The highly versatile Dover Parkerburg 610 2- Gallon Galvanized Metal Water Bucket was recommended to me by my neighbor Jim Anchower. Jim is something of an amateur consumer products testing buff and assured me that when it came to galvanized buckets the Dover Parkersburg reigns supreme! Jim had previously turned me on to the the Swiffer WetJet Mop Total Cleaning System and the Hoover Quik-Broom S2561 so I knew he wouldn't [mess] around when it came to my metal bucket needs.
At first glance the Dover Parkerburg 610 is clearly a step above the competition, the smooth galvanized exterior is indicative of the more modern electrocoat process which produces much less surface bubbling and insures a uniform surface. Jagged Edges? Not on this baby! Also of note are the two horizontal ripples which are placed 6 inches from the base. A simple structural analysis and crush test showed the slight corragative additions to be more than simple decorations, they actually produce an increase in tensile strength of 35.8% when compared to smooth walled galvanized buckets of the same carrying capacity.
Although I have used the Dover Parkerburg less since installing our new fangled "Water Closet", I display it with pride, knowing that I own the best 2 gallon galvanized bucket in town.

Being an afficianado and collector of buckets, I was ecstatic when I came across this 2 Gallon Galvanized wonder. It's beauty and wonder cannot be overstated. It is quite simply the Mercedes-Benz of buckets, if I may say. I ordered this amazing product and the days spent waiting for it were probably the longest of my life. When it finally arrived, I eagerly ripped open the box and tore off the paper covering the Dover Parkersburg 610. All the packaging wasn't even necessary, because this bucket folks, hold on to your hats, is made of METAL! That's right, 100% metal. As advertised, it is quite capable of holding water, but that moniker is far too restrictive. This versatile container can hold equal amounts of *any* liquid you can think of. To test it's claim that it holds two gallons, I went out and bought two gallons of buttermilk from my local dairy vendor. I poured both gallons of creamy goodness inside the 610, and to my surprise, it held both gallons! Then, of course, I faced the problem of having to drink two gallons of buttermilk. Long story short, the 610 was able to handle the resulting two gallons of vomit! Days later, when I got out of the hospital, cleaning the 610 was no problem. The galvanized surface made cleanup a snap. I have found countless other uses for this versatile bucket since then. Highly recommended!

I am a decorative painter and this is a great surface for painting on. Not only can you use it as a bucket for all your "bucket needs", it is also sturdy, well constructed and it makes a wonderful canvas for those of us who love to paint on metal.
This bucket is great for decorative painters. You can use it for clean and/or dirty paint water and you can also display your artistic talents on the outside of this bucket. Also use it for carrying your painting supplies to and from class. You can fill it with ice to store your painter's drinks and snacks too.

We use this to hold the pie irons that are hot when we take them out of the fire. We haven't put water in it, so I don't know if it leaks, but its built well. Read more

This bucket does not hold water
Luckily I did not buy this bucket to hold water, however if you are buying this as a water bucket look elsewhere.
