This isn't something you will find in a wal-mart. They are made out of a much thicker material and meant to last for years. I hope that helps! Kindly, Renee **Q: Anybody figure out the threading on the pour spout?? Spout is 3/4" diameter but different from conventional garden hose threading.** A: 3/4 npt. you can get a 3/4 npt to garden hose adapter on amazon **Q: Has anyone purchased these from the seller/shipper spreetail? Are they authentic?** A: Authentic? I do not know. Superbly built, heavy duty water cans? Absolutely. I use these camping on the desert, bolted to my Jeep trailer. It takes hard use and extreme conditions without issue and still looks new. **Q: Is it $61 for one can or for a 2 pack?** A: I paid $64.95 for one when ordered mine March 25,2020. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Product, worth every penny. *by P***N on 9 June 2026* I have a number of these now and they fit right into my overall water storage plan.
