3.5-Gallon White Bucket Pail Container with Lid | Food Grade | Heavy-Duty Approx 90 MIL Extra Durable | Metal Handles with Plastic Grip | Multi-Use | Easy Stack and Store | BPA Free - 5 Pack

Great tight lids 5gal buckets & is food grade appropriate.You can store all kinds different things in them and they are great quality.They are strong and i really like them easy to stack and save room..

I purchased the pails to store water in case of an electrical outage, That way I can flush toilets or wash dishes or my hands in the sink. They are very clean and good for the purpose I bought them.

The lids don't fit the buckets so easily. I first tried pressing them down with my hand in a circular pattern. Then I used a piece of 2x4 wood to press against the lid and I hit that firmly with the hammer. It still did not seat on the buckets. Then I tapped on the lid directly with the hammer and it still did not seat and seal. So then I started to write a very negative review. And I stomped on the bucket and then I got the part where I stopped to seat tightly. So then with my foot I stopped in some other places rather hard and it seemed to seat. So then I got a hammer and really whacked it hard in the remaining places and now the lid is sealed. My only regret now is I didn't put an oxygen absorber inside with the grain. I would recommend using a rubber mallet because the metal Hammer I used could bust the plastic. But I did get the lid to finally close tightly. The only way to remove the lid now I think is to tear the plastic perforated tear off tabs. But I think I have a good seal. Just an unexpected couple of glitches trying to get the lid to attach.

The only reason I’m not giving this bucket 6 stars is because I can’t. But even if I could, I wouldn’t. 5 stars. The seller is misleading in the description and name of this product. To call it a “bucket” is like calling the Mona Lisa “painting”. When I first realized I needed a bucket, I realized I could easily just go to Lowe’s or other type home improvement store and buy one for less than $5. All I needed was a simple plastic bucket. Capable of safely and securely holding 4 gallons of water. This one holds FIVE! I didn’t even need it to be plastic. While it was preferred, I didn’t need anything fancy. I didn’t need to get up that moment and drive to the store and buy one so I ordered it and expected maybe 2 or 3 days because of such a plain and readily available thing. When I got a “delivery delayed” notice, I was a little surprised. But since there was no pressing need for its presence, I wasn’t upset. It finally arrived. At last. Now I can change the water in my fish tank. As I begin the process, I open the perfectly packaged box. As I’m lifting the cardboard flaps of the box, one by one. Slowly revealing and liberating my new tool. Before I fully lifted the last two flaps, I could see that some portions of the “bucket” were visible. What I could see was the lid, the handle, and the top portion. Immediately I knew why the delay. Its uses are endless. They don’t stop with safely and securely holding water. And upon closer inspection, I believe the buckets main body and lid aren’t made of just plain simple plastic. This is some space aged ‘ish. It’s perfect. And the precision of the injection mold was exact! Zero excess space plastic around the edges. Chefs kiss! And the metal they used in the handle…. I had my cousin at the university run tests on its composition in his metallurgy lab. Results inconclusive. 1% recognizable metals only found in asteroids. The other 99% “UNKNOWN”!!! Ademantium? Mithril? Who knows. A mystery for now. Anyway. 5 stars because the name and description don’t do it justice. If I had known what I know now, I would have ordered more. Now, I don’t think I’ll ever need to buy another 5 gallon Swiss army bucket again during the rest of my life. Great gift idea though. Hope this helps.

its a food grade bucket. its solid, lid is hard to get open tbh

Heavy duty. Tight lids

They charged me TWICE the price of the bucket just for shipping and handling. I ended up paying over $30 for one simple, plastic, 5 gallon bucket that’s not worth half that to begin with. I only ordered it because I was ordering some other things and it seemed more convenient than a separate trip to the store. Turns out it absolutely was Not worth it. What a racket, I will never buy from them again! Just go to your local hardware store.

I’m using these for container planting of tomatoes. Comes with lids which o don’t need but will find a use for them.
