If only the cap was a little easier to unscrew the cap, but
just tried the crescent wrench... worked good!

Isn't that the truth... I try to be careful not to
overtighten the cap but it still gets a fearsome grip.
Running hot water over it works, as does passing it over to
the husband.

Someone suggested rubbing a little olive oil on the cap and
mouth threads, sorta like dabbing a little oil on the oil
filter when installing it. This trick works for
me.

I use a good ol' American made pair of Channel-Lock
pliers, with the slightly long handles. Provides excellent
leverage 🙂

I hate the new Omega bladders. I can never get the friggin
things open when I want to put water in there.

I just realized a disadvantage to switching to disc brakes.
My hands won't be as strong! Maybe that's why I never had
problems with my omega bladder. Nuts!
