ABSTRACT:
A gripping tool has first and second displaceably connected members having respective associated jaws. The jaw of the first member is dimensioned to engage the upstanding flange under the peripheral lip of a tin lid such as is found on a tin of paint and for this purpose the jaw is preferably of thin flat strip-like form. The jaw associated with the second member is L-shaped and dimensioned so as to project beyond the end of the first member's jaw and downwardly so as to engage over the peripheral lip of the tin lid and down over an adjacent upstanding flange of the lid. The arrangement is such that when the handles are moved in a gripping action, the jaws clamp the upstanding flange of the tin lid to permit the lid to be removed from the tin without distortion of the lid.
