flippy caps was the main reason i switched to huskies
Half the problem seems to be location. More than once I've gotten the cap up against the wood, and unscrewed it I suspect by pivoting the saw while cutting. Once the cap is loose, it's very good at unscrewing itself completely off.
And that's the non-flippy type as well.
Don't know if this was a flippy, but it still makes me laugh.
Have y'all noticed the new flippy-caps on the pics of the ms461s posted in the different threads?
They appear to have "gunning" lines to help align the cap Though the old ones have an arrow telling you where to insert them, and such.
....Clearly something is wrong when you have to explain to the user how to operate something that should be simple. Again, I haven't ever had problems with the caps, but it's obvious many people do. I think this is a good example of German engineering (no offense to Germans) where they overcomplicate the simplest things. We own a German car, and it's the same way. It would be a perfect car for a control freak.
Why did they try to improve on a standard threaded cap? It's the same way with auto fuel caps, the goofy quarter turn ones are always failing and the regular old fashioned ones never seem to wear out. Why introduce moving parts to something that doesn't need them? Of course, neither type works when you completely forget to put them on. (guilty):redface:

Joe Homeowner complaining he has to go in the gargae get a pair of pliers of some kind and open his gas cap (not knowing of course the scrench easily opens the cap).
