Dover Parkersburg 4Qt Metal Water Bucket

These little 4 quart galvanized pails are okay. They are made in Mexico and the quality is fair. The main quality problem is the finish of the zinc dip. There were several runs and other minor issues.We use them for outdoor planters for potted plants so these will work fine.The biggest problem was the two or three large labels stuck to the outside of the buckets. The labels said "Use for intended purpose only." I guess they mean don't wear them on your head as a hat. Don't sit on them and don't cook in them. But the labels were in multiple languages. Okay!Have you ever tried to remove a label off galvanized metal? After pealing, scraping and using Xylene for an hour or two, most of the sticky residue came off. I don't know about you, but I really don't have a couple of hours to remove gummy residue from a $10 bucket. (update: Now I heat the labels with my heat gun, peal them right off and then remove the residue with mineral spirits. Much faster, but I still shouldn't have to do this.)None of this is Amazon's fault. But all companies buying products should insist that any labels be easy to remove. What a pain. The imported items are the worst. China, Mexico, India and other countries apparently only have one type of permanent super sticky glue for labels.Amazon shipped the 5 4qt buckets and 3 2qt buckets that I ordered in two separate shipments. The first one came in a giant box with each of four buckets spaced equi-distance apart. The second shipment came in a small box with the four buckets stacked one inside of the other. Maybe the first batch was shipped by a new employee.These are okay buckets of fair quality and should work as planters after spending considerable labor to remove the sticky goo from the sides.I'm not sure why they didn't put the labels on the bottom of the buckets. That's what they did on the 2qt ones. I guess 4qt pails have all that appealing open space around the middle.

The bucket does not have leaks.It does have a chrome finish that comes out with the water, turning the water to a gray color!Since I bought it as a water bucket for my dogs, it does not fulfill its purpose.

Great LITTLE bucket, however, the stickers won’t come off, and there is a price tag on it for $6.99. Why did I pay $15.00

Purchased two of the Dover Parkersburg 4Qt Metal Water Buckets and really, really like them. They are used daily for measuring feed for my two horses. Should give me years of service.

I needed some new buckets, these buckets from Dover Parkersburg looked like they would be exactly what I wanted. They were almost perfect for what I needed, buckets. The manufacturer delivered on time and at the agreed upon price.(39 words)

this is what i needed

Great for our big oyster roast...the only problem was that I could not get the big stickers off of them, but excellent value!

Great quality. I highly recommend it.
