🔧 Hudson Exchange Lid with Spout and Gasket: Ideal Addition for 3 Essential Material Handling Products Review

Probably a good lid if you know what bucket it fits in and have a factory press handy. Tried this lid on 3 different buckets, 2 from big stores, one from Ace. Neither of them would have latched on easily, even with the coaxing of a dead percussion hammer. I ended up getting this on one of the larger buckets by using solid woodworking clamps that crushed the bucket before the lid snapped shut. He's there, but I don't trust him at all and maybe one day I'll pick him up.

This lid is _very_ tight which is a feature as I use it for the corn syrup bucket in my kitchen and the risk of the lid breaking off if dropped is a major concern. The lid doesn't attach without *a rubber mallet*, and most reviews complaining that it's too tight are probably using the wrong tool. Carpenter's hammers don't work because they hit too hard and their striking face is too small (essentially an impedance mismatch problem).

I had a Sherwin Williams 5 gallon paint can (not sure why every 5 gallon paint can comes without a spout). I was able to pour the paint but it flowed out very slowly. When I needed a lid for another 5 gallon bucket of paint I had to use a tool to remove the lid and it was actually very difficult to remove. I had a 5 gallon bullseye primer that came with a cap which I unscrewed (to remove) and used a screw on the spout, it was much better.
