Product Description
The hedpak is a 5 gallon container. This container is square shaped and is equipped with a heavy-duty carrying handle. On the back end of the handle is a vent Lid (included) that when unscrewed permits a more even flow from the Spigot (Spigot adapter Lid also included) - Spigot is not included. It is a Natural (translucent) container.
From the manufacturer
5 Gallon Plastic Hedpack With Cap
The hedpack is a 5-gallon HDPE (high density polyethylene) container used primarily for water or liquid storage. This item is useful in the garage, camping, home brewing, or for just those moments when liquid must be stored. The handle makes this particular container easy to manage and much more convenient than your average bucket.
The convenient square design makes it easy to stand multiple containers next to each other in a tight space. It is durable, yet light weight with quality construction that allows for years of use. The natural translucent container provides the opportunity to see through in order to determine how much liquid is contained.
Each hedpack has a twist on lid to provide ease of filling and emptying. The center of the lid can be drilled to allow for a hedpack spigot that can be purchased separately. A vent lid is also supplied with the hedpack. It can be unscrewed to permit a more even flow from the container.

I do find that the top is both hard to screw on and leaks a little, but despite that I can safely drive around in my car with a full jug and it has yet to tip or fall over despite braking and steep hills.
Check the inside of the handle though. First time I filled it it scratched my knuckles picking it as the plastic was rough on the seams. A gentle filing with a nail file solved the problem.
I will say the handle itself wasn't huge. It perfectly fits my hand, and I'm a woman with average sized hands, so it may be a little tight on man hands or larger women's hands. The handle is super solid though, it doesn't feel like it might bend or break when I pick up a full jug. It's on the wider side too which is nice as with anything heavy more evenly distributing the weight is helpful. It doesn't cut into my hand despite being 45-ish pounds when full.
Overall, glad I bought it, it works much better than my old one. It's not perfect, but for the price it's a really substantial jug, and light enough to not add any significant amount of weight when trying to haul 5 gallons of fluid around.
No issues with the seller or delivery, it might have been a bit over packed given its bendable plastic (unlike the more brittle plastic bottles floating around out there). But I'd rather it be over packed than damaged.
I did trim a little of the seams as they were sticking out in some areas however, I was able to smooth it out with a razor. Should the hedpack lose it's shape, I plan to report back.

No problems with jugs what so ever.
No worries for anyone who would want to order them from this seller.
I bought the container to store used motor oil and it's perfect for that. Great capacity, tight lid, optional vent port.
The construction feels solid. I filled it with 4.5 gallons of water and the sides didn't wobble. The handle is large and solid enough. I recommend it.
