Send me a link for a 5 gallon Wavion can purchased after this madness. I know they make them but not sure which is actually the correct fit.
I don't know Jerry cans. I just know the Eagle and Justrites.
Wife got a Sure can 2 gallon at a conference for free. They're not too bad. Made local to me.

That one works the best for me! The metal not as good, for filling my 4 wheeler.
Or at least I thought they were made here. Address is North Ogden Utah. Their office is 12 miles from my work.
Might want to look out fellows, fall and thoughts of Halloween, headless horseman and witches are going to fill the air.

may make it there too. idk. they definitely have a plant in Lebanon, TN
I tell anybody who is "Just now getting into guns" that they should just leave all that to the uniformed (while I pat their hand reassuringly). I don't want untrained idiots, or former lefites who haven't given up their agenda, armed, and trained. They now have the exact environment they voted for, let them live with it.

Wrong thread for this. This is the second or third time. Please delete. Post in Motivational or somewhere else. Not here.
The lifetime warranty or forever whichever comes first doesn't seem to be anymore.
Not around here. Everything went from "back to school" directly to "Christmas". Didn't even slow down long enough to smell the pumpkin and mince meat pies...........
Replacement warranty is REALLY useful at 1 in the morning as you break a socket finishing the job up......
I'd rather buy good tools and tell everyone who wants to borrow them to fuck right off.
It's funny how the Snap-on/Matco guy never comes around when you have a broken tool.
Or he sits there and tells you it looks like this socket has been in an impact, or you had a cheater on your ratchet and won't warranty it. Fuck strap-on.
No, maybe on their highest end tools there is. My dad used to go to garage sales and get tools. Snap on, matco, craftsman, good or broken, then take the busted ones in for warranty replacements. He had a decent set of tools, especially good for a home diy’er.
garage journal has a forum with a thread of lists of tool truck brands with the actual companies that make em
Just an FYI

Back in my days on the farm we cleaned out some pasture for more farm ground. Mesquite trees and hand tools, Grubbing hoe, ax, and shovel. Lot of hard work involved. Later dynamite was employed for some stubborn post holes.
After becoming a welder I had to travel long distances to some leases and bought a GI can to carry extra gasoline. Eventually along came the safety man to inspect my rig to see if I was carrying anything dangerous. The GI can had to go although I pointed out that we had successful fought WW II with them. No go, I still had to go to an EPA safety can. Back then that consisted of a round can that took up more room, a short spout with a spring loaded cover that had to be held open and a screen inside the spout that caused the gas to slowly gurgle out and required a funnel to prevent spilling most of it's contents. As soon as the safety guy checked my new can I took a piece of rod and a hammer and knocked the screen out and cut off a piece of hose so I could siphon gas out of the can instead of spilling a lot of it on me and what I was trying to pour the gas into. Safety guy never caught onto to me bypassing the EPA.
Along with the gas can thing he brought up that oxygen and acetylene bottles had to be separated by 10' so we might have to look at that on my truck. I handed him a tape measure and told him to figure how it could be done and I would do it. Now he was smarter than the average safety person that got their job by not being very good at anything else so was shuffled out the way. In fact we were pretty good friends. He just handed my tape back and that was the end of the conversation. Eventually he became so disgusted with that job that he stepped down and became a roustabout, the lowest job the company had, and he was a good one as he came to our area and I got to watch him in action.

I bought one of the “much touted” Rotopax cans for my bike trip. The flat red ones that are hanging like leeches off the sides of tricked out Land Cruisers at mall parking lots across suburbia. Had a long stretch (400km) of no gas and they recommend a can. Though I was pretty confident my almost-11 gallon Dakar tank was up to the distance… hey, can’t hurt. So mounted to the back and put about 1.5 gallons in “just in case” before the long section.
Ok… so go about 200 km and it’s break time. I want to put the gas in the tank so it’s not hanging off the back and being a safety hazard.
WTF.
The nozzle on that thing won’t work. It has locks. It has pop-off parts. It has a non-removeable plastic Screen inside (when you fill it, it shoots gas out on you)… and when I tried to fill, I could not get gas to come out… but it leaked all around the nozzle.
Finally took off the $&#%+ing useless spout. Turned the can on its side and slowly poured into my bike.
What a piece of garbage. $80 plus a $45 mounting kit… for a two gallon reserve… and it doesn’t $&@^%#ing work for crap. It’s Jeep eye candy… Bronco Bait… Tacoma trash for man buns who want to look all rugged. They probably fill them with Bud Light or Kale juice.
Just total poseur garbage to hang off your bugout wanna-be vehicle.
Not that I’ll need it again (maybe in Alaska) but when I get home I am going to punch out the stupid screen… and machine a spout that has a rubber hose on it.
Never… buy a goddamned Rotopax. Now every time I see one, I am going to know poseur. And will be embarrassed to even use mine. Proof that idiots Don’t have to work for the government to screw up a gas can. They can be private sector losers as well!!!
I bet Audi Drivers buy them by the metric ton.
