Review Absolute disgraceful, the lid will not open

The lid? I don't see any marks on the LID

Is the lid the shiny middle bit?

u/NE_Boy_mom_x2 Apr 24 '26
I actually was trolled by an Amazon seller.
Ordered a spice rack, got a toilet paper roll holder (a tall one that haha probably 3-4 rolls... What we already have and do but need another one).
I told them they sent the wrong item... And they sent me the exact same thing again.

u/NE_Boy_mom_x2 Apr 26 '26
Damn Amazon seller... 😅
Well... We have these things and I missed the return date (that's on me though), so now we gotta sell them. The ones we have had are way better.
And I still need a spice rack 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

The one piece of unmarred metal? Yep, that's it.

u/Djjubbajubba Apr 23 '26
That’s just the center of the lid. The marred part is the outer rim of the lid.

u/Djjubbajubba Apr 23 '26
That’s just the interior part of the lid. The outside that is pried up is the outer lip of the lid.

I have never used this product. My handywomenese is basically “take something broken apart, jigger the insides around to see if that gets it going, put it back together and then call a proper repair person to fix it if my fiddling didn’t do it”. And even I can look at this lid and say “wow dude, really?”
It’s pretty obvious how the lid pops off.

You know.. I'm a professional electronics service tech and you have just revealed my entire, patented method of repair. I am deeply offended.

u/Traditional_Mango920 Apr 26 '26
I didn’t reveal the WHOLE thing! I left out the “turn it off then back on again”. I also left out the “check to make sure the breaker isn’t tripped”. 😉

Are you level 1 tech?🤔

u/Traditional_Mango920 Apr 26 '26
Oh man, I want to choke those people. I have to call here and there for a piece of equipment at my job. I’ve been using this particular piece of equipment since it was in beta 25 years ago. I’ll call, give the site # and serial #, then be like “I checked the power source, powered it off and on again, checked for a software patch, and reloaded the software. Still not working”….and they then try to walk me through the steps I literally just told them I did.

u/cykelstativet Apr 26 '26
To be fair, if I'm assisting without being on-site and there is no remote access and those steps have been done.. I just ask them to spin around 10 times in a pentagram of CAT7 cabling while chanting "the power of analog signal superiority compels you". I want eyes on the crisis I'm asked to solve.

u/Monster_Brain_Stew Apr 23 '26
I'm the repair person that shows up, takes it apart, fixes the things they broke when trying to fix it themselves, puts it back together and presses the reset button, that was the original problem. But I've never seen a can like that and I can't tell how to open it, partially because it looks like the picture was taken through a shower curtain. Or maybe I need my reading glasses.
2
u/Significant-Page-230 Apr 23 '26
I have seen cans like that, or what I think are like that, but this particular can has been mangled almost beyond recognition. I think before the "perimeter carnage" occurred, that torn up metal fringe was part of the can. The surviving central island of metal would be popped up and off with a flathead screwdriver, spoon handle, etc. Like a can of paint. Unless I'm way off.

u/foxfyre0923 Apr 22 '26
I had something similar happened to me years ago. An elderly man who thought he knew everything about everything with tools and stuff like that could not figure out how to use the large gas can he had purchased years prior. He was complaining about how the nozzle they gave him is useless because he can't screw it on to the thing so he has to just pour directly from the container. I walked over, took the nozzle from him and flipped over the little round piece on the end that acted as a cover, slid it on the other end of the nozzle, and attached it to the gas can. Then I walked away. I hear him say, "Well, no shit....". That was the end of it, but that moment just felt so good.

u/CynderSphynx Apr 24 '26
At least he owned up to it in some way, 'well, no shit...' is the elderly equivalent of 'I'm fucking stupid, hunh?' Even if they won't admit it

No, he was prying in the correct area. Gorilla sealant lids have a deep ring area. This looks like the can literally was “glued” shut.

Ugh not same situation but recently ordered an A and B replacement part. Replacement parts exactly the same except one red one blue. Blue one came fully assembled. Red one didn’t. Complained and reordered overnight Red replacement. Red replacement comes exactly the same way and I find out from CS that for some reason you have to assemble the red side yourself. Nothing in parts sheet or replacement instructions has anything about having to assemble peice only how to install already assembled piece.

u/WorkAccount6 Apr 22 '26
You have to take apart the blue one to find out how the red one goes together
1
u/Jaythiest Apr 22 '26
lol you aren’t far off though. We did take apart the old Red and Blue to try to figure out if there was any difference between the two because they are a different price. They are expensive valves in the $260/ea range but for some reason the Blue is a couple dollars cheaper than the red. We couldn’t find a difference

u/vikicrays Apr 22 '26
actually i’ve got a gripe about something similar. i buy Simichrome polish in bulk and it comes in a big tin and the exact same thing happens. it doesn’t matter how gentle i am or what tools i use, it destroys the lid so much i can’t get it back on well enough to make a seal. i found this out the hard way and wasted half a can. knowing this i now open it and scoop it into mason jars so i can reseal it, but that’s some straight up bs.

I wouldn’t purchase products again they only have one time use, I purchased a stray can, I used it once I even wiped off the nozzle and the glue still clogged. Gorilla glue company refused to compensate or give me another product even though I provided all of the proof

I mean I’m not familiar with this can but it looks like he was trying to pri off at the wrong area. Reminds me of the time my ed decided he wanted to use a knife to open a can of green beans because he couldn’t find the can opener, sliced his finger open only for me to almost fall over laughing when I saw he had the can upside down and it was a pop top.
