    Abstract: An Aerosol salvage tool used for tapping and dispensing, for their intended use, aerosol products that have had their original dispensing actuators or nozzles broken or disabled. This tool comprises two separately formed handles pivotally attached to each other which form an adjustable circular containment for an aerosol container. This allows for multiple size aerosol containers to fit within the tool. One of the handles has a container piercing member mounted thereon. As the handles are pivoted towards each other the inside diameter closes in engaging the piercing member and aerosol container thereby piercing the container allowing it's content to flow through the member into it's spray actuator and nozzle. Simultaneously as the handles are drawn toward each other a staged locking devise and safety lock engages holding the tool in place on the container thereby preventing the tool from being released accidentally.
