    You’re a genius, your trick with the quarters saved me. I was trying to open a partially used 5 gallon bucket of paint. I didn’t even know a bucket opener existed so I tried a screwdriver and pliers to no avail and your quarter trick worked like a charm. This 68-year-old woman with two bad shoulders was able to open that bucket right up thank you so much.

      Yes indeed! It worked wonderfully well for me also. I also tried the very same things which didn't work at all but those quarters worked amazingly well. Who would have ever thought of such a thing? Thank you so much. You are wonderful!!!

    I saw this video years ago and it is THE ONLY UA-cam video that really helps the consumer find a way to open a 5 gallon bucket of snow melt. Thank you so much for the "two quarter" trick ... as Carmelita1950 wrote 3 years ago: GENIUS!

    The quarter trick worked like a charm--just went around the edges and pulled them up bit by bit until I could pull the whole lid off. Great video.

    I am fascinated by the fact that the manufacturers of those backers have not been sued out of business. The one I was trying to open is a lot larger with heavier plastic... I am pretty technical, but I thought I was missing something, after I watched you video I saw there were no secret , that's what I was doing... I opened many paint or mud bracket without any problem, but that was something else. It is a dish washing liquid 5 gallon bracket. Since I play guitar and had no desire the damage my fingers I used a very large screwdriver to pry open. In any case I have never seen such a stupid and dangerous system specially considering how easy it would be to have a screw on lid.
