Looking for suggestions on making a tool with similar functionality as this:
https://morebeer.com/view_product/7543
I've watched the videos and have successfully removed several spears but I have one that is very stubborn. The end of the o-ring is right between the 2 notches and there is no room to wedge a screwdriver to get it started. I'm told this keg has been sitting in the open in someones backyard for a couple years and looking at it's condition, I can believe it. I think if I can push down the whole valve assembly I would have better luck.
I'm planning to use them as a fermenter eventually so making a tool similar to the above for assembly and disassembly would save a lot of work. Most of my ideas for a tool are close to Rube Goldberg and standing in Home Depot hasn't helped with generating ideas.
Any thoughts?
