Fuel wrench

Gents,

As much as I have looked around the net, as well as here, I can find nothing on where I can purchase one of the wrenches we used to open jerricans we carried on our vehicles overseas. I went to the local surplus shop to see if they had any but was sadly informed that the wrenches were not in regular circulation. If anyone can counter this information, I'd love to hear it. My reason for asking is because I have military jerrican and am tired of having a hernia every time I try to unscrew the lid. I know the cans are advertised as "easy opening" but I have yet to come across one that was.

Sir, perhaps an e-mail to the company at this site: http://awico.info/index.php?a=2&s=13&sub=2&lang=en

would yield information. It looks as if they have a variety of such wrenches.

Looking at the configuration, I wonder if a strap wrench, as used by plumbers, might suffice. http://www.plumbingstore.com/tools.html

The item is midway down.

Another such offering is available at Amazon:

Hope that helps.

Strap wrench! It'll do a lot more than open fuel cans.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
