ABSTRACT:
A new and improved tool for rapidly removing sealed covers from large paint buckets, oil buckets, and the like and comprising a handle having a hammer member affixed to one end thereof and a hook member extending away from the handle at a predetermined angle. The hook member has a slot therein defining a pair of hook ends, and a cutting blade member is located in the slot and is joined to the hook member. The blade member has a cutting edge of the same general contour as that of the pair of hook ends, and the blade member is thus partially protected from exposure to users during both transport and operation. A first upward torquing motion of the tool member is used to pull the cutting edge of the blade through slots or grooves in the edge of the lid being removed, whereas a second upward torquing motion of the tool is made after the lid edge has been inserted between the end of the cutting blade and a pair of hook ends located on each side thereof. This operation minimizes slippage and twisting of the hook member on the lid being removed to thereby in turn enhance the efficiency and mechanical advantage of tool operation.
