined distance from the base member. The cross-member has two oppositely disposed end portions. Each end portion terminates in a hook shaped structure including an arm extending toward the base member. One arm, on a side facing the body, has an arcuate pry-bar configuration. The other arm, on a side facing the body, has a cutting edge.
