Abstract: A tool for cutting the ends from spent cans of paint, solvents, or coatings so that the can wall can be easily flattened to facilitate disposal. The tool includes a handle having a hand grip on one end and a cutting head on the other end. The cutting head presents a special circular cutting blade having two sharp points and a tapered configuration between the points and a pair of valleys. A weighted sleeve which slides on the handle applies a driving force to the cutting head, causing the sharp points to pierce the can end followed by slicing action from the remainder of the cutting edge to cleanly sever the end of the can.
