Only an idiot can look at the facts and still deny them.

The only noteworthy fact is there are people, myself included that forget to screw the flippy cap into the tank and therefore the fluid leaks out.
That is in stark contrast to most flippy cap complainers, because we just admit that we failed and didn't install the cap, instead of blaming it on the actual flippy cap for not installing itself. That is the most noteworthy fact there is about Flippy Caps, the rest is just the same 35 people out of 1 million, that won't own up to the fact that they forget to screw the cap in or the flippy cap somehow outsmarts them.
To fail to screw in a cap is human, to fail to screw in a cap and then blame the cap for not holding the fluid in, is petty and juvenile.
I failed to screw in the cap on my bar oil jug one morning, had to spend the rest of the morning setting it perfectly upright so I didn't loose my oil and have to go back to the truck ..................... I didn't blame the jug's cap for that fail.

My next STIHL was an MS 250, the gas flippie is good to go but the oil flippie is a bit tricky,
So, I just had my first experience with "flippy caps" last week while using my buddy's saw (MS250)
(ps Interesting forum. I'd never have imagined that I'd see 6 pages of comments about flippy caps.)
Wait until they start discussing mix ratios...six pages is just the warm up. Welcome to AS.
You guys who say that problems with flippy caps are 100% operator can K^A. My neighbor has a :
flippy caps was the main reason i switched to huskies
Well that is certainly one way of looking at it.
I always figured that those of a lesser mental capacity required more instruction to accomplish the same tasks that others just seem to pick up naturally or with less issues. I think the Stihl engineers and document writers have shown an incredible amount of patience by providing additional reading materials as learning aids for those that can't just simply figure out how to work a simple cap, like the rest of the population.
My kids can figure out how to operate the flippy cap. Here is an instructional video for those that can't figure it out. If its too fast for some of you then use the pause button or slow motion.

Thats why the 660 is the best stihl saw, I would buy a 660 anyday ...as do most loggers, zero flippys in the forestry around my area, its all 660 or 390/395, and some 372 for working the dumps.. ..No flippy cap on the 660. Yet.
How big is your Stihl tattoo?
