The standard five-gallon plastic bucket is an icon of American industry.
For about $3.50, you’re looking at the durable, all-purpose vessel that every man will at some point have to invest in to get a job done — whether it’s painting the house, weeding the yard or knocking off a case of cold ones over the course of a long summer day.

Not included: sunshine, five friends and a beach, golf course or campsite.
