Bucket Lid Opener

A simple lever for prying standard bucket lids off without a fight or a broken thumb. The cheap answer to the same problem gamma seal lids solve with money.

  • Choose metal over plastic. Plastic openers snap on stiff lids, which is precisely the moment you needed one.
  • Look for a wide lip that spreads the load rather than a point that gouges and deforms the lid rim.
  • Keep one per storage area. The opener in the garage is useless when the bucket is in the basement.
  • If you find yourself opening a bucket more than a few times a year, a gamma seal lid is the better long-term answer.
