ABSTRACT:
A tool for lifting container lid lift tabs comprises a thin, relatively long and narrow body suitable for holding in a user's thumb and fingers. The body has a front edge and top and bottom surfaces, the front edge having a beveled undersurface that extends rearwardly and downwardly at an acute angle with respect to the bottom surface whereby the tool may be slipped under a container lid tab with the beveled undersurface aligned generally parallel with surface of the container lid. The top surface has a generally planar main area and has a concavity located adjacent the front edge, the concavity intersecting the front edge and having a sloped container lid tab-contacting surface that extends upwardly and rearwardly from the front edge until intersecting with the top main area.
