Life Latch buckets for grain storage

Having arthritis in both thumbs, the gamma seal and stiff pull-off lids don't work for me.  3 weeks ago I ordered Life Latch buckets from www.bayteccontainers.com.  They have many size, quantity, style and color options for all kinds of home and industrial containers.  Life Latch is what Breadtopia includes with 30? lb of grain.

I got a set of 3  3.5 gallon (white with choice of lid color) for $37.95  (ordered 2 sets to meet the free shipping minimum).  I signed up for their e-mail and quickly got a coupon for 10% off first order.  The 3.5 gallon holds 25lb of Palouse hard red wheat berries with about 1" of empty space at the top.  3 gallon would not work unless the grain is smaller.  It's not too heavy for me to move around, as I'll have to stack a few once I get more grain.  The lid is super easy to open but seals airtight.

They have 3  5-gallon Life Latch for $39.95.  Baytech is the best price I found, and not even Amazon can come close.

Mony, your link doesn’t work for me. I went to Bay Tech but not sure what containers you like.

are the buckets she ordered. I must say that I am not too impressed with my gamma lids at the moment. The rim of a few of them split. The lid still screws on but I don’t know how airtight they are now.

Dan, sorry for the delay.  We headed for Utah that day and our first grandchild was born the day after we arrived.   Just enter Life Latch in the Bay Tec Containers search box and they'll come up.  .6 to 11.3 gallon.
