Wilson Ball Bucket

I am a roofer. I also do other trades. I keep my hand tools, Pouch, knee pads etc. In buckets. I normally buy the twist on (gamma) lids. 5 gallon buckets won't close with a real hammer. I bought this because stores no longer carry taller (6 or 7 gallon) buckets. I was agitated that I had to spend $20 on a bucket when 5 gallons are $4 at home depot. But the bucket came in today. It's more than tall enough to fit my framing hammer in it, a Vaughan framer. I haven't tested it out yet so I can't tell you toughness. Or longevity. But it's a bucket. Made like any other bucket. I have buckets I've been using for over ten years. The handle grips wear out/ break off. But buckets are pretty sturdy. The seat is nice I never thought of that. The lid does actually come off and on easy. So assuming it doesn't become too loose over time im sticking with the lid that came with it. Im going to buy another one or two for sure. One for each trade I do on the side. If the lid goes bad home depot sells the twist gamma style bucket lids for $8. I'll burn that bridge if and when I get there. Good bucket. Not mad I bought it. Gonna buy one or two more. Great for tradesman/ journeymen who bounce crews and just need to carry hand tools. Recommended. Bonus seat for break time.

it holds stuff so it does its job, a month later and its still holding up. Had to return the original I got because it was missing a lid but don't think that's Wilson's fault

Perfect for practice

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I’m happy with the buckets, but be aware the lids can come in cut/damaged. I know this can eventually happen over time. The lids were placed inside the bucket to ship. That caused the bucket to lose its original shape (it went back), and was harder to put the lid on at first. I recommend shipping it with the lid on.

Except for costing too much this bucket is GREAT!!!
