As are most containers with threaded lids they are especially nice for keeping paint in. ...

Huh. I guess I don稚 get out much.

In fairness, I don't think they are common. I used to buy 5gal containers of aquarium salt for my reef tank. The screw top lids are very nice compared to having to tear them off after cutting all the notches. Once you tear the seal ring off they are far easier to re-open.

I understand the screw tops are available for sale but is product sold in pails with this type of top?

No, it is not.

No, it is not.

Actually my question was redundant as I used it twice in the last two days.

No... but it is at risk of becoming obsolete and relegated to a collector's item. :laughing:
