Man, that engineer who came up with these little flip caps on Stihl saws sure oughta have to clean up my shoe and my shop floor. I was in a hurry to get to a small project at a community garden, so, as is my habit on a small job, I fueled and oiled the 200T. Small oil tank overfills easily. Whatever, I wipe it of and put the cap on. Thought I got it on right. I always start a saw before I take it somewhere, to make sure it starts. Then I see the oil cap on the floor, and a puddle of oil on the floor and on my shoe. YOu know, if you need a toolless cap, why not a flip-up flange that you use to unscrew the cap. The helical inclined plane known as a threaded fitting has been around for many years, and it still works just fine. I don't care what anyone says. Those new flippy caps SUCK!!!
Notice the new 660 doesn't have them. There is a reason for that. It is a logger saw. Loggers don't like them little flip caps, simple as that.
