F3ck that monstrosity, f3ck it to the grave and beyond. Your Lowes guy will be the 2nd against the wall when then gas-can wars begin, just behind the designers of that spout. Spouts need to be a tube, with a cap, that you remove when you want to pour, with a vent on the tank that you open beforehand, if you want to. After pouring, close them both. Its not hard.
I found an E0 station on the way to the daughter's school- got her to buy 2 6 gal cans and fill them up there on the way home, which she did because she's that cool. My keyboard doesn't have enough graphic characters to describe how much I despise the nozzles on those Lowe's purchased gas cans. If I used the ones available my post would look like 80's vintage 300 baud BBS line noise.

I like mine. Not good for filling vehicles, great for small engines. Long term reliability yet to be determined, but while it works it works great.
If it's not broken don't fix it.
I'm not in such a hurry that I spill gas all over the place.
But when I do, I go all out!
I have a good friend who swears by the $25 type of can in the photo.
Then I showed how I fill my saws with my free to me can:
His response was: Oh.

I have been using one of those for ten years. Mixed fuel only for chainsaw, string trimmer, and blower. I do like it compared to the other designs being forced on us. The button stuck once, but I just forced it and it came unstuck.
I've been using that design for a LONG time now.
You don't even need to pay attention. It's designed sort of like a gas nozzle at the gas station. You insert nozzle into the tank, hold the button, and since the vent hole is in the nozzle, once the gas level reaches the fill nozzle, the vent is closed and the fuel stops flowing. Let go of the button and remove the nozzle. Done.
Longevity has been great. I've not had one fail yet. I have 4 or 5 of them now. Useless for filling vehicles or large tanks, but anything small engine they're best thing since sliced bread.

That's what I was told and exactly what I was looking for, thanks
The greatest part about no spill cans is reminding yourself to watch the video of Jill’s jugs
