Last time we painted walls, about 6mos ago. We have two or three with our painting supplies. Don't think you'll find one at the paint store any more. About as scarce as a church key gobble
 

I have one lying around here some where, but I haven't used one in years. I use the wife's kitchen can opener.
 

Still available in Australia , I get one for free every time I buy more than two four litre tins from our local paint supplier .
 
I use one all the time when I paint. I have several laying around my paint bench.
 
Now isn't that also what was used to remove the paper pong from a milk
bottle or was it made differently.
 
In my neck of the woods painters have long had the reputation of being heavy drinkers. I guess having a painters tool with a bottle opener attached doesn't help the perception.

Around here you can still get them at Lowe's but you pay for them, they are no longer free with a gallon of paint.
 
Hi:
Paint can opener; I have several in both garages, I note the same paint can openers from 40 years ago still work on today's cans. Not so with drink cans, nor with oil cans either, both of those now use different containers than in the past.

Those come free from the paint supply . One of my hobbies is sign lettering and I use one almost daily. I have at least three. Just found one on Saturday at a gun show .
 

Bought a gallon of paint at Menards the other day and the girl threw in two stir sticks and one of those openers.
 
Is the very end of the lid lever pry broken off a wee bit, or maybe worn down? I was thinking that they are
usually a tiny bit longer. Maybe not. One thing for sure, don't let anyone tell us that a flat blade
screwdriver does as good a job as one of those for opening the lid on a paint can.
