"Another plus is one of my vinyl garbage cans fits neatly inside so I can just remove it on garbage pickup day.....Going to see if they can knock over the drum, if so I will secure top because they maybe will still be able to jar it off...So unless they use welders torches I figure my days of picking up shredded garbage is over."

Best Drum-and-pail Mixers
Forget the lid opener, stir stick, punching holes in the rim with a nail and hammer, paint pouring down the side of the can, and trying to bang the lid back onto a gummed up rim without deforming it. The auger-style mixing paddle lifts pigments from the bottom of the can, doing in seconds what would take minutes with a messy, wasteful stir stick.

"Once you put it into the paint/stain/whatever, you push the lid down and turn the four locks to seal, and boy does it seal tightly."
"I like the way I can mix the paint with out splashing paint all over then pour the correct amount of mixed paint into my paint bucket."
"A few turns of the handle mixes up the poly very well. It beats smashing and buckling the side of the paint can when putting the top back on."
"I like how there is no more spillage/wasted paint when using these but the paint that's usually wasted on a normal paint can lid when pouring is probably also wasted on this lid being stuck to all the surfaces."
"No more opening lids and pouring or scooping out material."
"I have tried snap on lids with spouts and the like, but no matter how careful I am, it makes a mess. I use a wet rag to wipe the little left on the spout, not enough to drip, but it keeps it clean."
"I don't think I would go through the hassle of taking them on and off each time I used them so if you plan on using a paint can one time then not again for a year or so, then I would just use the little plastic spouts for $2 a piece from the big box store."

"Plus I'm saving money by buying my propane in freezing temps and then heating it up because propane expands when it's heated."
"My propane tank hear blanket is doing the job quite well, even is this record breaking sub zero temps we have had this 2017/2018 winter in Indiana."
"This does not fit snuggly around a 5 gallon bucket."
"Good for dissolving crystallized honey."
"Keeps my mash at the set temp even at temperatures below 30 degrees."
"They work great!!"
"Both units just sat on 55-gal drums in side a climate controlled warehouse. As a comparison, rubber strap drum heaters (about $180) and metal drum straps (about $300) are operating right next to the Powerblankets. Plans to buy additional units are on hold now. We have used heat straps for 20years (rubber and the pricey metal units). These use a fraction of the electricity and heat a drum far faster. We heat drums of epoxy resins."

The Gamma Lid snapped onto the bucket relatively easy by using the heels of my hands, and my weight to persuade the ring to seat. I store yellow dent corn in a bucket with a red lid, black mustard seeds in one with a green lid, and red wheat in a blue topped container."
"The Gamma lid was already installed - when I've bought these before the lid was separate from the bucket and they are pretty tough to install."
"Been using my bucket for dog food for about 4 months, and it's holding up well."
"Definitely airtight, and has protected my cat food from a cockroach infestation for months."
"We purchased this to store our wood pellet grill pellets."

"Store my extra coffee in this and seems to work out well."
"lid seals great to keep unwanted material out of the buckets between washes."
