*One of the most common forms of [[Bulk Material Containers]] below an [[IBC Tote]]
*Can come in Painted Steel or Plastic
*The Lid has one threaded hole, and often one is unthreadrd
**The bolt is put through the unthreaded hole (sometimes with a nut on the opposite side) and it “pulls” the lid around the rim via the threaded hole on the opposite side of the band
**Making sure to get the band nicely over both the lid and the rim, and getting the bolt aligned so as to avoid [[Cross-Threading]]
**A Basic [[Ratchet and Socket]] can be used, however an [[Impact Wrench]] greatly speeds up the process
