Use Tape Roll to Loosen Bucket Lids

Use a roll of tape as the impact tool to open stubborn 5-gallon chemical buckets for dip tanks. 


The circular edge distributes force evenly, reducing the chance of cracking the lid. One quick smack on the rim breaks the seal cleanly. 


No screwdriver prying, no busted knuckles. Works on old, warped, or chemical-swollen lids. Saves time during reclaim when every minute counts.
