Hyper Tough 5 Gallon Heavy Duty Plastic Material Bucket Tote, Black, Adult

This an interesting take on the seen-and-used-everywhere-for-everything ubiquitous 5 gallon bucket.Instead of traditional 5 gallon shape, it is approx. 12x12x12 inches (1 cubic foot) which in liquid form, is 5 gallons. Much shorter than a 5 gallon bucket, it can hold the same amount in a smaller space. If you have lots of material, the lid that comes with the bucket allows them to be stacked one atop another. This DOES eliminate one of the hugest problems with 5 gallon buckets. If you stack them into one another, good luck trying to pry them apart!! Between the tight fit, the suction created between buckets and any crud you have on the outside, you may never get them apart! Having a nice lid and abilty to stack solves this problem. You can probably stack them inside one another, but since I only have one, I cannot test this out. Very sturdily made, possibly 90 mil plastic. Most 5 gal buckets are 60 mil, which is usually adequate. Price! This bucket cost twice as much as the popular Homer Home Depot bucket which I just checked is $3.98, so something to consider.

I need a tote at least 13" high and narrow with a handle - needle in the haystack and then I thought oh a bucket! Then I found this square one which is exactly what I need. The lid is secure but pops off easily on one side, but it does the trick at what I need. And if you have less in the bucket, you're probably fine. It's sturdy yet light and the value is great at its price point.
