[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like how snug this lid fits to the pail. When cinched down, it grabs under the internal hoop of the pail and makes a very secure fit. Before trying it at height, I put a VERY well sealed 10 lb box of screws inside, and proceeded to try and make the lid come off. It held even with shaking several times and trying to make it come off. I love using this as my hoist bucket for my tools and small parts when up in the air. If parts are small and loose they may come out the small openings by the handle should it ever be inverted, but for anything larger, this lid keeps everything inside right side up or upside down. Couldn't ask for anything better to pair with the hoist bucket!
