There has not been a good gas can made since Blitz went out of business. I still have 2 jerry cans that are about 40 years old, they are solid and still work great
Surecan has been my go to for about 10 years when they first hit the market. I've never wished I could find something better. Get one! There's no competitor even close. I broke the hose off mine and just capped the elbow with a 1/2" pvc cap and it still works perfectly.
I ordered three of these cans a couple of years ago. They have been Great for me to use while camping in the mountains. I set a can on a small fold-up camp table next to the gas tank spout for my toy- Hauler for the generator and to fill up my Polaris razor with the fuel pump built into the trailer. It's been very easy for that type of filling and it's much easier then holding the can while pouring fuel in where it's needed. They still work great with only one small problem with the cap on the top of one can wanting to "pop" off while filling the can at the fuel station. The round ball on the cap pops loose if i don't pay close attention to it while filling. Otherwise they've been GREAT. I ordered them online from the company, i believe, and they were $60 bucks each so the price is more expensive than a "traditional " can but is much easier to use for me. 👍🇺🇸
@DownSouth_Adventures Yep. I really enjoy these tanks mainly for the fact I don't have to "hold on " to them through the filling up process of the equipment/ toys while camping. 👍🇺🇸
I bought one of those battery powered pumps to pump gas in my tractor and it works great. No more lifting that heavy gas can up onto the hood of the tractor.
The best gas can is a old Gain laundry detergent jug, built in pour spout that works great, cap to measure 2 stroke oil, one hand opration, and if you run over it.. dig through the trash and get another one.
I just came back from a camping trip using a Wavian steel gas can. I can't get over how well built it is and how easily it pours the gas! I even gave away two Rotopax cans! I've had many different types of plastic gas cans, including "racing" 5 gallon jugs. I'll never go back to plastic again.
I got one of these yrs ago, now I can't see myself using any other. The ease of use and pour into a motorcycle, car or lawnmower is so mind-blowing easy. It makes you wonder why someone didn't invent this thing earlier. My ONLY complaint is how expensive they are but trust me, well worth it! I have 2 personally, one for the cars 5gal and one for the lawnmower 2gal.
Let me just say, I bought this by mistake a few years ago because I used to use “No-Spill” brand cans and I loved them. Grabbed this at my local rental shop and damn these things are fantastic! They are and will be the cans I buy from here out. Ive started to replace my “other cans” with these because eventually the “other cans” outer layer splits and separates from the interior liner. I own two mowing companies and you can imagine I have a bunch of cans. And when you go through the DOT check points they inspect your cans and fine you if it starts to separate. I’ve had no issues with these cans at all. I know they’re a little salty but they last forever and save you money in the long run. My guys aren’t easy on things. They get tossed around, they forget to close the tailgates, I’ve seen them thrown from truck to fuel pumps (not happy bout that) but these things don’t care, they’re tough as hell. I have a few women that work for me and they can sit them on the zero turn mower seats or tractor hoods and not have to hold them while fueling. If SureCan is looking to sponsor someone who will show people what they go through and survive just drop me a line.
Absolutely I get so sick of these old timers in the comments talking about how they are trash and will fail…….How about they buy one first and then come back and tell me that lol! Thanks for watching buddy
Years ago Rubber Made had a triangle shaped container that was easy to carry and pour and would not tip over when in transit.. I have8 and will ever let them go!
@@zarroth Did you pass on buying a vehicle and walk every where you go because the vehicle might break down in the future? Or did you buy the vehicle? For your info, a friend of mine had a gas can like that, it was a few years old and it didn't leak and if you're wondering why I said had, it's because he pass away.
@@theweldor757 Hey sorry no offense taken lol sometimes when I am answering a lot of comments daily I come off like a dick. I'm recovering from surgery so I am sorry I sounded rude
@@DownSouth_Adventuressending good vibes for recovery ! Hoping my girlfriend gets outta the hospital taday my self . Round 3 breast cancer . Stage 4 . Tumors on inside a skull . Membrane around brain is full a cancer . Livers full a cancer . And its spread to both lungs now 😢 Hope your recovery goes good !
I use a big funnel to put gas in my generators instead of those hard to use spouts. I take off the spouts that come with cans and only use the cap part to close the can.
I bought one of the 5 gallon SurCans and I'm getting ready to get rid of all of my old 5 gallon cans and replace them with the Surcans. These cans are so easy to use.
So yeah...I've had the 5gal for several years & highly recommend !! someone mentioned worrying about the rotating spout leaking at the bottom. Look, this can has been well thought out, engineered and constructed to high standards...I have no doubt mine will last a lifetime or till someone uses it for target practice 🤣
Absolutely it kills me to see these negative comments from people who have NEVER even touched the damn can, but that’s the Internet for you everyone is an expert! Our wife has been using this Canfor all of the yardwork for the last month since I injured my spine and she absolutely loves how easy it is to use.
I’m in hurricane country. As I write this one is in the Gulf. Been reading and watching reviews off and on for a week. Thanks for helping me decide! I’ve subscribed, looking forward to seeing what else I can learn from you.
May I add that if you get flooded in the area think of the sure can as a floatation device. Just make sure air vents are closed but check the plastic for leaks and missing O rings before you leave home.
Looks like a good quality fuelcell. I just placed an order for the 5gal from the SureCan website and was glad to receive an $11 discount with there Memorial day promo code. Thanks for the review vid, hope your back surgery procedure go's well. 👍
They're definitely not something that's new I've had a 5 gallon gas 5 gallon yellow diesel and a 5 gallon blue kerosene cans for over 2 years I purchased them at my local fleet farm store definitely a great product for anybody that's worried about the spout leaking because it's on the bottom of the jug I haven't had any trouble One thing I don't like about them know is their spring loaded filler cap when I fill them I just unscrew the cap off of it it's much easier to do I would definitely recommend them to anybody that is looking for a gas jug or diesel jug or kerosene jug by far the best on the market
How does it vent while your pouring? The vent on the rear of the old jug does that. But it looks like you would have hold open the lid of the filler for venting. So now you need two hands just to get gas pouring efficiently. If you need to hold the jug at the same time, your SOL. I don't like the old jugs anymore than anyone else but I'm not convinced this is better.
The vent continuously vents so there’s no need to ever burp the can. You clearly see me using only one hand to pour gas and honestly for the past four weeks we’ve been able to pour gas with just two fingers. This can is an absolute dream to use.
@@DownSouth_Adventures I can see that the vent vents outward but what about inward when you're pouring? It looks like the flap over the vent might seal from the inward pressure and you would either have slow pours with it having to take in air through the spout or you would have to hold open the flap.
It is still our favorite purchase of the summer because my wife is doing ALL of the yard work because of my spine surgery. She’s able to sit the can on the hood or in the seat and fill everything up easily!
Needed a new can a few years ago or whenever these stupid new safety cans came out. Thought I was doing something wrong or the spout was broke. Looked at that piece of crap for a minute thinking of course I picked the one of 50 sitting in a pile with a broken spout. Anyways, nice to see somebody still makes proper gas cans right here
Nice design, I get 4 gallons at the fuel pump. Makes it lighter for me. Try using Bounce dryer sheets in your shed, under your hood, use them for a rage to wipe down your wiring harness and hoses, seat and steering wheel. Scrunch a couple up and stick them in corners, under the rug, in your engine compartment. Keep the mice away.
I seen metal gas cans that lasted decades. I wonder how long this beast will hold up??? The only problem i see is changing out some of the moving plastic parts due to wear and tear, but time will tell.
I had 2 oh the first ones that were out and both spouts broke cheep plastic and I ordered new spouts replaced them but then they leaked even put new gaskets on got rid of them both if you want advice don’t move the spout too much can be snap or leak
Luckily there’s over 300 comments of folks who have used these for 5-7 years so I’ll take my chances…BUT if it lasts 2 years the ease of use is worth the price.
Hey brother, don’t have back surgery warning. It’s going to make you worse. Just lose a little weight go to the chiropractor. And do a lot of stretching. and work on your core at the gym or at home. Praying for you, brother great video by the way too.
Hey John I was a personal trainer for years and my wife still is. Unfortunately my issues can’t be fixed with chiropractic or the gym. I’ve already had my spinal fusion and can feel my feet and wiggle my toes which I haven’t been able to do for 10 years
Good video. I have this can. And it is better than others. But actually, these plastic cans are not approved gas cans. They are actually not safe. We can’t use these in a workplace environment as they are not even OSHA approved. (Look it up) The good thing about that is we have to use the metal gas cans. And yes, they still make those good ol metal cans are grandfather used. They are great cans with good spouts. And they are approved to store gas. I would recommend looking at the old metal ones. They really are much better. And much safer. Which is important. I am in the emergency responder field and I cant tell you how many garage fires every year are caused by cheap plastic gas cans…. 1000’s.
Thanks I’m definitely not someone who cares about OSHA standards because I wish there were less restrictions on everything but with this one self burping I feel safe enough to
@@DownSouth_Adventures and I agree with you. About the too many regs…. But I have to say. Being a Paramedic, and having to treat the way to many severe burn patients, (burn injuries are THE WORST)…. In this case, these regs are warranted. Much better to have a good gas container and save your self, or your garage or house, then feel “safe enough”. But, just keep it in mind. Are you willing to risk it not work, or get an approved gas can. That works great by the way. Like I said. I have this exact can. I store my gas in a metal can and use this to fill up my equipment. I Use it as a secondary container.
The Scepter 5 gallon water container is identical to their yellow diesel and red gasoline container. Same mil, same design. Only difference is it is blue and has the old spout and a vent screw cap. Direct dispensing, no eco-handle. $20. I merely write "GAS" or "DIESEL" on in in big letters.
I have one and it has leaked gas several times in my garage! It does not do it all of the time but when it does it smells up the garage badly. It would appear that the tank builds pressure and pushes fuel out of the spout (yellow can does not seal) and ends up on the floor. If you have the address for them please forward to me as I tore the stickers off the tank. Sincerely, Richard Goodman
Plastic fuel cans do not prevent the light ends of gasoline from disappearing in as little as 30 days. Poor fuel quality will arise. Did a basic experiment with high octane fuel and metal sealable 15 gallon drum. Filled all the way up in the late 70’s, with high octane. Fast forward to 1990. Opened the drum and the fuel was fresh and ready to go. Used it in a lawn mower and a three wheeler, both ran perfectly. I only use the metal “Jerry” military Blitzkrieg type cans for fuel storage. The plastic ones are for weekends only.
The weak point of that can is the swivel at the gas spout. Over time using it it will leak more and more at the swivel joint at the bottom of the can. And once it leaks it will drain the entire can as the leak is at the bottom. You might not even notice it until you go to pick up the can to use it and it is empty. My gas is stored in a remote shed not in sight of every day use. Most irritating thing to me is to go to use something you need and it is empty and you need to go into town to get more. Your first hour of your project is wasted now running to get something you thought you already had. And worse that can is leaking and you need fuel now. So you now have to buy a new can as you can not wait for a replacement part to fix the can you have. And the can that was full with 30 dollars of gas is now spilled and wasted. Best can ever? Or worst can ever? I would say best can ever until it fails unexpectedly. Then worst can ever.
Thanks for the comment Dan, It's definitely a possibility BUT because of the ease of use this can brings if I have to buy one every 5 years so be it because it is a literal dream to use and lets be honest we'll spend more than $60 eating a crappy meal at a restaurant.
I've had mine for over 2 years never had any trouble with it didn't pay near that much I purchased it at my local fleet Farm store when it was on sale for $25 I have for gas diesel fuel and kerosene
I have one of these cans and I don't recommend it. The last of the gas does not come out so you need to remove the top and pour with a funnel. It also gets a little difficult to use when you can't rest it while pouring like on that tractor. When i fill my atv it really tires out my hand. If they were cheaper, I'd say they would worth it compared to the junk cans at walmart. But the better and cheaper alternative is to buy a cheap can at walmart and a flexible nozzle with vent cheap on temu and it will be much easier to use for less money
We have that as well and my wife has been using this Can for four weeks since I injured my spine and she loves this can so much more because it is so much easier to use than my cheap can with a flexible, spout and vent. It will sit right on the fender of the jeep and the spout will go directly into the gas hole so she doesn’t even have to hold it up when we’re adding gas on an overlanding trip but thanks so much for the recommendation and for watching!
It would be nice to back to a time when people knew how to use a can can. It would also be cheaper if when people didn't something stupid with a gas can , other people would say well that was stupid,and not get sued. Anyway
What kind of click bait is this😮 I clicked on it seeing a beautiful blonde girl holding up the can.😊 A Big Old pot belly guy comes on. 😂😂😂😂. I switched to another video immediately 😂😂😂
Possibly you need three hands to use the one spout, I have never had a problem with a similar design for years. I also leave the can outside and so far, after owning it for five years, it still works great and was only $20 for a five gallon container. The one you are showing is over 40 bucks and I see no reason for that cost; other than it is most likely made with US union labor. I'll pass....
Ha, that's if your wife can lift the 50lb full gas can on top of the hood. I like how bummed out you are that your wife has to cut the grass for 3 months 🤣 Love the gas can. I did the mods (new spout, and drilled vent hole) to my cans.
My wife was a competitive body builder and is a personal trainer…..for the most part she’s stronger than me. I’ve been basically unable to walk for 4 months and have lived in my living room. I assure you it doesn’t feel good to be this useless for that long
I’m sure it’s a better gas can BUT, that can is only as good as the seal at the bottom of the spout. It can be 15 layers but it’s still plastic and a rubber seal and it’s at the bottom. Not in my garage!!
She’s literally a competitive bodybuilder that can do a pistol squat with 70 pounds of metal chain around around her neck. So trust She can handle 5 gallons of gas. She loved how easy it was to sit up on the hood and just pour in to the fuel tank when she had to mow this week.
where are the multiple clear vertical sections that let me see the gas level inside as i am filling it or just taking a quick look at the can to see if it needs filling or how much gas i have left....? and that swivel hose is just something that will go horrible wrong, break or wear out.... HARD PASS....
Says the guy that’s obviously NEVER used it. You’re spending what it costs for 2 people to eat out AND supporting American jobs….i think the ease of use makes it worth it.
Not a fan at all. To many parts and in today’s world they will likely fail. Just my old man opinion. I would stick with the conversion on the crap cans they put out these days. Little chance of failure. Terry
Bwahahaha “Earned my money” I paid for these and this video may make $100 after a year lol. There are literally hundreds of comments saying they have used this can for 7 years and still love it.
@@williamc7367 bwahahahaha nah have you seen customer service lately....we are being served by humans that live behind screens and have no social skills lol
Then you’re not the target market but that’s what you pay for two people to eat at McDonald’s nowadays so me personally I think the ease of use especially while I’m injured has already paid for itself in six weeks so I look forward to the next 10 years!
I bought 3 of these and the seals on the spouts all failed within the first year. 12+ gallons of gas all over my garage floor. Lucky my house didn't burn down. These are absolute garbage.
@@DownSouth_Adventures I obviously had, too, which is why I bought 3 of them. I ended up with 3 Eagle Justrite 5 Gallon cans. Old school design. Really nothing that will fail. Also made in the USA.
That water jug is $45-50 each. I can get 5 gal. food grade bucket with twist off lid for $18. Why is it that American made products are such a pain in the wallet?
Well how about asking for $20 an hour at McDonald’s…that makes it jump up a bit but seriously If you can’t understand the difference in engineering between a food grade bucket with a twist off lid and this my reply won’t help. The ease of use alone is worth the price for me

@@DownSouth_Adventures 😁👍
My concern is, if the spout connection at the bottom develops a leak. I’d prefer the spout to be mounted on top.
The internals of this can seem super robust, the ease of use make it worth the risk!
@@DownSouth_Adventures No, no it doesn't. You're paying for planned obsolescence. We need to stand against that sort of thing. It's a bad design.

Try using Bounce dryer sheets in your shed, under your hood, use them for a rage to wipe down your wiring harness and hoses, seat and steering wheel. Scrunch a couple up and stick them in corners, under the rug, in your engine compartment. Keep the mice away.
Hey nice advice!
I bought one seems good only used it once
Bought it for my snow dog snowmobile machine
A little pricey but it seems to be good quality
Agreed! We will definitely report back on longevity but so far love the operation
Great Show....
Thanks for watching
Thank you for introducing us to this fantastic product
Thanks for watching!
I seen metal gas cans that lasted decades. I wonder how long this beast will hold up??? The only problem i see is changing out some of the moving plastic parts due to wear and tear, but time will tell.
People are commenting here that they’ve used the can for 7 years so hopefully it is good to go!
I had 2 oh the first ones that were out and both spouts broke cheep plastic and I ordered new spouts replaced them but then they leaked even put new gaskets on got rid of them both if you want advice don’t move the spout too much can be snap or leak
Luckily there’s over 300 comments of folks who have used these for 5-7 years so I’ll take my chances…BUT if it lasts 2 years the ease of use is worth the price.
@@DownSouth_Adventures what is wrong with holding the gas can using a funnel for a couple of minutes?
I have a stash of Canadian Mil-Spec jerrycans that I use for diesel vehicles.
Nice!
I did the same redid 2 EPA approved cans to my specs
It works in a pinch lol!
Hey brother, don’t have back surgery warning. It’s going to make you worse. Just lose a little weight go to the chiropractor. And do a lot of stretching. and work on your core at the gym or at home. Praying for you, brother great video by the way too.
Hey John I was a personal trainer for years and my wife still is. Unfortunately my issues can’t be fixed with chiropractic or the gym. I’ve already had my spinal fusion and can feel my feet and wiggle my toes which I haven’t been able to do for 10 years
Cool I like it, thanks for the share.
Hey Buddy, thanks so much for watching and the kind words!
A lot of moving parts to pour gas. Will it stand the test of time. ???
Every one online seems to love them!
That is my same worry. I will pass.
@@robertwilson2007 the ease of use makes it totally worth it to me
I bought a yellow one 2yrs ago at the national farm show $60
How’s it held up?
Just ordered two five gallon jugs, one gas, one diesel, lol,.......Thanks!
Hey I hope you like them buddy!
Good video. I have this can. And it is better than others. But actually, these plastic cans are not approved gas cans. They are actually not safe. We can’t use these in a workplace environment as they are not even OSHA approved. (Look it up) The good thing about that is we have to use the metal gas cans. And yes, they still make those good ol metal cans are grandfather used. They are great cans with good spouts. And they are approved to store gas. I would recommend looking at the old metal ones. They really are much better. And much safer. Which is important. I am in the emergency responder field and I cant tell you how many garage fires every year are caused by cheap plastic gas cans…. 1000’s.
Thanks I’m definitely not someone who cares about OSHA standards because I wish there were less restrictions on everything but with this one self burping I feel safe enough to
@@DownSouth_Adventures and I agree with you. About the too many regs…. But I have to say. Being a Paramedic, and having to treat the way to many severe burn patients, (burn injuries are THE WORST)…. In this case, these regs are warranted. Much better to have a good gas container and save your self, or your garage or house, then feel “safe enough”. But, just keep it in mind. Are you willing to risk it not work, or get an approved gas can. That works great by the way. Like I said. I have this exact can. I store my gas in a metal can and use this to fill up my equipment. I Use it as a secondary container.
@@WhatTheIfYouSeeKay Nice!
The Scepter 5 gallon water container is identical to their yellow diesel and red gasoline container. Same mil, same design. Only difference is it is blue and has the old spout and a vent screw cap. Direct dispensing, no eco-handle. $20. I merely write "GAS" or "DIESEL" on in in big letters.
Hey! Thanks for watching and sharing that jnfo
So now do I use that can to hold electricity for when my electric car runs out of energy ?
Bwahahaha sure give it a try but most people are using gas cans for lawnmowers, off Roading, etc.
@@DownSouth_Adventures I'm waiting for a line of electric cars parked on the side of a road when a traffic jam shuts down traffic for a couple hours.
@@jlsc4125 absolutely!
Love these cans . I’m pretty sure in my though we have to have metal cans now if your out mowing hauling them down the road
Gotcha so far we really love this can. My wife used it yesterday and was talking about how easy it is.
@@DownSouth_Adventures they are awesome when mounted on a trailer for filling up trimmers and other power tools
@@buckandahalfoutdoors that is a great point!
Thanks for sharing. I love my sure cans!
Me too and thanks for watching buddy!
I have one and it has leaked gas several times in my garage! It does not do it all of the time but when it does it smells up the garage badly. It would appear that the tank builds pressure and pushes fuel out of the spout (yellow can does not seal) and ends up on the floor. If you have the address for them please forward to me as I tore the stickers off the tank. Sincerely, Richard Goodman
Hey, I know for a fact that you can reach out to them on Instagram because they responded to a message there when I ask them a question.
@@DownSouth_Adventures Do you have a address or phone number for them?
Sincerely, Richard Goodman
Google has that address and telephone
@@Asidebar Yes, I found it. Sent them a note a week ago and have yet to hear from them!
Sincerely, Richard Goodman
Plastic fuel cans do not prevent the light ends of gasoline from disappearing in as little as 30 days. Poor fuel quality will arise. Did a basic experiment with high octane fuel and metal sealable 15 gallon drum. Filled all the way up in the late 70’s, with high octane. Fast forward to 1990. Opened the drum and the fuel was fresh and ready to go. Used it in a lawn mower and a three wheeler, both ran perfectly. I only use the metal “Jerry” military Blitzkrieg type cans for fuel storage. The plastic ones are for weekends only.
I don’t ever plan on leaving gas in it for longer than 6 months
When using a gas can weekly the ease of use makes it worth it
Hell yeah!!! I need one now!!!
The wifey used it this week and loved it as well
The weak point of that can is the swivel at the gas spout. Over time using it it will leak more and more at the swivel joint at the bottom of the can. And once it leaks it will drain the entire can as the leak is at the bottom. You might not even notice it until you go to pick up the can to use it and it is empty. My gas is stored in a remote shed not in sight of every day use. Most irritating thing to me is to go to use something you need and it is empty and you need to go into town to get more. Your first hour of your project is wasted now running to get something you thought you already had. And worse that can is leaking and you need fuel now. So you now have to buy a new can as you can not wait for a replacement part to fix the can you have. And the can that was full with 30 dollars of gas is now spilled and wasted. Best can ever? Or worst can ever? I would say best can ever until it fails unexpectedly. Then worst can ever.
Thanks for the comment Dan, It's definitely a possibility BUT because of the ease of use this can brings if I have to buy one every 5 years so be it because it is a literal dream to use and lets be honest we'll spend more than $60 eating a crappy meal at a restaurant.
$50?? I ain't spending on a gas can when I can get free 5 gallons jugs
First how is that a helpful comment? Most people don’t get free gas cans and $50 is less than the cost of a fast food meal for 2 now.
@@DownSouth_Adventures is very helpful it's letting the poor people know is $50
@@DownSouth_AdventuresI agree about the comment you’re replying to but $50 for a fast food meal for 2 is a bit of an exaggeration.
I've had mine for over 2 years never had any trouble with it didn't pay near that much I purchased it at my local fleet Farm store when it was on sale for $25 I have for gas diesel fuel and kerosene
@@glenmurra3856 I get free 5 gallon square jugs from my work
I have 4 of them
Nice! I’m sure this won’t be my last
I have one of these cans and I don't recommend it. The last of the gas does not come out so you need to remove the top and pour with a funnel. It also gets a little difficult to use when you can't rest it while pouring like on that tractor. When i fill my atv it really tires out my hand. If they were cheaper, I'd say they would worth it compared to the junk cans at walmart. But the better and cheaper alternative is to buy a cheap can at walmart and a flexible nozzle with vent cheap on temu and it will be much easier to use for less money
We have that as well and my wife has been using this Can for four weeks since I injured my spine and she loves this can so much more because it is so much easier to use than my cheap can with a flexible, spout and vent. It will sit right on the fender of the jeep and the spout will go directly into the gas hole so she doesn’t even have to hold it up when we’re adding gas on an overlanding trip but thanks so much for the recommendation and for watching!
It would be nice to back to a time when people knew how to use a can can. It would also be cheaper if when people didn't something stupid with a gas can , other people would say well that was stupid,and not get sued. Anyway
I miss the 80’s and 90’s every single day!
Ordered one
I hope you enjoy it as much as we have
do they make a left-handed model? that is obviously made for right handed people.
I’m left handed lol and didn’t even notice lol.
They are available at tracktor supply and Sam's club
Awesome! I'll probably add another!
In CA you need 3 hands to make it safe.
Bwahahaha that’s hilarious
I use a cheap battery powered pump. Use any cheap container. I use it for gas and deisel.
I’ve seen people use those!
@@DownSouth_Adventures They're great to empty tanks on machinery when the fuel starts getting old.
@@vmarc4682 I can see that for sure!
Still too much stuff to go wrong, just get the cans they use for race cars, has vent and a normal spout .
Heck no this thing is a dream to use!
agreed
Awesome
We love it!
After you buy the gas can you can’t afford to put gas in it!!! This can cost more money than filling up my car!!!😂
Haha.. it is a higher price point than most cans, but the ease and convenience of use makes it well worth it in my opinion
I kept expecting to hear "but wait! There's more.........."
I’ll get to that on the next one! RIP Billy Mays
@@DownSouth_Adventures I look forward to it!!!!
its sill cool though.
We love it!
What kind of click bait is this😮
I clicked on it seeing a beautiful blonde girl holding up the can.😊
A Big Old pot belly guy comes on. 😂😂😂😂. I switched to another video immediately 😂😂😂
We have lots of videos with her….check out our Aruba series
That little pump has hose as both ends cuz I 67 so didn’t like to fill my mowers by hand
Thanks for watching
Oh, wait, another "Listen to Me I'm a garden gnome". video.
Well I’m definitely the prettiest and coolest garden gnome you’ve ever seen…..I can’t help that you’re a garden troll
I wonder if his barber only charged him half price for that haircut
Your mom likes it…
Possibly you need three hands to use the one spout, I have never had a problem with a similar design for years. I also leave the can outside and so far, after owning it for five years, it still works great and was only $20 for a five gallon container. The one you are showing is over 40 bucks and I see no reason for that cost; other than it is most likely made with US union labor. I'll pass....
If you can’t see the value and ease of use for the can as well as the benefit of being made by the greatest country on earth I can’t help you.
Ha, that's if your wife can lift the 50lb full gas can on top of the hood. I like how bummed out you are that your wife has to cut the grass for 3 months 🤣 Love the gas can. I did the mods (new spout, and drilled vent hole) to my cans.
My wife was a competitive body builder and is a personal trainer…..for the most part she’s stronger than me. I’ve been basically unable to walk for 4 months and have lived in my living room. I assure you it doesn’t feel good to be this useless for that long
I’m sure it’s a better gas can BUT, that can is only as good as the seal at the bottom of the spout. It can be 15 layers but it’s still plastic and a rubber seal and it’s at the bottom. Not in my garage!!
We will be sure to report back on longevity, but definitely something to monitor
Your wife going to pick up that 5 gallons of gas and put it on the hood ?
She’s literally a competitive bodybuilder that can do a pistol squat with 70 pounds of metal chain around around her neck.
So trust She can handle 5 gallons of gas.
She loved how easy it was to sit up on the hood and just pour in to the fuel tank when she had to mow this week.
Hope it's not too expensive
Eh it’s $49 but as easy as it is to use and the fact that my wife can set it on the hood and just release the gas makes it worth it to me!
where are the multiple clear vertical sections that let me see the gas level inside as i am filling it or just taking a quick look at the can to see if it needs filling or how much gas i have left....?
and that swivel hose is just something that will go horrible wrong, break or wear out....
HARD PASS....
Says the guy that’s NEVER used the can…
Yeah ask Tyson Foods about those American jobs.
Yep it’s terrible what they are doing….i wish they would get the bud light treatment!
Make sure you research the back surgery success rates for yours.
70/30 from what I have read
Man when democrats redesigned gas cans they really hit a home run! Its awesome spilling 5 times as much gas now!
Bwahahaha it sure is!
Ruinedlawn mowercarbs
A gas can doesn't need to cost $50 and it doesn't need all those moving parts.
Says the guy that’s obviously NEVER used it. You’re spending what it costs for 2 people to eat out AND supporting American jobs….i think the ease of use makes it worth it.
Not a fan at all. To many parts and in today’s world they will likely fail. Just my old man opinion. I would stick with the conversion on the crap cans they put out these days. Little chance of failure.
Terry
Well these are guaranteed so I’ll take my chances
I agree 100% pass. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.

You earned your money, but I’m NOT sold. Too many moving parts for something that simply holds and dispenses liquid.

It's not out of my price range, it's out of my common sense rang. I'm not paying $49.97 for a plastic gas can.
Then you’re not the target market but that’s what you pay for two people to eat at McDonald’s nowadays so me personally I think the ease of use especially while I’m injured has already paid for itself in six weeks so I look forward to the next 10 years!
Great Can - but $50 ?
But is abuse makes it totally worth it for me.
My wife and I ordered Papa John’s the other night and after delivery fee, it was $80…
I bought 3 of these and the seals on the spouts all failed within the first year. 12+ gallons of gas all over my garage floor. Lucky my house didn't burn down. These are absolute garbage.
