How do I get this bucket open?

[Oyster_-]

This pull tab is made of very thick plastic and I can’t seem to get it open.

A knife to get it started again and a pair of pliers to pull it.

I never had a hard time opening it. You must have gotten a bucket that did not get the tear away part made right.

I had something similar happen recently and that's how I did it.

Sometimes it really is that simple!
