A tool for opening the lid of a paint can consists of an elongated, generally planar, metal plate with a handle portion and a widened end having a concave edge configuration with contact areas at opposite ends of the edge for engaging the lid of a paint can at two spaced locations. The concave edge is also formed with a bend that deviates from a plane in which the handle portion of the plate lies. The bend allows the end of the tool to be inserted into a recess surrounding the paint can lid despite the spacing of the two contact areas. The tool allows the paint can lid to be pried open by prying motions at a small number of circumferentially spaced locations, and avoids the concentration of force that results in lid deformation in the case of a conventional prying tool.
