This article presents the Hydraulic Lid Puller, which uses hydraulics to safely open CIV lids. The device consists of an L‐shaped frame with a suspended hook to catch the lid and uses a bottle jack for power. The article provides the materials and directions needed to construct this device, and lists the benefits which include preventing injuries, and decreasing the amount of labor required to open stuck lids.
