Best Paint Buckets of 2025

"I've added my voice to the chorus of praise for this product. The handle is sturdy, adjustable, and incredibly comfortable to hold. The magnet to hold the brush is a game-changer. I painted for an entire afternoon without mess on the brush's metal part, making cleanup so much easier. I read that you should only fill the bucket to about 1/3 of the brush bristles, which was fantastic advice. Even if you drop your brush in (which I didn’t, thanks to the magnet), it won’t get covered in paint like it does with a quart or gallon can. At its sale price of $6.30, it's a bargain! Highly recommended."

"I've been using the Handy Paint Pail for years, and this newer version is much lighter than my last one. The liners are essential for easy cleanup, and the adjustable strap fits perfectly over my hand. The magnetic brush holder works well, keeping my brush secure. I would definitely buy this again!"

"This little handheld paint pail is awesome! The disposable liners are easy to find locally, which is a plus. The magnet inside holds the brush out of paint, making it easy to manage while I'm painting various surfaces around the house. I never used one of these pails before, but I love it. I’ve used it so many times, and it still functions great!"

"I found these containers to be perfect for transferring paint from metal cans. They're easy to use and make storage a breeze."

"I use these for all my paint now. The handle can be a little tricky, but they work just fine. Best part is that they don't rust like traditional paint cans!"

"This bucket is excellent for holding paint. It seals well and opens easily, and the handle is strong."

"I received liners for this product, but honestly, it works great without one! Just peel the dried paint out later. This pail is user-friendly, easy to hold, and extremely mobile. It’s time to ditch the flimsy, awkward trays for this sensible design. I highly recommend trying it!"

"I needed a bucket for use on an extension ladder. This bucket is perfect; it easily attaches and stays secure. The wire handle makes it a breeze to carry, and the special hook is a genius addition!"

"This bucket is excellent for my ladder work. It hooks securely to the rung and the magnetic pad keeps my brush neatly in place. I’ve made a few DIY fixes for some minor design issues, but overall, this bucket has made painting on a ladder much easier!"

"This bucket is incredibly well-made, and I feel it will last a lifetime. I would definitely recommend it!"

"I recently added this to my toolkit, and it has transformed my painting experience. The dual roll-off system saves me so much time and ensures an even coat every time!"

"I cut my rolling time in half! This bucket holds 2 gallons without making a mess, and paired with an 18-inch roller, it’s unbeatable."

"I realize these Handy Paint Pail liners may cost only about $0.02 each to make, but at around $1 each, they are absolutely worth it. I hate washing out the paint pail, especially with oil-based paint. The plastic may be thin, but I've successfully reused them by peeling off dried latex paint. My Handy Paint Pail looks brand new after several sessions!"

"I should have read the ads more closely, but I have no complaints."

"When I use these with the cup holder, they save me so much time on clean-up. I just toss them in the garbage and forget about it!"

"I ordered this last minute before a painting party and I’m so glad I did! Initially, I got some laughs for using this cup instead of a regular one, but after painting for days, I had the last laugh. The magnetic brush holder was incredibly handy, keeping my handle dry and avoiding messy spills. It held a lot of paint, making it easy to reach tricky corners. Cleanup at the end of the day was a breeze. I’m definitely keeping this for my next project!"

"These little buckets are fantastic! They’re comfortable to hold, and the magnet for the brush is a great feature. Cleaning out dried paint is so easy; just let it dry and flex the bucket, and it peels right out. For the price, it's unbeatable!"

"I used this cup for touch-up paint around my house. It worked fine overall, but I found the handle a bit too flexible. With a full cup of paint, it felt like it might spill, which made me a little nervous. However, it didn’t spill, and it got the job done."

"I initially felt a bit skeptical about these cans, but once I figured out that I needed to apply force to the cap to hear the click, I found that they work really well. I tested them with water, and after applying pressure to the top, I could hear the click without any leaks. These cans are designed to be a bit tough to close, which is what keeps them airtight."

"I bought these containers to store leftover paint from various projects, and they turned out to be the ideal size and incredibly sturdy. They fit perfectly in the box and the lids snapped down tightly, preventing any leaks. I even put a little paint splotch on the lid to identify the color, and it dried flawlessly without smearing. This has been an exceptional product that is very easy to use and offers great value for the money."

"After reading some reviews, I saw that a few people struggled with closing the lids. I discovered that using a rubber mallet made it easy to secure them, and as shown in the photo, they are very secure. I will definitely be purchasing another set since I no longer have to deal with rusty, dried-out metal paint cans!"

"I used these for my epoxy work. They're of good quality for what they're meant to do. I will definitely get more of these when needed and would recommend them."

"I have purchased these in all sizes. They are great and durable, but sometimes they can be a little hard to separate as they occasionally stick together."

"I use these buckets for measuring and mixing epoxy. They are sturdy with easy-to-read markings. I plan to buy these again."

“I purchased this bucket because the cake wrecks lady recommended it. With small children around, it helps me avoid spills. My older kids can assist without much risk of making a mess. I’ve found it useful for both large and small projects, and it’s perfect for storing all my painting supplies when not in use.”

“This is my second time buying this bucket, so if you’re considering it, just go ahead and get one!”

“No me agrado pues no es el que yo quería”

"This is a great bucket! The quality is impressive; it doesn't feel bendy or flimsy, even when filled with water."

"I bought this for my dad's farm, but I had to return it because it was too small. However, the quality is good and very sturdy!"

"I absolutely love the original bucket with the metal handle. It was perfect for my cleaning needs, but the recent order had a plastic handle instead, which was disappointing."
