I can't pinpoint exactly when they changed their manufacturing process but the quality of the newer ones have gone way down. I was using one to carry water to my tank in the office and the handle broke off with no warning and the bucket just shattered when it hit the floor spilling 5 gallons onto the floor. My 4 yr old son not knowing what happened ran over and slipped on the water and smacked his head pretty hard. Luckily he was ok with just a small bump.
When I bent the remaining pieces of the bucket the plastic instead of flexing snapped like a dry twig. I went to check my other ones and they all crackled when I squeezed them. They're only 2-3 months old and I've always kept them out of the sun. Go read some of the recent reviews and you'll see it isn't just me. These are going to be my last ones.
