Eagle 1662 Drum Funnel with Brass Screen, 18" Diameter x 7" Height

Wish I had found this year's ago. Very well made!! Flawless. Only way to break this, is intentionally. Filters, Drain pans. Worth every penny. I use it with 55 gallon drums.

UPDATE: after reporting to Amazon, I was sent a brand new one. As you can see from my updated photos, it’s amazing and definitely heavy duty. We set it on our rain barrel. We shall see how it stands against the rain, but happy to have have gotten a better product.Received a very defective item, with holes in it. For $60 plus some change I would expect there to be better quality control before shipping. Someone literally saw the item, thought wow this looks right, put it in a box and shipped it to a customer.I have ordered a replacement and will change my review upon getting the newer one.

I decided to "Go Green"-er and make a rain barrel for my wife and her extreme love of all things green. My biggest problem was that my house in southern Georgia does not have gutters and I wasn't keen on installing them anytime soon. I needed something that could collect a large amount of runoff from the roof of my house in a corner that a lot of water would concentrate in when raining. I made the rain barrel with a new water barrel that I found cheaper on a competitor's site and some parts I ordered from Amazon like teflon tape and two brass faucets. My local hardware store is insanely overpriced for everything since we're in smalltown USA. So, I had everything installed and functioning with no way to collect the rainwater efficiently. I looked at a bunch of options like tarps spread on posts with twine or cables holding it up, making a massive collection point, a special funnel produced by some company online specifically for collecting water in a free standing rain barrel (which was WAY overpriced and, thankfully, out of stock), and then THIS. I am extremely happy with this automotive part for my purpose! It works perfectly for my specific application. Now, to be fair, you would definitely collect more water faster and more efficiently if you had gutters and a a special application to divert the water from the gutter downpipe, but this works great after one or two real good rains. My wife waters her back porch garden full of all kinds of flowers - both potted and planted in the ground. If you have a small flower garden, one barrel should be enough. If you have more water needs, you could always setup more barrels as overflow, but gutters would definitely be much more prudent. Regardless, this was great for me with my little corner where water would flow like a waterfall during a rainstorm.

Works great for what I purchased it for

Does the job. Bought this funnel along with a metal drum for changing oil in a tugboat. Use it to catch the oil from the filters.
