What it does

Black & Silver Pail Popper with a sharp hook cutter for plastic 5-gallon bucket lids and pail tops. Electrocoated 3" scraper blade, full-tang, nylon handle, and a Hammer Head end for setting nails and screws.

How to use it

  1. Cut the tear strip moving away from the hand steadying the pail.
  2. Release the tabs in sequence around the rim. Forcing one point cracks lids.
  3. Park the tool hook-down in the pouch, not blade-up in a pocket.

Common questions

Will it open a metal paint can?

No. Use the 46445 or 46455 opener.

My pail lid has no tear strip. Does it still work?

Yes. Skip the strip cut and go straight to releasing the tabs around the rim.

Can I reuse the lid?

As a dust cover, yes. As a seal, no. Cutting the strip ends its sealed life.

What is the Hammer Head end for?

Setting popped nails and screws and drywall nails with controlled taps.
