Behrens BEHRENS-1210GS 1210GS 10-Quart Galvanized Steel Pail

This is a great, sturdy bucket. I got it for hauling ash out of my fireplace and fire pit. I saw complaints about it not looking great in the reviews. It's not meant to be a decorative bucket... It's for actual use and it holds up great. Very sturdy and serves it's exact purpose. Sticker doesn't peal off great, but that's fine - use some goo gone if it bothers you.

I bought this bucket to hold kindling for my fireplace and to clean out ash, which is sometimes still hot. Works perfectly. After removing the sticker, which left no sticky residue, it looks classy sitting next to my fireplace. Well made and seems to be very durable. Handle rotates into carrying position very smoothly. I’m very satisfied with this product.

If you are looking for a galvanized steel bucket, with a handle, that holds water look no further. This bucket has it all. Galvanized steel, a handle, and excellent water retention capabilities. You could even try different sorts of liquids, like milk, spaghetti sauce, and mayonnaise. One could even go crazy and put solids in it like rocks or sand!!!!Because it has the handle you can then carry your liquids or solids any location you desire.Five big stars!(Or if you have a giant Great Dane you could use as a watering dish.)

Good, sturdy bucket! So far I’m impressed, because it was very inexpensive compared to the buckets we’ve seen at feed stores and such.We’re just using it as a bucket to to carry ashes from the wood burner to outside, so we didn’t need it to look fancy. BUT. If you want to use it for decor or something like that, ours had a little dent on the side and big globs of dried glue at the bottom. But, like I said, it’s a little work bucket for us so I’m happy:)

There's a couple of whiney reviews fussing about the quality of the galvanizing and construction - maybe good ol' Behrens is having a bit of a quality control problem, but MY EXAMPLE IS FLAWLESS.I needed an ash bucket for my steel firepit (it's actually a tank end - looks like a big bowl on legs). I saw many a cutesie ash bucket for sale here for big bux that looked to me they'd surivive just fine in front of the fireplace as a decorative item, but I needed someting that was going to sit outside year around on the patio. A good old fashioned steel bucket ought work just fine.Okay, so they added about four bux to the price for shipping - you can find 'em listed at the local hardware store for that much less but you still have to order it and then ya hafta go get it. Or pay for shipping. I gave up trying to find one locally and just ordered the darn thing. Well they did in fact use those extra bux or shipping - it was here pronto. Yay seller!I'll admit it's not anywhere near as heavy as the buckets I grew up with on the farm, but I'm not going to milk a cow to it or carry feed in it. I'll see what it looks like in a year and update this review - it'll either be a pile of rust or look like it did when it came. My bet looking at it is it'll look like new.

Love the size and sturdiness of this bucket. Great for welding rod

This pale is made of steel and has a very nice weight to it. It is nice looking and can be used in so many different ways. Very versatile whether you are looking for something for storage, display or even as a cleaning pale. I have drilled a few holes in the bottom and filled with crushed stone to use a planter for my small arborvitae used to decorate my front staircase/entrance. I would recommend and already have an order for another size/sizes.

I got this bucket to use for my son's Easter basket. The sticker on the front comes right off. My son uses this bucket to dig in the dirt, and put his little cars in it. It works great for that purpose, and he loves the bucket. The bucket did have a chemical glue smell, from the glue used to put this bucket together. I washed it and it was all gone, but the bucket leaked water all over the place. The other reviews about the bucket leaking didn't bother me, because I didn't need it for that purpose. The bucket is very sturdy and great for anything but liquid.
