All one gallon and five gallon pails (containing palm, coconut and olive oil) that are sold by Wilderness Family Naturals have a standard bucket lid that requires small cuts around the edge of the lid with a scissors. Then you must pull on the lid, one section at a time to open. For those who find this procedure difficult, these handy lid lifters will make it a breeze. Certainly, if you have ever experienced difficulties opening buckets, this is the tool for you!
