Hey, so about the Sherman FloTool 11849MI Dispos-Oil Recycle Jug, here's the scoop on its lid durability.
The jug itself is solid enough—it can hold up to 3 gallons of used motor oil and it's sturdy, which is nice for recycling purposes. Now, about that lid: it's a bit hit or miss based on our research.
A lot of people have pointed out that the cap doesn't always seal perfectly, which can be a problem if you're moving it around—think potential leaks. Some have said the cap feels a bit flimsy or doesn’t thread properly, which can make it tricky to get a good seal. That's something to keep in mind if you're planning to use it often or need to transport oil safely.
We found several comments about leaking issues, especially if the jug tips over or when it’s full. A few reports mention trouble with the threading causing the cap to spin without sealing tightly. Not ideal if you want peace of mind that your oil is secure.
On the upside, the jug itself is pretty tough and can resist common chemicals. It's easy enough to clean, and the handle makes carrying it around a breeze. But to avoid spills, I'd suggest keeping it upright when moving it.
If having a super-tight seal is key for you, particularly for frequent transport, you might consider either looking at other jugs or maybe upgrading the cap to something more secure.
Apparently, some folks have swapped out the cap for something sturdier, which could be a handy workaround if you decide to stick with this one.
