[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this because I have the smaller version but regularly have to make two trips to the gas station in one day. This 5 gallon is built like the other. I won’t say they are the easiest to use but I know it’s a government regulation to have the child safety mechanisms. Sometimes I feel like I need an extra hand to get it going but the palm level works ok. The flow of gas is really slow and sometimes it leaks. You also have to fill it slowly, mine has some sort of filter at the spout. To be honest, I haven’t got it working perfectly to an exact science yet but it is a good quality can. Plastic is thick and the 5 gallon ensures I have plenty of gas on yard work day. It’s one of the better cans that you can buy, I would recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently received this Gas Can, which is big and sturdy but also secure enough that I didn't feel too concerned that I has gas in the back of my truck while working out in the field. We lost a bunch of limbs on our ranch due to the Ice Storm in Texas and this baby kept my chainsaws and mowers gassed-up all afternoon long. Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No spill at all. Literally leak proof. The moment you let off the handle the flow stops. This is a 5 gallon container the placement of the handles makes carrying and pouring a very easy task. The container has a strainer in the opening which filters the fuel. This ensures that you are always getting clean fuel in your equipment. This is the first container I have come across with a strainer in it. This is definitely way ahead of the competition.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got this gas container despite having trouble with a smaller version that I got a couple of years ago. The issue was how difficult it was to pull back the release lever. But once I used it several times it got easier. I have to say that this one is easier to use but has the same tension. My wife makes me fill the mower for her, and my mother has trouble with hers. But as far as safety goes, it definitely isnt going to spill or rush out like regular gas containers can do.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gas can is a far cry from the big, heavy, metal gas cans of my childhood! This SmartControl 5-gal Gas Container is light and extremely ergonomically friendly which makes handling and pouring much easier! The cap and leak-proof valves ensure that no gas is ever spilled during transport.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice gas can. Plenty of storage for me. Nice safety features to keep children from getting the gas to come out. Nice handles for carrying and pouring. Does require moderate hand strength to compress gas release valve. But a good quality gas storage container.

I bought a couple of these for my garden tractors and generators, what a mistake, nearly impossible to get gas to pour into either my Ariens zero turn or garden tractor witout spilling everywhere. I ended up buying a couple of plain aftermarket gas caps and a strainer funnel and fill it the old fasion way. At least the old army style steel jerry cans can be sealed against leakage with a good gasket and you can see how much gas is going into the tank past the good old reliable spout. Someone needs to shoot the designer of these new "Safety spouts" since they are all a PITA and frustrating to attempt to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is very easy to use, seals good so no leaks, very easy to poor and is great quality made and should last a long time.I really like it, and recommend it to anyone who needs one and also would buy more of these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Scepter - 5G SmartControl Gas Container with Rear Handle works properly and holds gas great, no leakage at all and is easy to use, even for my wife. The material is sturdy, I filled it all up, and yes it was heavy but the handle is strong and sturdy so was not difficult to move it around.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this fuel can to keep handy around the garage in case I needed an extra couple gallons of diesel. It is a good can and works pretty well. Not messy and pours good. I like that it’s 5 gallons. That’s a lot.
