Looking for a decently made combi can...

[Chris Sheppard]

I've had my current Oregon one for a good fw years and it's lasted fine. The stihl nozzles fit too.

 

Only negative I can think of is they're not as stable as a stihl one when in the back of the landy but I got rund that by chucking my fuelcans, oil cans etc into a plaggy box.

Clear Oregon are the ones I got.

Orange Oregon one for me

1997 vintage transulecent thick plastic Stihl one survived being tipped:001_rolleyes: from a hydraulic tractor link box semi full of hard core, being graded level with said link box , picked out of the dirt, squashed & scratched but still fine.

Filt it wi petrol , screwed caps on and left in full hot Sun for a wheen o hours .

That un-squashed it good, also proved it didnay leak.

I dont like the threads on the caps though, they seem to run sideways very easy, have to be gi particular when screwing the stroups back on.

Only out a few weeks per annum mind.

All the "had it years" comments are pretty well discounted unfortunately. I had an old Husky can for years and it was great, now they're s***!

 

I wish there was a better maker of the Husky style can. The Stihl fillers don't look so good, the Oregon's look super long and for what reason? I'm a fussy bugger...

I've got a couple of the Oregon ones, they've lasted fine and they're about half the price of the Stihl offering! Also the Stihl no spill nozzle fits on them if that's an issue for you, don't know about the Husky nozzle.

got a couple of the husky ones and a stihl one for filling saws before we go out.

Everyone seems to prefere using the husky ones and tbh considering how much money we spend on the fuel and oil over a year a nozzle at £7.50 does not worry me.

just buy a few spares and remember orange rules:thumbup:

[Dog Tag]

i think some folk need a bit more respect for a container that holds such a flammable liquid ????,

 

& may be a lesson on how to use them properly

Hey guys. I'm interested to hear which combi cans you use and why? After a recent failure of my Husqvarna can I'll not be buying another!

 

It's a shame really. I had an old Husky can for years and it did really well. After what, ten years it failed on me and I was more than happy with that service so bought another. Well this new one is pants! It's really thin and in the truck the other day it happened to bump into the saw chain which resulted in an empty can by the time I got home. The old can had nicks and scrapes all over it and it worked just fine because it was made to a decent standard... This new thing is paper thin, I guess just a cost cutting exercise?

 

So, what should I buy to replace it? I don't mind paying for decent kit and to a point I can put up with cheap junk. What I can't tolerate though is expensive junk which lines the manufacturers pockets. I'm really quite offended by the s*** Husqvarna have on offer - I expected more from what I consider to be one of the best makers in this field! I've had the can six months and it's already broken a petrol filler and now it's been cut open by what I would consider to be a light scrape. I'm really not pleased!

 

I think husquvarna as a company are crap nowadays as I'm still waiting for a reply to an email I sent 2 months ago:)
