Take a seat mate. I can confirm the bucket is yellow, and it can hold water. :thumbsup:

...and the lid aint worth s***! My van is soaked. Good sized bucket, but for the price I would expect better, so if Ettore are watching;

The plastic seems flimsy, beef it up a bit.

It wouldn't take much to add a rubber gasket to the lid to make it water tight.

The clips on the lid seem like they will break in no time.

£10 would be a better price- £20-25 is a bit of a rip off at this quality.

Oh well you live and learn

Expensive way to find out though

Its not all bad mate, its fine now but if it lasts the winter I'll be impressed. Gotta be positive-I'm a 'bucket half full' kinda guy.

good review/info Tolish thought ettore would be better :sad:

 

[cheapncheerful]

i never had a bucket full of water for travelling ...and suddenly i decided i want one ...so anyone got a link to one with a non leaking lid please...why you ask...well....the more the force grabs me the more i am adapting and i dont carry much pure but i do want to have something to rinse my brush out occasionally...and yes at the mo i use outside taps but....that can contaminate somewhat so i now want to carry a bucket of pure just for swilling and removing cobby webs etc.../emoticons/biggrin.png
