Pail openers

I have seen some pretty cool ways to quickly open pails. I've seen one where its something you jab into the top of the pail and you're able to pour from there. How is that done? How do you do it?

This is what I do. Learned it from dwan here on the boards. At 1:07 is where it starts if you wanted to skip ahead. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10101283652217836&am…

Tru colors does it splash paint around when you do it?

Round fence post cut at an angle. We now call him Mike the Impailer.

It looks like a corner type of chainlink post which would be 2 1/2 inch outside diameter. I believe it might be schedule 40 guage pipe as it is one of the strongest around? The thinner guage steel posts available, would not have the strength or "cutting power" to withstand the impact on the steel pail lid? I got to hand it to ya TruColors! Worked like a charm! Nice, neat cut into the lid.

I wish I could take credit but all the credit in the world goes to Dwan. It's his invention. I saw it laying around in one of his photos. He explained what it was for then I took that and made the video showing y'all how it's used. It works like a charm.
