I am new to this, can you drill a hole in mason jar metal caps and fit these in or not?

Of course, just make sure the hole is the right size. If you're just going to use the plastic airlock and not the carboy rubber part, I would recommend buying some rubber washers that will fit tightly on the airlock on both sides of the mason jar.(washer/lid/washer, and stick the airlock through all the holes)

Can you? With a big hole saw bit, probably. But I don't know how these will hold up and seal against a thin metal lid like that. These are designed for sealing glass carboys. They're not as soft as some others but make a good seal against glass in my experience. The softer ones I've used have popped out during primary fermentation.

Unless you could make a perfectly round large (about an inch diameter) whole, I don't really think so.. I'm not sure it might be air tight if the whole isn't really round, like the top of a bottle. On the bright, it fits tons of bottles, pretty much any gallon or 1/2 gallon glass jars (like juice ones)

I imagine it could work but the hole you drill would have to be close to perfect because the rubber isn't that soft. These are priced reasonable enough that it would be worth a try. Let me know how you make out!

Cheryl, I'm not sure. The opening of a standard mason jar is 2 3/8. Your measurement might be a little off. Before you spend the money on these, I would suggest you try the lid of any regular mouth jar. If it fits, you should be good to go. I really do like the lids--used them for a baby shower and several people have asked to borrow them since.

No, you cannot screw a mason jar onto the base of the blender. I'm not sure that it would be a good idea. The base is hard plastic. I haven't looked at the motor but to my knowledge metal is an essential component to most, if not all, electrical motors.

Doubt it. Pretty sure they're too small. They're standard beer bottle caps...

I haven't tried to use them in this manner but, to be honest, I think that would be asking for trouble. These lids are tight, but not bulletproof. You should probably try to find something where the lid screws on tightly, rather than pushes down to form a seal. My opinion only.

Yes. You can use them this way. Standard-size lids are usable on any kind of standard-sized jar.

Yes they do but you have to use a drill and get the right size hole saw and drill a hole into the cap

I am not sure of the question...Just need a hole that is approximately 65 mm and they snap in nicely.

No..there is a slight indentation on one side of them..and I use a small screwdriver (though any straight, strong thing will work) to push in on the indentation and it opens up the cap. I have had to open them up at least 3 times and they still work. I do not see a place here where i can post a picture but on Youtube you might be able to find the answer to this.

That is a good question. I haven't tried that but if you have a stuck oil cap you could possibly put a shop rag over it and then use the pliers carefully (so not to damage the plastic cap with metal teeth). They do close tight enough...
88888
Yes. Just leverage the plastic cap with a knife or a sharp tool. Sorry, my english is not so good.

I never tried but having been a machinist before retirement, I seriously doubt it. I think that the drill "chips" would prevent the drill from cutting into them. And they may be to hard. But taking a better look at them, they seem to be crimped together, maybe filled with some magnetizing element. What the heck, if I wanted to drill a hole in them and they were mine, I would give it a try. L.

I suggest you read the description better and listen to the other answers. These are very small and precise bits not meant for drilling.

Yes they work with wide mouth mason jars. Just make sure you order the wide mouth version.

Yes, they will fit all regular mouth mason jars. I love these things and have bought four dozen so far. So much better than those ugly plastic lids. And as another said, they are not for sealing, however, can be used for more than just decorative. I grow and dehydrate lots of my own herbs or buy them in bulk, along with my spices, so I keep them in my kitchen cupboard in half to full pint canning jars and use these lids. It makes it all look nice and clean and easy to grab and use when I am cooking and baking

I used a 1/4" drill bit to make holes for these in my cabinets. Hope this helps

not necessarily but i did and several places i looked said to do so. it worked great for me. i cut them in like 1 to 1.5 inches. i am using my vanilla and love it. phyllis
