6.5 Gallon Heavy Duty Screw Top Bucket with Red Lid - 90 Mil Thick Plastic for Food Storage, Paint Mixing & Construction Use

I am happy I bought this. After researching and reading a lot of reviews and finally settled on this bucket. I am so glad I did.This really is a great bucket. I use it to temporarily store compost in the garage, and the secure screw on lid makes sure it won't attract unwanted critters. The lid is even able to be opened with one hand, which I didn't expect with the lock and the size of it. This is perfect for what I needed.This did exactly what I needed to do. I needed to use the bucket as part of a canister fishtank filter I was making and I have had no leaks even when it's under some pressure. One thing that was odd was that the red child safety tab came off really easily. Not quite sure why, it doesn't affect what I needed it for but it is worth noting.Overall great product, preformed the job I needed from itI am a handy person but this bucket and its smaller sister I also have, are just so hard to open.why is there an extra red side "button or lever" to open the lid?that is the one component I don't understand and why its often stuck?Use it as a bait bucket and works amazing no leaks at all. Pretty sure clam has the same bucket in there bait bucket but this is 20$ cheaper. Took that red ratcheting thing off was more annoying that anything but it sure does keep that lid on tight.The little ratcheting lock breaks off after a few uses. Other than that it is a bucket.I bought this in two different sizes to store powder laundry soaps/additives. Store containers create all kinds of problems for me, as did pull off top pails that I tried. This one had one issue, a child foiling tab, important for many households, but a huge barrier for me; a friend popped it out, and now it's perfect. This is a manageable size, stacks, has an easy to remove/replace lid, sturdy handle, water proof seal even with the tab removed (no more hard lumps of laundry soap). My friend easily wrote on it with a permanent marker to make the contents identifiable. If I still had chickens, dogs or cats, I would buy the larger size to store their feed.
