      I freaking love this place. Probably the only place where I can learn about $60 gas cans, get a few laughs, and get club building advice in the same 10 minutes.

        I had my roof replaced about 5-7 yrs ago & I left the garage door open so the guys could use the GFI protected outlets.
        Anything important / expensive was locked-up so I wasn't concerned about theft. When I got home from work I had a new roof & I was short one old school red plastic 5 gallon gas can. Called the roofing company & they sent a guy out to hear my story. He apologized, said he was sorry, would look into it and he dropped off a new style 5 gallon gas can filled with gas.

        This was my introduction to new style gas cans with the nonsensical sliding spout that's always feels like it's on the verge of breaking.

          bogeypro I've had a few of those, I seem to be able to "fix" them. I've been able to remove the slider, remove the spring, and replace the slider. Still slides and shuts off the flow when I manually operate it. I just don't have to force it and feel like I'm going to break it.

            LBlack14 If you see any more laying around I'll buy them! Bought 2 new cans last year to go with the generator and they're awful. You need 3 hands to use one of them while the other spills gas. As an engineer there's nothing I despise more than piss poor design.

                sdandrea1 Not you, just general subjects on GB. Now that @Subsonic has a long-term plan to receive Geezer credits, he can bring in Guest lecturers such as Toulon to describe techniques to irritate people in 5 words or less.
                As the Last Tee wannabe, I will support him in this endeavor. Make some money through YouTube

                  KCee get on John Deere and tell their guys that not everybody is 5'2" and weighs 110lbs. Worst golf course equipment I've ever dealt with.

                      The gas can is my number #1 way to show anybody who thinks we need more Government intervention, what you get when you let politicians dabble in something they have no clue about (which seems to be everything, but I digress). I’m not sure there has been a product that has regressed further since it’s inception.

                      Back in 2019 I bought about a dozen 5 gallon plastic gas cans online and IIRC they were about $12 each. They had the handle on top and side and were self venting. They had the one piece flexible spout with collar and cap. Nothing fancy. I can't believe that these are still not available.

                      Edited: After looking I still see the Midwest 5 gal red plastic cans available cheap but they all come with the "Quick Flo" nozzle which I guess is what everyone is crabbing about. There are a bunch of hack videos available on Youtube for the nozzle. Here is one that takes the spring out of the nozzle.

                        My adapters like those from Amazon are in route as I write this. No more 'gas hands'..... and garage floor.
