Worked as a kid in NJ pumping gas in the 70's. Know that well. Those big, poorly made V8's in the 70's drank oil like we drank KoolAid in the summertime
Know what it is, not sure I could use one though.
I can use this kind however;

As we were going through the house after my dad passed, my son found one of those, and he had no idea what it was. He made me use it to prove it was what I said it was, and that it could do what I said it could do. The look on his face was priceless ?
I wonder if that's as unknown as the pic I posted. I recall using that thing on many a can of Rislone when helping my dad out.
Dick vault?That’s so the mrs. can pee off the side of the boat when the water is too cold, right?
I’m in my 40s and been around old cars a lot my entire life and I had no idea what that was.
I carried one in my scout pack for many years.

Brings to mind another blast from the past, and an odd pairing. In my youth, there was this guy, Dick Bacon. Couldn't make this up if you tried! The linked story gives an idea of the humor behind the name, tied to how he looked (like an old tanned wrinkled piece of bacon), as well as the juvenile humor that guys never really lose!
Remembering Dick Bacon, Milwaukee's Man With The Tan
Summer is the favorite time of year for most beach-goers. But Milwaukee once was home to a unique fellow who tanned year-round at the lakefront. Our…www.wuwm.com
I remember we were headed down for some Christmas thing, looking at lights or whatnot, and there that guy was, middle of December, tanning at the beach. One of the most personable people I can ever remember meeting. It was ridiculous how well-attended his funeral was.
Worked with Richard Suchter on a project once.I worked with a couple of interesting Dick's in the past. Both worked at IBM. The first guy's name was Dick Studly, worked in CAD design in the early 80's. The other guy was Dick Payne, good friend of my Father's and a good sailor. With names like that, you remember Dick.
