Default special tool used

I remember being out in the field and pulled up to a line of plastic cans to fill up a 5/4 ton. We had a hell of a time to undo the lids and picked the easier ones. It took two guys to open one can.

The Service Battalion types laughed at us and then produced a tool they had made to go over the top of the lid and spin it. They used these to close the lids as well after filling them up. I guess we were a source of entertainment for a while.

I have made one up from memory, and it works.

If there is an interest i can get more made. Not sure what the price will be but i can guarantee you will never have a problem opening a plastic can again. Plus if somebody steals your full can they will never open it without it if you use it to close it.

Eric
