Would you lend me A Type Keg Opener

[Dae Tripper]

Would anyone in the Singleton ish area have an A type keg opener they could lend me to open two kegs please?

Does it already have the little internal lug removed?
If they're being used as keggles, just use a stilson
if they're being kept, have you tried unscrewing it with the coupler?

They are still original, I got 3 and could only open one. The lids are on too tight for me, even made a dodgie tool that didnt work Was hoping to avoid bringing my stilsons home from work because I want to still use them as kegs
Just tried the coupler and didn't work

Ok, so I am pretty sure thse are the weird G type kegs. I managed to get one off but the other has a weird locking mechanism, has anyone had anything to do with this type before?

There's a little locking lug inside
You need to grip the centre part, lift and turn, the internals of the spear should drop down
However when I did this with mine, it mangled the fark out of it
I believe because breweries fill/clean without taking the spear out, this is either a security or safety feature
They wouldn't normally remove the spear, so wouldn't need to damage it, if they were removing it, it would be getting replaced

The center spear is dropped out already, can't twist the rest off because of this silly clip thingy

Hmmm, maybe flick MHB a message, he seems to know a bit about these couplers
