Uni-pro Paint Can Opener

We have all done it. Reached for a screwdriver to lever a paint tin open, bent the lid, chewed up the rim, and made a mess of resealing it later.

This little metal opener is made for the job. The hooked end slips under the lid and lifts it clean, so the tin still seals properly when you press it back down. That matters more than it sounds, because a tin that seals is paint that keeps for the next coat.

It costs next to nothing and lives in the bottom of the toolbox for years. Grab one with your paint and save the good screwdriver.
