Technical A Simple Idea to Save You Hundreds $$$$$

Well over a life time that is! Ever get tired of spending your hard earned money on rattle cans only to drop them knowing that the spray nozzle will be the first thing to go flying? I present the HMNP (home made nozzle protector)...........................................

 

That is a great idea, I have had that problem more than once

 

It's one of those "WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT!" Great tip Thanks! Joe

 

Now that's sharp thinking.
Thanks, I'm going to do that.

 

Absolutely genius!
Don't forget patent pending. HRP

 

That is a cool idea and don't forget to get the marble out of the can before you dispose of the can. Hobo Jim

 

better than the Chip Foose designed flexible WD40 spray head. Rack 'em !

 

SHAM-WOW!

 

After months of R&D work I have a new improved version, a simple hole for the squirter tube instead of the slot. Benefits, the cap stays on with a lot more clamping force!

 

When I buy gallon cans of acrylic thinner where I live, they come with two 5 peso pieces in the bottom. I have no idea why they are in there, neither does the shop that I buy it from. Works out to about 25 cents, but in a country where a laborer earns about 300 pesos a day it seems odd to give it away

 

Now, you didn't spray that bacon in the background as part of your research, did you???

GREAT idea- can't tell you how many cans I've dropped/killed over the past couple of years!

 

Weird to me !? In all my years, I have never dropped and or destroyed a rattle can. Seriously ! But thanks for sharing this with all that have. I guess I am luckier than I thought.!

 

My bigger issue is knocking the spray tube off the nozzles of carb cleaner, WD-40, etc. So I super glue them to the nozzle prior to first use, then when the can is empty, I swap it to the next can.

 

Don't worry, I've more than made up for the ones you didn't drop. Mine have a habit of doing suicide dives off the places I sat them on.

 

Shall we assume that you've crash-tested some and the survival rate is indeed better?

 

My cans love to land on their heads when they are brand new. I can't tell you how many cans I have lost that way. Great idea! Thanks

Is that ... Bacon?

It is Bacon awareness month, so it kinda makes sense

 

Great idea!

 

Usually when you are walking across the shop, so you don't know where it went to.....

 

I read "bacon" out loud and my dog woke up and started wagging his tail and licking his lips... ! Hahaha..

Ever notice, some words or concepts, are never, ever spoken or seen together?

Things like "Leftover Bacon"? It ain't happenin'.

 

Ok, now that you have protected the spray nozzle, you saved one can - BUT - what about us few dummies that happen to drop a can of "something" and break off the nozzle on a brand new can
Has anyone ever figured out a way to remove the small tube so a new one can be reinstalled ???
I am open to any sort of suggestions..... Thanks

 

Try "carefully" screwing a good sharp drywall screw into it(by hand & just the broken off part) ..then pull the stub out... It works...usually...

 

Great idea! I'm one of the lucky ones, my rattle cans don't seem to like the high dive.

 

Most excellent!
