JSP Manufacturing Miltary Water Cap Wrench for your Scepter Skilcraft Military Water Cans MWC

I have 3 different makes and models and sizes of fuel cans, this doesn't fit ay of them. Well made, but too large of an opening for my Sceptre cans, which were the ones I needed a wrench for.

Works great, and a must-have for the Scepter 5-gallon military style water cans. This thing is sturdy and durable. I have one of the Scepter cans that I've converted into a pressurized camp shower, and it's absolutely essential to have the cap screwed on tightly to contain the pressure. My old-man hands are no longer capable of the torque necessary to secure and remove the cap, so this tool is essential. Well worth the purchase price.

Awesome item. Fits Skilcraft and Scepter 5 gal MILITARY style can caps (be careful, there's a CHEAPER 5 gal/20 L Scepter can out there that's BLUE, and is NOT the same, and this will NOT work on that one. This works on the Scepter 05177 Military Water Container - 5 Gallon (20 Litre), ASIN B00ZLYUOP6 and the Skilcraft 7240013655317 Can, Water, Military, Plastic, Green, 5 Gal, 7240-01-365-5317, available at other outlets. They're basically the same, NATO standard - the Skilcraft is made in the USA, the Scepter in Canada. Aside from slight color differences and markings, they're the same. Saw other reviewers saying they don't fit. Well, you need to know how to use this. It DOES fit BOTH (I have this wrench and I have both manufacturer's cans as specified above, and it works). It's made to fit tightly on the large opening. The trick, fit the notch on the underside of this wrench down on the cap TAB first. There's a notch on the wrench on the HANDLE side of it that fits there. It does take a little push, but it'll fit. THEN, step 2, push down the opposite side of the wrench (across from the handle); there's a notch there that fits over the cap LOOP. Push (it'll go!) down, and now you've locked the wrench securely on the cap. Turn to open. The design is overall brilliant. There's also a vent cap and a small cap that you can attach a spigot to on the large cap. Look at the end of this wrench handle, there's a small hole. Sure, you can put a loop on that and hang it, but it's MADE to open the smallest (vent) cap on the large cap! Then underneath the wrench (it's not "bored through" like the vent tool) is a wrench that'll fit the larger (spigot/pour cap) of the two "on cap" covers. Hope that helps. It absolutely works!

This JSP Manufacturing Water Cap Wrench is a fantastic item and an absolute necessity for anyone using Scepter, LCI, or Skilcraft Military Water Cans (MWCs). It does exactly what it's supposed to do: provide the perfect leverage to tighten the main cap just enough to create a reliable, leak-proof seal—without overtightening and damaging the threads. No more straining my hands or struggling to open a cap stuck on a swollen can! Beyond the main cap, the built-in smaller wrenches for the vent and spout caps are a brilliant touch, making this a true all-in-one tool. It is constructed from heavy-duty, durable glass-reinforced polymer plastic, so I have zero worries about it breaking, even with heavy-duty use. If you want to ensure your water cans are sealed securely for travel or long-term storage, this is the tool you need. Highly recommended!

1. Hand-tightening the Scepter water may not be enough. I used this to make it snug enough for no leaks. 2. Other cans are too flimsy to survive a drop and may not be stackable. These are. 3. The 2.5G is much more manageable than the 5G. 4. The handle is nice and holds nicely. They are round, so they may cause slippage if your hand is oily or wet. 5. Its thickness is sufficient to be carried outside a truck. 6. The design is timeless and rectangular.
