Reusable Gamma Seal Lid Converts buckets to air-tight containers Gamma Seal Lid Converts buckets to air-tight containers http://www.kk.org/cooltools/gamma_lids-sm.jpg This product turns an empty pail into a more useful item: a resealable pail that's strong enough for stacking and sitting. I started using the lids because I just wanted a seat for my fishing pail. It does more than that, though. Keeps everything inside nice and dry (like my camera). And when I'm done, it will seal up the fish I bring home with no fishy water getting out in my car. The lid has two parts: one snaps onto your pail and a gasket seals it tight. The second part is a removable screw in/out center piece also with a gasket for an air- and watertight seal. They fit 3.5 - 7-gallon pails. I happened upon them in the in the livestock section of my local Farm and Fleet store. So far, I have only used mine for fishing. However, I have purchased several more to use for storage around the house. Just need to get the pails. A local pool company sometimes throws out larger buckets, which I'm hoping to reuse. -- Dave Friese The Gamma Lid creates a useful object from trash and works with simplicity and perfection. A hammer and a bit of scrap wood can help secure the outer ring onto the rim of the bucket. After that, the inner disc-shaped lid threads neatly onto the outer ring, leaving you with a solid, easy-to-open, waterproof lid that can replace those pry-off tops that shred your fingertips. I have used these for about five years. At present, I store rice and bulk grains in them (a 20-lb. bag of rice fits nicely into a three-gallon bucket). I have also used them as a food bucket for a big wall climb in Yosemite and on river trips to store food. Stunningly simple and effective. -- John Godino Gamma Seal Lid $8 Available from Amazon $39 (six lids) Available from Pierce-Ohio Manufactured by Gamma Plastics Related items previously reviewed on Cool Tools: http://www.kk.org/cooltools/otterbox-sm2.jpg Otterbox http://www.kk.org/cooltools/plastic-storage-sm2.jpg Plastic Storage Containers

If you intend to store food, then the author gives bad advice here. If you are going to recycle, get them from a restaurant. You are guaranteed a FOOD GRADE plastic that has never stored chemicals. Also, if you are going new, get a FOOD GRADE plastic (not from a hardware store either). YES there IS a difference.
