Used oil drums

[drinksloe]

I've started using them as sumps in drains/culverts and concrete them in.

Used some more as 'shuttering' on a big clay tile that occasionally blocks so made some heath robinson man holes with them.so i dont have to dig down to the tile if it ever blocks again ( flows from my neighbours garden so if they don't clear leaves it can block easy)

 

Also cut holes in the ends/tops and place over trailer hitches to keep rain off drawbar.

 

Never thought about using them as tool storage. 😀

Wots the best/easiest way to wash the oil out of them?

If you don't intend keeping your lunch in it just wipe it out with a clean rag, bit of oil won't harm tools.

Hot soapy water might do a better job of cleaning.
