Just saw this in my Pro Tool Reviews email for today. An inexpensive upgrade for the generic five gallon bucket. I may just have to get me one!

I put it on my Xmas exchange wishlist for myself with the remaining $ to be donated to the local independent radio station.
a bit of heater hose over or instead of the plastic thing works well.
Maybe these would work? Since discovering them I've bought a pack of 6 and use them alot for 5-gallon buckets.

The price of the bucket isn't bad, despite the 'free' (w/qualifying purchase at Harbor Freight) 5 gallon buckets at HFT. and that Snappy Handle, well, that's so clever and priced right, I may have to buy 5 of them just because I know they will work, and because the entrepreneur who made those deserves business for keeping them inexpensive.

I have been wanting a taller version of a pourable oil bucket I have. Now to measure my oil pan height.

You can purchase “heavy duty” plastic buckets at Lowes, that have a nicer handle.
The buckets coat about $7, whereas these Multipail buckets seem to be around $12-$13 each.
The better handles should probably gave been used on the Multipail, but maybe that would have pushed the price too high, on a bucket that already costs 3X the price of the average 5 gallon bucket.
The Multipail does look useful for the average person who just need something less spill prone than the average paint tray.

I rarely use a paint tray. I've been using these in 5 gallon buckets for years.
I guess I give the designer high marks for innovation but I just don't see the need in my case.

These are what I used as a painter way back when. They are the way to go.

I thought the five gallon pail painters were just using the five gallon bucket the paint came in?

Not if they want to get more paint on the walls than the floor. Gotta have room for the roller grid posted above. Plus, if using more than five gallons, gotta have a spare bucket or two to "shake" your paint--mix all of it together and then redistribute back into buckets. Nothing like a subtle (or not) shift in color or tone mid-wall.
I have no use for a bucket that doesn't have a lid. I also have no need for a comfort grip for the handle--that's what employees are for.

Walmart has them in the "camping" department.
For this toilet?

No, so far you have to use a regular bucket as a toilet....
