TLDR Review: AllwayTools GPS5
Verdict
The AllwayTools GPS5 is a decent accessory if you frequently pour large amounts of paint and want to reduce spills and mess, especially on buckets with compatible raised lips. However, its lack of a secure locking mechanism means it’s risky to rely on for repeated use on standard flat-topped 5-gallon buckets. If you need a more secure fit and longer-term reliability, you might want to consider alternative paint pourers designed specifically with locking features or threads to ensure stability and prevent spills.
- Top pro:
- Makes pouring from 5-gallon paint buckets much easier and neater, helping to prevent mess and product waste.
- Top con:
- Does not fit securely into the standard punched hole on top of a 5-gallon paint bucket—no threads or locking mechanism means it can slip and fall out.
Pros

Cons
