A tool for opening the ends of cans or metal containers which are used to store and ship welding rods or electrodes, the can having four elongated rectangular sides closed over by two opposite ends which are attached to the sides by beads; the tool being made from a relatively thin sheet of metal and having a forward flat triangular shaped portion terminating in a forward point, a pair of spaced legs extending rearwardly away from the triangular shaped portion and away from the point, a handle connected to the outer ends of the legs, a portion of the trianglular shaped section between the point and the handle being bent upwardly at right angles to form a protective shield for the operator of the tool, whereby the tool can be applied to the can adjacent one of the ends so that the point is just behind the bead, the triangular portion of the tool being wider than one of the sides of the can such that it can be pushed entirely into the side so as to cut the corners of the can adjacent the side being cut.

A tool for opening the ends of cans or metal containers which are used to store and ship welding rods or electrodes, said can having four elongated rectangular sides closed over by two opposite ends which are attached to the sides by beads; said tool being made from a relatively thin sheet of metal and having a forward flat triangular shaped portion terminating in a forward point, a pair of spaced legs each leg having an inner end and an outer end, the spaced legs being connected at their inner ends to the triangular shaped portion so as to extend rearwardly away from the triangular shaped portion and away from said point, a handle connected to the outer ends of said legs, a part of the triangular shaped portion between the point and the handle being bent upwardly at right angles to form a protective shield for the operator of the tool, whereby the operator of the tool can insert his fingers in the resulting space formed by the handle, the shield and the spaced legs, and, whereby the tool can be applied to the can adjacent one of the ends so that the point is just behind the bead, the triangular portion of the tool being wider than one of the sides of the can such that it can be pushed entirely into the side so as to cut the corners of the can adjacent the side being cut.
