Bucket/Pail Opener

The Silesia® Bucket/Pail Opener cuts, lifts and seals. This sturdy all metal tool is light in weight & so effortless anyone can use it.



For slotted covers:

  • simply place the cutting head against each slot in the lid,
  • steady the opener with one hand
  • and press down on the handle with the other hand.

Length approx. 21" (53cm)



Covers with or without slots

Covers with or without slots are released

  • by inserting the claw under the rim,
  • stabilizing the opener with one hand
  • and pressing down on the handle with the other hand.
  • Repeat around the edge approximately every 2" (5cm)
  • and the cover will lift off cleanly without damage to the seal.

To re-seal the bucket

  • replace the cover,
  • steady it with your free hand
  • and use the tool's head to hammer the lid all around the outer edge until it is closed.
