How do you get the lid off the product?

Open the lid, and at the base of the lid where it connects to the body, there's a small metal bar that is slid into a locked position in the body. While the lid is upright, gently guide the bar up, over, and past the little lock, and pull up. It should come right out.

The lid is attached on a hinge... You can only open it by pressing on a button on top to fill it.

There is a clip at the back of the lid. Press down and lift the lid and it comes odd. Do the reverse to put lid back on.

Yes -- this is a real problem with this lid. Every once in a while I have to wait to have one of my sons get it off for me (it can take brute force).

It's not that easy. I just tried to remove it for the first time and took me about 2 min. Best way seems to pry it off from the top down.

I am not at home to look at my container but if I remember correctly, there is a little piece of plastic somewhere around the lid that you snap off. When this piece is off, you have a place to put your finger to pry off the top.

Yes I can remove the lid, if I pull on it even a little, after the middle button is pushed down. I was able to do this pretty much immediately, so it's not that the product is old or faulty. They don't seal 100%. They close pretty well but they are not airtight at all. I live in Hawaii, and was concerned about bugs and humidity. The good part is that bugs (esp ants) haven't gotten in yet, after two years. But the bad part is that the humidity has gotten in. So most of the stuff I keep is in a plastic bag inside of the container. Pretty lame, considering the price, but they stack well and aren't ugly.

Hi. I have one of these, and I can take the lid off of mine without removing it from the base.

I had the same problem. You should be able to unscrew the lid. If not, use plyers. Then take a screwdriver amd just keep "stabbing" that flat part until you puncture it. All you need is a small hole. Hope that helps!

You need to press the two tabs in with a butter knife or a flat head screw driver to remove the lid.

There is a pull tab on the lid that may require a pair of pliers to tear it around and free it from the main part of the lid. Also, I think you have to use a pair of scissors or a knife to get the tear started. It is not easy.

You need to twist it off. it is kind of tricky, but just be patient and hold the bottom part and twist the lid. if you look at the lid, you can see there is a part that locks on the bottom part.

If the little brown clips are pushed outward, that locks the lid. Push them toward the middle to release. I never lock mine because the lid fits into grooves and won't fall off. They turn the lid counter clockwise to release it. It should then just lift right up.

Take a pair of adjustable pliers and force the bottle lid to unscrew. There are fins inside the cap you can then clip to allow it to be filled as you like and bottle reused.

pop the top(the "handle" it takes a little effort!)then take off the clear plastic part. The cap on the bottom acts as a funnel to help! let me know if that helps!

I have had this problem also..I took 2 inch metal pain scraper put it on one of the humps on the lid and tapped it with a hammer. It took a few tries but it jarred it enough so I could unscrew it. Good Luck!

Hold opener parallel to the top of the can, and clamp on. You don't need to clamp very hard. Then turn handle clockwise. The other direction will not work. Use the pliers to take the lid off.

Sometimes I just pull the lid off...it works!After using it, don't put the lid on all the way...just rest it tilted on the jar so it doesn't get sick or you can just leave it uncovered in your cabinet!

I seem to remember that there are two small plastic "ears" on each side of the lid which will allow the lid to be pulled off without damage. Easy to put back.
