Eagle 14 Gallon Plastic Drum with Lid, Metal Lever-Lock, 26.5"x15", Open Head Lab Pack Drum Made of Durable, Lightweight HDPE, Withstands Weather and Chemicals, Made in USA, Blue, 1610MB

I mounted a Dust Deputy on top of this drum. Worked great!Now, I'm not the first to do that. I found the idea in reviews of the Dust Deputy. But I'm here to tell you:1. Works GREAT.2. KEY DETAILS.Both of my vacuums have enough suction to collapse a bucket or drum with thinner walls or poor reinforcement. That's just not a problem with this blue drum. However, the lid is a lighter material. It needed some plywood reinforcement.ASSEMBLY: There are two shop-made PVC gaskets between the Dust Deputy and the barrel lid, and two more just below the lid. There there is a piece of plywood to reinforce the lid. It's all connected with six 5/16" hex head bolts, each with two washers and one nut. Without the plywood the top was sucked deeply into the drum. Now it stays pretty flat. And it's a tight joint. How tight? If there's rainwater puddled on top and I use the system, not a drop of water gets sucked through the connections. It's easy to see all the dust is bone dry when you pull the lid off. Holes for the bolts were easily drilled, 21/64" (or 5/16" if that's what you have). The main hole for the Dust Deputy was easily cut with a sharp utility knife and patience.IN USE: I line the drum with a large plastic bag. Because the vacuum wants to pull the bag to obstruct the bottom hole of the Dusty Deputy, I throw some scrap wood into the bottom of the bag, and make sure the bag is stretched close to the drum wall before putting the lid on.I particularly like the size of this drum. It goes easily through a doorway when needed for a job. i also like the way the drum really stands up to strong vacuums. Suction provided by a Festool CT MIDI (max 137 CFM) or Ridgid WD4070 (103 CFM). Connection to tools with Bosch 5-meter hose.FUTURE: Someday this will probably be mounted on a cart . The shape of this drum is ideal for that. Just planning ahead. The drum has been more stable than expected so the cart is off in the future.Oneida Molded DIY Dust Deputy CycloneFestool CT MIDI 3.96 Gallon Dust ExtractorRidgid WD4070 4 Gallon Portable VacuumBosch VAC005 5-Meter Vacuum Hose 35mm

Well made. Good price.

Bought to seal dog food due to mice issues. Worked great!

Great storage containers. Seal nice for items that can't get damp. Love it

I purchased this to partner with the Dust Deputy Cyclone, as a dust collection system for my small shop. This setup was to replace the Home Depot Dust Stopper. The Dust Stopper with a Home Depot 5 gallon bucket not only did not seal tight enough so that it lost suction, but filled up way to fast. Planing 4x 4"x4"x4' boards would fill the old system. This bucket can fit a lot more debris (just by size alone) and provides a better overall experience. I have this coupled with my Vacmaster 6.5 HP shop vac that is rated for 150 CFM.I am extremely pleased with the quality of this canister overall. The canister itself is very rigid, and has been able to withstand a good beating. It shipped without a box (little weird), but arrived undamaged, which I believe goes to show the quality of it.The latching system for the lid to the main body, is extremely well fitted and provides a very nice airtight connection. It's extremely easy to get the lid on and off with the latching mechanism.The only small complaint with this canister is the lid. The lid is good, and provides a nice airtight seal, and is easy to cut and adjust to attach the Dust Deputy Cyclone. The drawback to how easy it is to cut, is that it is a little thin, and with the suction from the shop vac, it has a tendency to deform. If the lid had been a little thicker, this would be a 5 star product. But for my purposes, just adding some 1/4 inch mdf backing to the lid to add some rigidity, meets my needs.Final note; static does build up on the canister when running the dust collection for more than 30 minutes. This is with using anti-static hoses on both connections, and the Dust Deputies claim to being anti-static. This is not a concern for me, but for those that are looking for longer runs, or live in drier climates, you may consider adding some grounding to the canister itself to reduce the chances of a static discharge.

I was very impressed with the quality of this barrel. The removable top is very sturdy to accept a cyclone separator with no issue. The only issue I had is with the latching mechanism being very tight. No problem, just leave it partially latched and the top is very secure for my use.
