Tip of the day.

We go through more than 1 gallon of bar oil per year and that is exactly what we do. That is, take a knife and make a slot cut in the can seal for highly controllable pours. I'll post a pic if I can get one.

Yes, post a pic, the only way I picture it is a slit in the inner foil seal, but that doesn’t seem right.

I use a permanent marker to write the tire pressure on the inside of tire rims. Tractor, Gator (front and back different), 2 double axel trailers, ZTR.... Just cannot remember and hard to read pressure without finding my glasses!

That is exactly correct, on the inner foil seal. You will never spill bar oil again!

I've been doing this for anything that needs a controlled pour, not just oil.

Instead of pull chains for lights in our closets I installed motion sensor lights.
Hate having to find the pull chain in the dark.

Motion sensor switches are great little gadgets. I have one in the bathroom with some under the counter edge lights set for 4 minutes. In the middle of the night I don't have to find the light switch. It turns on when I get out of bed and turns off after I'm back in bed. No more fumbling around in the dark.

I have another in a dark shed. This one is used with a lawnmower 12v battery and a string of LED lights. Been meaning to put a small solar charger on the battery but as it is connected with alligator clips it needs charging about 2 times a yr. 50ft of LED Light up the 10x16 shed pretty good. Again auto on when you open the door and off at your setting 5-15min. Need more time? Wave your arm.

Here is the bar oil jug with a pour slot cut in its foil seal. I see a did a rather poor job cutting on this one!

The other is how we carry bar oil and saw gas into the field when we backpack it in. This a msl fuel bottle which are leak proof since they are a pressure vessel. The oil bottle remains a bar oil bottle.

Sometimes I use an axe or a rock as you have. Mostly I prefer to cut a triangle with my pocket knife.

Paint Pens work great for filters and rims also. More permanent than a Sharpie but still comes off with brake cleaner.

Doorbell switch for each garage door opener by each G/D, and the bank of them together at the house door. So nice to walk out the G/D and hit the switch right by it.
