As with many things, the things that look easier don't always work as well.
The schrench remains a screwdriver tool, to this day, and most saws still retain the caps with slot. I have a box of flip caps, to replace the box of flip caps that fail. There is a YT video on how to unlock them? The slot caps have a simple flat gasket, easily replaced, even once, for those saws.Na you can’t, the tanks are different threads. That said, think yourself VERY fortunate to have a machine that doesn’t use flippy caps! The screw caps are wayyy better, don’t leak, easy to tighten more if the seal starts to get a bit old, the cap covers the whole tank threads so no sawdust falls in. The list is endless for the pros of the screw caps. Flippy caps fail, crack, leak, can’t be tightened more than what the thread offers, often fiddly to twist on and off. Stay away
Yep I get that you use your scrench, but you shouldn’t have to if you’re not over tightening the cap. It’s to remove a stuck cap, not to tighten it down.
