Default A "Cats meow" tool!
This has probably been on the market for a while but it's the first time I've seen one on the shelf so I grabbed it. Where has this been all my life?! It's a pistol grip for a rattle can. The front dome is actually a pair of pincer grips that grab the ring on the top of the can. You make sure the nozzle is pointed straight ahead then all you have to do is squeeze the grip and it works just like you had a paint sprayer gun. Love it!

I’ve had one for several years. I use it every time I spray paint. It helps keep my fingers and hand from cramping.

Hell we had them in the 1960's
Prolly been around longer than that.
Long before screw on beer caps,then pop tops,
and oil came in a can
That you had to pierce with pour spout.
Course us poor kids just stabbed them with a screwdriver
Or a "church key"

Really, you had one of these pistol grip attachment designed to clip around the ring on the top of the can back in the 60's? Funny I don't remember seeing one and I've been doing this since the 50's.

If you shake it a lot while using it the can will tend to rotate and then the nozzle will be pointing the wrong way so keep checking after shaking.

I have a powered can shaker so no hand shaking necessary. With these spring loaded pincers, unlike earlier snap-on handles, the can handle is gripped on pretty tight.

Yep, my hi skool buddy painted his '53 ford a baby blue color after a lot of body filler & window screen was added.
turned out pretty good for what it was.
Seems like he bought a case of 12 cans and the spray handle was free from the hardware store.

Hell one time we bought a case of Dynamite from the same hwd. store.
We took it to his parents cottage and loosened a lot of stumps so they could be grubbed out easier.
Try that today, them gubberment boys/tree huggers would have you locked up IF you could even buy the Dynamite.
Good memories for sure.

We made our own by cutting the black dots from rolls of caps. Great for homemade cannons.

Yup, this one here. I had them, but they broke easy.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
