Review on 🪣 Encore 5166 Mix 'N Measure Ringfree Plastic Pail, 5-Quart - Wire Handle Included by Rich Fiedler

Okay so I'm not using this bucket for its intended purpose. We have a Hobie tandem kayak with 8" twist and seal round hatches in the deck. This bucket is the perfect size to fit in the rim of the manhole rim. I simply removed the handle, cut off the plastic buttons holding the handle, and cut a 1 inch semi-circle out of the rim for the latch to fit through. Hobie charges $25.69 for its 5-inch gear bucket. This bucket doesn't have a snap-on lid like Hobie's, but it's been known not to fit properly anyway. So I get a deeper gear bucket that keeps my stuff from rolling into the $2.47 kayak. While it's not waterproof on its own, as long as I have the watertight sunroof closed I don't mind. I'm sure it would be great as a paint bucket/faucet too, with all the graduated markings on the side, but I'm pleased with the alternative uses I've found for it.
