Is the top easy to get off? I have a heck of a time removing these 'new' types of tops. Thanks

I use set it on my tailgate. Press with both thumbs and seems to untwist fine. Bit awkward but would rather have that than leaks. Love the no spill gas cans

No the top is NOT easy to get off - If you have problems with your hands, like arthritis this may not be the gas can for you.

some have suggested cutting the ratchet strip off to make it easier to open, assuming you have no kids to keep it away from

It is difficult to remove the cap especially if you have tightened it firmly. I have actually used a large " channel- lock" wrench to start the removal of the cap. It is an inconvenience for me but I still feel this is the best gasoline dispenser available that I have found. I still give it a 5 star and would buy another one if my needs dictated.

Like an oversize aspirin bottle, you need to squeeze and twist at the same time - but the top is large and grippy, so *not* awful!

The are hard to get off the first time. There are little hooks that hold the top part in place. Hold on to the bottom piece with your left and pull up hard with your right .. it take a bit of strength to do it. Don't be afraid you'll break it. When you go to put it back on, check to see the hooks are lined up with the holes in the bottom piece then sharply chop downward with the side of your hand on the side of the top piece and it will click into place.

The top does come off. There are pins that are supposed to hold the top in place, but I had to physically bend them to about 30 degrees so that they would engage the locking mechanism. Compared to others that we bought, however, these are our favorites.

Oh goodness...I wish I could help. My husband got the top off with no problems. I was not watching him when he did it. But it does come off. Wish I could have been more help. It seems to be a very good filter, have had no problems at all.

Mine is snug and does not slid around. In fact taking the top off is a hassle.

I found mine was hard to get off too, but when I took a firm hold of the top and just pulled strongly on the head, it came directly off, straight up. You have to show it who's the boss. (smile)

I've never tried to remove it, but it is stuck on there pretty good. Sorry I'm not much help.

Yes, because it doesn't really screw on tight, so it has been easy for me to unscrew the top. It may be a little small for you if you have big hands, but I think it is worth a try.

The top is easy to get off. It has a Silicon Seal that holds it inside, not outside. It is not like the cheap plastic tops that "Pop" on and off, that shoot across the room when you finally get them off.Even after a week of vacation, when I come back to the office, the top is crusty from dried coffee, still no issues getting it off.

I must admit it's a pain to take it out. I'd advise you to limit the times to take it off. First, you can use your thumbs (2 thumbs) to push on the margin of the top, and then continue to do so for other edges. I hope this helps. :)

It's not difficult to remove at all. You just slide open the top cover and it slides right out! It's an excellent case. Hope that helps!

I've had no problems taking mine off...at first its a little tight but after the 3rd or 4th time its easy and fast.

There is a tiny slit on the top that you just pry open. No high tec opening. Just pull from that slit and the back will come off. I use my fingernail to get in it. Hope this helps

Sorry I have a hard top. I don't have any trouble getting the front panels off of the hard top even with the basket in place.

Yes, the top comes off easily. You can open the top or you can press down on a little part in the back hinge-area and take the entire lid off fairly easily.

hi dk, yes the top comes off very easy..there is a piece you just unscrew to take the bottom part off, that touches the lettuce. it goes back on just as easy. this is the best salad spinner i have ever used and am very happy with . hope this helps you out.

It's not easy to do lol, I ended up with a sharp tug and a quick pull and the rubber came off the case. It may take you a few minutes but yoyou should be able to get itit off.
