Abstract
A paint can cap remover system and method is provided. The system includes a cap remover and a leverage element. The cap remover and leverage element are either a single unitary item or two separate items. The cap remover includes a main body portion with thumb tabs and a receiving edge. The receiving edge is configured to engage with the cap of a paint can, while the thumb tabs are configured to engage with a paint can cap and translate leveraging forces into rotational movement to assist in dislodging and removing the paint cap. The leverage element includes a handle portion and a connecting portion. The handle portion provides a surface or handle for a user to apply leveraging forces to the leverage element. The connecting portion interfaces with the cap remover to transfer forces applied to the leverage element.
