Bucket Lid Opening Tool – helps with buckets, great for homebrew grain storage

5 Gallon Bucket Lid Opener

More Info
Highlighted Features
  • 5 Gallon Paint Can Lid Opener
  • Works Great For 5-Gallon Paint Cans
  • Easy To Use And Stores Easily With The Hand Hole On Handle
  • Brand Name: Linzer

 

Buckets are an economical way to store grain and more.  Lids can be difficult to pry off.  This tool helps with the task. Note that this is designed for use with standard-type bucket lids and may not work well with thin-lipped style lids used on some fermenters.

Also Consider Gamma Seal Lids: Gamma Seal Lids have an outer ring (that typically stays installed) along with a center section that spins on and off.  It’s airtight and easy to open and close.  Search Amazon “gamma seal lid”

DEWALT Deep Socket Set, 20-Piece, 3/8″ Drive Metric/SAE (DWMT73812)

More Info
Highlighted Features
  • Knurled Beauty Rings help reduce slippage for hand tightening applications for the mechanic socket set
  • DirectTorque Technology
  • SAE & Metric Socket Set Comes with Lockable Stacking Cases

Standard Ball Lock keg posts come in two sizes 11/6″ and 7/8″.

From what I can gather this set includes both 11/6″ and 7/8″ sizes. Also, from what I can gather these look like 6 point sockets. Not 100% sure on that. If that is the case it may limit the usefulness of the 7/8″ socket, See: Homebrew Keg Post Sizes – Ball Lock & Pin Locks
