Specifications
This 3 gallon open head steel pail features a rust inhibitor. Steel pails are ideal for storing and transporting a wide variety of items. This pail is constructed of cold rolled steel, which increases its strength and hardness and decreases ductility. Rust inhibitor prevents oxidation prior to filling and is not intended to act as a liner.

Key benefits:

  • Cold rolled steel creates a stronger, harder pail
  • Plastic handle grip for comfortable carrying
  • 29 gauge steel is lightweight for carrying
  • Rust inhibitor prevents the pail from rusting prior to being filled and is not intended to act as a lining
