A valid point Mr. Chisel. The problem is this, I'd rather have something that I know works than search for something that MIGHT work.

I've got 2 similar containers that I got from CountyComm, they're durable, watertight, pretty much perfect for what they are meant for.

The ones I ordered are the same material so I know that they're watertight and durable and they come with what looks like a better and more useful cap.

It costs me about 50 cents per mile to drive, I'd rather spend 8 bucks and have something I know will work delivered to my door then spend half that much in driving costs and who knows how many hours of shopping to find something that may work in a store.

Like using soda bottles for water storage, I don't buy soda, I'd rather spend a bit more and get better containers then buy something I don't use and pour it out just to salvage the bottles.

Different strokes and all that.

P.S. as for improving their sealing abilities, I've found that a short piece of teflon tape works wonders for almost any threaded container.
