This raises the question (to me), do they make a tool especially FOR
opening paint cans?
As a youngster, my dad taught me to use the screwdriver with golden
handle that already had paint all over it (maybe after my indiscriminate
use of other ones..). At least he let me have free rein--my primary
guidance was not to flip the switch on the table saw.

Can openers, often part of a bottle opener - sometimes referred to
as a "church key"
