The history of the Jerry Can starts in the year 1937, when manufacture was ordered by Hitler as a secret project. The design turned out to be exceptional, because after 70 years the basic design of the jerry can still has not changed.

There are some factors that make this can unique:
– Made of steel in a rectangular shape, it is easy and efficient to store, either singly or stacked.
– The three handles enable two cans to be held with one hand on each, and allow the cans to be passed to another person without having to move your hands; in the “bucket brigade” style.
– The sides of the can are marked with cross-like indentations that allowed the contents of the can to expand. There will always be a small air pocket so it will float even when full.
– The unique breather tube allows smooth pouring without gurgling or pulsation.
