    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.

It will sometimes punture the lid on tough ones Good Luck Kevin
