I've been through a slew of the modern plastic gas cans. Because of the heat that we get here, the seam splits at the top of the handle, and when you try to pour, it's a horrible, stinking, dangerous mess. A couple of years ago, I bought a Justrite brand 5gal can. I read a bunch of reviews and the Justright seemed to be better than the Eagle brand which are almost the same.
I bought one of these as a test. At the time I think they were $65-70. They are a few dollars more now, but about the same.
I wanted this version, but they became NLA
My local hardware store has one of the versions like I bought on the shelf with a dent. I would have bought it to support the local store, but I'm not going to pay $70 for a dented gas can. It wouldn't change the functionality other than a slightly reduced (a few ounces?) capacity, but it's the principle of paying a lot for a damaged gas can.
It was still sitting on the shelf, and I like the can, so today I took it to the register and asked if they could do anything about the price because of the dent. When the girl came back from the mgrs office, she said "is $15 ok". I said "Sure, that's great, thank you." My mind was spinning "did she mean $15 off or $15 total?!?" But I didn't ask, because I didn't want to jinx it. Holy carp, I just got a $70 gas can for $15!
Score!
