Handled Pot Gripper & Fuel Canister Recycle Tool
We have numerous pots and pan sets here at Muddy Towers, but there’s always one thing that they seem to lack, and that’s enough handles. Consequently when I’m using two pans, I often find myself faffing around disconnecting one handle and fixing it to another, in truth it’s a bit of a nuisance.
Thankfully, Wilderness 121 have sent us Outdoor Elements’ handy pot gripper, which also doubles up as a gas canister recycling tool.
Let’s start with the grippers...
Made from hard anodised aluminium, they’re lightweight, sturdy and comfortable to use, and able to safely lift and support up to 4.54kg - which is more than enough.
To stop them from scratching the surface of the pot, the pot grippers come with heat-resistant silicone tabs (1½” at their widest point), that provide grip as well as protection. I’ve used it numerous times now and there’s no sign of damage on any pots or pans.
The other useful part of this tool is as a fuel canister recycle tool...
Made from stainless-steel EN417, the tool safely releases any residual gas from small gas canisters, and then allows you to puncture the casing, making the canister ready for recycling.
Simply remove the cotter pin and pivot pin, screw them into the canister and release whatever gas remains, then press down on the handle to puncture the can.
A very useful addition is that the puncture point has a rubber cover to protect your hands while handling the gripper.
Despite lockdown I have managed to use the pot gripper several times, and not only is it comfortable and easy to use, being able to dispose of gas canisters safely is an added bonus.
