5.0 out of 5 stars makes getting to stored items easy, March 2, 2010

This is a great product. I wish I had bought some sooner. The ring "snaps" on to the top of a 5 gallon bucket with the help of a rubber mallet. Thats the most difficult part. Place the bucket on a concrete floor as you need to strike hard to seat the ring. Don't worry it won't break. After that you can fill the bucket and screw on the lid. You now have an excellent water proof and air tight storage container. Fill it with dry goods for pest proof storage in a basement or anything you want to keep dry on a boat or camping trip. The best part is you can get at the contents without a lid lifter or hurting your fingers, just unscrew the lid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for food storage., November 23, 2010

I purchased these to store some dried beans from our garden. I was originally skeptical that one could turn regular buckets into a sealed container. We have always had trouble with "little friends" getting into our storage which is why we have not generally tried to store our excess - however we had such a good year we decided to try again. I tested them for leaks with water and even overpressure with an air compressor. If you seat the seals carefully and tap them home with a rubber mallet, they are great. I would also suggest a little Vaseline on the seals to insure they don't dry out and make good contact. If you don't go crazy you will not contaminate your storage and it will not go rancid like veg. oil will.

Tips, place the bucket on a hard surface. Clean the buckets first in and if you can, steam sterilize them. Wash the Gamma Seals at the same time. Start on one side with someone holding the other side down so it does not pop back on you as you hammer. Firmly drive the rim down but don't try to pound it down like a nail. Firm not hard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps bugs out!, July 11, 2010

Half of my five gallon food storage buckets had these lids, half did not. The ones that did not have gamma sealed lids (beans, lentils, corn meal) were infested by bugs! The ones with gamma sealed lids; white sugar, flour, oatmeal and brown sugar, kept the bugs out!!! The lids are amazingly easy to open whenever I needed to bake, while still staying sealed fresh. I'm buying more!
