Needed - Plastic bucket wrench plans or scan

I need a wrench for prying the lids off plastic 5-gallon buckets. I'd use it so infrequently that it's not worth buying one and it seems like it would be simple to cut one out of 1/4-inch thick aluminum plate.

Can anyone post or send me a full-size tracing or scan of one?

Thank you.

I'm confident you are smart enough to scale this pic to get it close enough. Or you could just buy it for $10 shipped.

Wow! I just learned about a new tool! And at that price, it's worth a purchase versus spending a few hours on making a tool.

Cool bucket wrench

I made one out of a 12" length of 1"X1" box and a 1" long length of 1" angel with one edge milled or ground sharp welded on about 2" from the end like a old churdh key bottel opener I had a plastic one from the home store and it broke I will try to post a pic. It will sometimes punture the lid on tough ones Good Luck Kevin
