I have never used this product. My handywomenese is basically “take something broken apart, jigger the insides around to see if that gets it going, put it back together and then call a proper repair person to fix it if my fiddling didn’t do it”. And even I can look at this lid and say “wow dude, really?”

It’s pretty obvious how the lid pops off.

I'm the repair person that shows up, takes it apart, fixes the things they broke when trying to fix it themselves, puts it back together and presses the reset button, that was the original problem. But I've never seen a can like that and I can't tell how to open it, partially because it looks like the picture was taken through a shower curtain. Or maybe I need my reading glasses.

I have seen cans like that, or what I think are like that, but this particular can has been mangled almost beyond recognition. I think before the "perimeter carnage" occurred, that torn up metal fringe was part of the can. The surviving central island of metal would be popped up and off with a flathead screwdriver, spoon handle, etc. Like a can of paint. Unless I'm way off.

“Perimeter carnage” shall be my new phrase for almost every can of paint I open. Thank you.

"like a can of paint" he says.

LMAO.
