I like flippy caps. And to be honest, normal caps piss me off now

If you're talking about the husky flippy caps then yes they are great. I would like to see how well they hold up in a professional loggers hands. Sure would suck if the flippy part broke off in the field

Flippies are ok.
Iv never had problems with husky flippies.
But i like my traditional caps. IMO The problem most people have is they tighten things down WAY to much.
Stop tightening them down so dang tight and there will be no problems.

They can become a PITA when they get loaded up. Remove them and let them soak in some solvent and they are as good as new.

Never had floppy caps so no input there. Was thinking tonight that I wished all companies made the fuel and oil fill holes on the saw the “male” part and the caps the “female” part. Cleaning around the caps and trying to get them clean before opening on my Dolkita is a pain compared the my Echos.

Haven't had any issues with the husqvarna flip caps. Have had some **** ups with the stihl ones. Husky flippers on a 461; that would be perfect.
I like flip caps. I hate it when my scrench ends up stripping out the screw cap, the Husqvarna design on the 3 series was much better than Stihl’s screw caps. Husqvarna caps are probably easier to use, but the Stihl ones may be more durable long-term.
Who knows? Everyone can like what they like, but flip caps are here, and probably to stay.

I've never had a flippy come off unless I take it off. Can't say that about regular screw on caps. Nothing fun about getting fuel on your cloths and have to wear them all day because your in the field and can't change them. Sure can irritate and blister the skin.

Fascinating, now all the 372 needs is a fuel sight window! How one would implement this? Hmmm got the gears turning

It has one. When you hear it start leaning out, re-fill it
.
Wait till you have to buy one. Up here the Stihl dealer sells em for $20.00.
Stihl has the transparent tank, have to say I like that.

I don’t have any experience with the husky flipping caps.
I have experience with flippy caps on a Stihl brush cutter. Pissed me off. Several times I thought it locked in only to pick it up and spill a tank full of gas down my leg.
Maybe it was just me. Lol
