This raises the question (to me), do they make a tool especially FOR
opening paint cans?

Sure. Paint stores used to give them away. They look like a metal
bottle opener with a curved straight blade.

Nice. $4 at Amazon, 48 cents at Home Depot... Seems most things I look
up at Amazon is overpriced these days, much of it WAY overpriced. I
warned my family and friends about this, and might as well warn yins all
as well. Caveat emptor!

I don't buy too many things on Amazon for $.48 (well, screws ;-) but
free is even better. Though, I did have to pay $60/gallon for paint
(and that was 30% off!) to get them. The sales kid asked "do you want
stirrers and openers with that". "At that price for paint, you bet
your A$$". ;-)

Do you have a cheaper place where you can buy damned near everything?
