In this country the majority of kegs are either Guiness fitting or Heineken fittings

G are a pita to open (yet to see one openend non-destructively)

H are much easier to open if you have a little tool thats quite esay to make. You can then re-use nthem quite easily

Thanks will.
Seems easy to turn it open with a tool (I take it you've made one?) for the s type keg. any descriptions or photos?

Would still need to depress the ring each time to release the clips. but if you insert a 5 pence english coin in the top and connect the coupler you can pull them out seemingly save faffing around with screwdrivers like here..

more talking with an owner of s keg said once you get the spear out you can remove the clips for good as they.re just a anti theft device added recently.
