This is a good idea. The weight of the paint will help the lid to come
off.

Feel free to substitute a plasma cutter
or gas ax for the screwdriver.

He meant the gas coming out of your ass, you can use that instead of
acetylene to open paint cans. Just remember to add some oxygen and
light that up.

That's very clever, AND very (very very) funny.
I find it interesting how you always chime in with really dull/stupid
comments when everybody else is having a good time laughing at your
antics.
So, here's my latest project. I got a military surplus lawn rake. It is
very sturdy. I will paint it and sell it.
When I use it, my weak skins gets blisters and I cry from the pain. What
should I do to prevent this injury when using this high quality rake?
It was been suggested that I use gloves, but I don't know. I have some
surplus gloves, they are very high quality.
What do you think I should do?
How do I use these gloves?
After everybody answers, I will just say that I will use the gloves, and
that was my original plan anways.
I need a quick answer now.
