LIGHT DUTY JUNK: Tools and Equipment

Large thin metal funnel. Arrived in a large box, well wrapped in gift paper but crumpled. What looks like a coil of wire at the top edge is only half twisted (no wire) with raw sharp edges and can't take much force. Putting a heavy container on its edge can be a challenge. The metal gauge seems to be a lot thinner than some old galvanized funnels. It's leaking now and will likely get worse with use. I have since ordered/received/used a stronger plastic funnel which is probably the new standard in durable funnels. UPDATE 6-23-15: In addition to the modest specs mentioned above; The funnel catches a small amount of liquid in the (leaky) seam between the two corner components. No problem if you pour water. what about fuels Hence the previous 3 stars have dropped to 1 star. Its value as a serious tool and at the price charged for looting is questionable!

Pros
  • Galvanized Steel Funnel, 8 liter capacity
Cons
  • All Fine
