Anyone use these? Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

seems pretty good to me. How do they compare to the scepter cans? The last time I looked, they were about 60-70 a piece for scepter which are plastic.

I have 2 of those. I love them. I've had to bite my lip about buying some of Kurt's recent Scepter surplus since my NATO cans work so well. I got mine from a private party for $30 shipped from the east coast. They don't leak a drop! I do need to get some better spouts for them, but not a huge issue.

If you could use a Scepter, Kurt's got some in stock at the moment for $50ish.

Yeah baby, they are not cheap, but you get what you pay for. After mine took a leaping bounce out of my Tacoma on the WRT and didn't leak a drop, I was sold

Dude, looks like a sweet deal! I just ordered 2!

I thought you had to order them in quantities of 4 for $50?

how much was shipping?

maybe they are just cheaper if you order 4 at a time. It would save like 10 bucks. just a guess.

I bought 2 of these last year at Sargeants army surplus in PG, think they were $20. They are great, but ditto on needing a better pour spout. Mine even had little interchangable marker plaques for diesel, gas, oil.

I have one I got from my dad marked "Wermacht 1943" it does not leak a drop

Make sure you are using the correct seal in the caps... IIRC, the ones that Seargents had were all diesel cans, which use a rubber seal. The gas seal is made from viton I believe. Rubber won't last too long in a gasoline can.

Got them today. Total was $48.14.
Haven't filled them yet, but they look quite solid. Thanks for the tip Cody!
