Review on πŸ”΄ Scepter FR1G252 2 Gallon Gas Can with Spill Proof SmartControl Spout and Bonus Funnel for Fuel Storage, Red by David Hill

Revainrating 4 out of 5

VERY EXPENSIVE AND DIFFICULT

I'm old enough to remember when gas canister was just gas canister. The environmental and safety standards have clearly changed, as has the gas cartridge! We have the most expensive and complicated 2 gallon gas canister I have ever seen. But does it really work? Well, something like that. Turning on the jet is a two step process and honestly no easier than other modern gas jets I've used. You press the tab key and then the giant green lever. Unfortunately, once opened, you are greeted with a very slow stream. Glad I have the 2 gallon version. Because you get really tired of holding it while the 5 gallons flow a little faster than a leaky faucet. At least the nozzle angle is quite ergonomic, which is a bit of a respite. Now I CAN give it good marks for not leaking and well made. Nice thick plastic. Reliable blocking of the nozzle screw. The flash suppressor is a nice security feature that doesn't hamper use at all. And it even comes with a built-in funnel that stays around your collar until you need it. So why? Well, it's compact and comes with a funnel. So if you're the kind of person who works on the "E" a lot, this little tin can come in handy to keep in the trunk. It's also a bit slower than other earbud designs for everyday use and probably not an "upgrade". It wasn't the "better mousetrap" I was hoping for...

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Some difficulties
