Red Devil 4039 Combination 5 Gallon Lid & Bucket Opener

Works great for the 5 gallon bucket i got at Home Depot.

Why the local big box stores don't carry these, I have no idea. Bought a 5 gallon jug of paint and couldn't get the cap open due to the store closing it so tightly. This inexpensive tool was a lifesaver since I got it. The lid came off easily and feels like a solid tool.

Once I figured out how to use it it was very helpful in opening the rock salt for my driveway. Does not to start the lid so you can put it back on again.

Only one I could find that removed both the top and the cap on a 5 gal bucket of paint. Only complaint is that if the store puts the cap on super tight then this will not grip the cap correctly and you need channel locks to remove cap and then use this to put the cap back on and off.

Works great! A time saver and a strain saver

This simple well made device is a combined cap wrench and paint lid tool for 5 gallon paint pails.

Home Depot used to carry a similar tool to this, but not any more. If you get 5 gallon paint buckets, you know the pain of having the screw cap stuck from either being put on too tight or from dried paint around the cap. I've noticed the height of screw caps are almost as high as the bucket lid itself, so it's really hard to get a good grip with your hands. This tools really makes it so simple to open the screw cap. I checked for this everyone locally: Home Depot, Lowe's, Sherwin-Williams, Walmart, etc. Nobody had it, not even the specialty paint shops. This is a tool I'll keep coming back to. It was a good investment, although a little expensive. But, there really is no other alternative unless you scour the internet.

I should of gotten the metal one-plastic just doesn't work opening 5 gallon buckets....my fault!
