Back 1000 years ago (it seems like it) at my Dad and Grandfather's service station we used a heavy duty large funnel with a built in can opener for fast oil changes. All oil for cars came in metal 1 quart cans at the time. You put the funnel in the engine's valve cover oil hole, jam the first oil can in, check the belts, jam second oil can in, check battery electrolyte levels (or the blue eye, later) and coolant, jam third oil can in, check air filter and heater hoses, jam fourth oil can in, clean windshield. Check oil level. All done in 8 min or less. (assuming you remembered to put the drain plug back in before adding the new oil) Through the power of Goog L I found a pic of one of these now-antique funnels, showing the opener inside it, the pic is attached.Anyway, the thought - if you made a miniature version of that funnel, you could hold it in your mouth and jam the tiny beer cans into it to open them! (hope the shop elves aren't reading this)
One of the prettiest girls in my village had a summer job at the corner store/post office/gas station manning the gas pump. I had a 1952 Chev car and always went there to buy my gas (and to see the pretty girl).

That's a nice method with the inserted shoulder screw thread. Crankshaft and associated parts look happy in their new home.
