_What_ special tool? That was a "church key", one of which should have
always been handy, surely.

He's talking about the spouts with the built in opener.

In that case, what "special tool"?

I'd wager he meant the old cardboard can w/ the metal top...and I was
making a jest...

Oh! You mean the cardboard can that would collapse if the special tool
(funnel) wasn't carefully inserted into the metal top (G).

Before 16 cent bulk oil in a glass jar and screw on funnel...

I still have church keys!
