That instantly brought me back to when I used to change my own oil. Craftsman made the tool, I have another larger one with a red handle and a longer wider strap somewhere in one of my tool boxes, but you get the idea. 8 1/2 years I haven't succumed to that demise, I spin the top to close but always remember by habit now to back off the cap to a touch. Then again my settings are generally a 1/4 to 1/2 turn at the final setting when closing so I'm not going far to that touch.
