Abstract: A lid removing device comprises a clamp consisting of a front leg, a rear leg and a central segment therebetween. A vertically positioned front leg is formed as a solid generally rectangular shaped block. A rear leg is formed as a solid generally rectangular shaped block. The lowermost extent of the rear leg includes a frontwardly extending horizontal member with a slanted end. A horizontally positioned central segment is formed as a solid generally rectangular shaped block. The central segment is positioned upon the uppermost extents of the front and rear segments. A handle is formed as a solid generally rectangular shaped block with an upper region and a lower region. The lower region is formed as a solid-generally rectangular shaped block with an angled end at its lowermost extent. The lowermost extent is affixed to the central segment in an angled orientation in a direction opposite from the legs.
