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...

I haven't checked, but I doubt Home Depot will ship it to your house for
48 cents.

So? Most of us live close enough to a Home Depot that it's no burden to
drop in and pick one up. Of course if you live in the boondocks . . .

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!

Amazon prices aren't really much better than the local stores anymore.
Sometimes they aren't as good.
