Paint Bottle Opener

Post by IanS »

Hi Guys, Just a quickie, I recently saw a video where someone was using a yellow coloured device for opening Tamiya/Mr Hobby paint bottles that have had dried paint around the lid. Has anyone else seen this inexpensive bottle opener from 'Morrisons' it does the job just as well as the one I saw on the video, I think it was a Mr Hobby tool.

Nice find, was going to buy one of the dedicated hobby paint openers on a recent order somewhere and also recently having to struggle opening some old Tamiya paint jars (held them under a hot water tap for a while) these look like they will do the job for any paint jar.

Now where is my nearest Morrisons store!

Yup! I find I get a bit more leverage with these bad boys though!
