Product Description

Every house has at least one 5 gallon pail lying around that used to contain detergent, paint, etc. Why throw away a perfectly good bucket when you can turn it into genuine useable storage? Don't throw away those like-new laundry detergent buckets; put them to good use with Gamma Seal! The Gamma Seal lid permanently transforms your 12" diameter bucket into an airtight/leak proof storage container. Now a bucket can be used for hundreds of household and other storage applications! Simply snap the patented adapter onto your bucket and spin-on the removable lid. Specially engineered gaskets ensure that the lid and adapter are properly sealed to guarantee airtight protection. I have many of these at home and they keep things organized. I have one for cat food, one for my rock salt, one for lawn fertilizer, one for a diaper pail, one on the boat, and a few others. All you do is snap the adapter onto your pail, spin on the lid, and that's it. One quick spin and it's open, closes air/watertight in seconds! No more prying off those difficult lids. The Gamma Seal lid fits virtually any 3.5-7.0 gallon bucket (including 20 liter).

5.0 out of 5 stars These are GREAT!, January 6, 2007

I've been buying these for years directly from the industrial suppliers, and I'm delighted to find them through Amazon. Originally I started buying them for storing 5- and 7-gallon batches of ceramic glazes. The lids are terrific at keeping the liquids from evaporating, and they're easy to get off and on (unlike snap-on bucket lids). These have two pieces---the rim part is pushed down over the bucket rim. It takes some force to get it on and off, so it won't come off accidentally. The rim piece can be pulled off if the bucket needs to be replaced, and put onto a different bucket. As shown in the picture, the lid screws down into the rim piece. There's a replaceable rubber ring that fits around the base of the lid to seal air out.

Last year I had an invasion of pantry moths in my birdseed, so I started using these for storing my pet foods as well. This took care of the bug problem---no surprise, since this is one of the company's commercial applications.

Gamma's pet food containers are quite a bit more expensive than the lids alone. I decided, for the difference in price, I'd just replace my buckets when they get damaged.

My husband also uses a couple of buckets with these lids in the back of his work truck for storing small parts and tools. The screw-on lids don't come off if the buckets fall over, so they work very well for that, too.

The lids come in several colors, which I use for differentiating between glaze colors (matching rims and lids keeps the glazes from getting contaminated).

There is a small overhang on the inside of the rim section, so when I'm mixing glazes, I mix them in another bucket to keep ingredients from getting trapped and not mixing into the glaze.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finger saver!!!!, June 21, 2007

I use this item on my grain buckets (i mill my own grains to make bread products) & what a lifesaver! No more straining & bruising fingers or compromising an air-tight seal to save on work. If you're looking for these for something that you open & shut often, it is ABSOLUTELY worth the cost (i almost bought a pail opener instead of these).

We are using the lid for pet food and pet treat storage. We were looking for something that the dogs and cats couldn't get into, which meant a screw lid container. Well, you can buy screw lid containers for pet food storage, but they cost $30 plus for a decent size container. For only about $7, we converted a 5 gallon bucket we had around into a spill-proof and pet-proof container using this product. It's a genius idea and we love it.
