How "leak proof" is this for storage and infrequent use?

I used mine the first day that I received it (few weeks ago) and it currently has a can of grease inside without any leaks or noticeable damage

That will depend on the quality of the product in the gun and what temp the gun is being stored in. Having said that, I have OEM Cat lubricant in this gun that's been sitting on the shelf since last fall, no leaks.

so far, mine has not leaked at all and I use it maybe 2-3 times per year. I think it depends on a good seal and heavy grease. I have had other guns with lighter grease installed that were a mess. So far, this has been fine. HTH!

I have had mine in use for at least a year and the only leaks have been user error. I find that I have not double checked the ziplock type seal and it is slightly misaligned leading to leaks. I have even frozen them and not had a problem.

I have packed soups and never experienced a leak. This product has proven to be reliable.

I have used mine extensively and have had no leakage. Here's an idea - if you are concerned about ruining a $1k+ laptop, go to Target or walmart and pick up a box of the HUGE ziplock bags and put the bladder in the ziplock bag as a secondary barrier. Hope this helps...

This mess kit is not designed for storing food that could possibly leak. Dry food, such as instant oatmeal or dry cereal and condiments in zip lock bags should be fine. So you are aware, when the kit is closed it is "not" water proof. It's function is as a food tray and "sometimes" as a cooking pan. I would not recommend using it regularly to cook in.

It works well for me. I've used it a number of times and have not had any issues with leaking.

I don't use often. Only for sewing projects. But mine has never leaked when I've filled with water.

I haven't tried that. But I have had two of these under my bed for emergencies. They've been there for many months now, maybe more than a year, and I've had no leaks.

I have had mine a few months... do not use it as much as I would like but have had no problems with leakage. Hopefully it will last a good, long time, but I have not had mine long enough to know.

I use mine at my coast house to clean my deck. I've never experienced any leaks, but I don't use it often.

This was my question too... And it seems to be but the real test is starting school next week. So far with use around the house we have been fine! (Everyone I asked or had demonstrate showed leak proof though. This was the best option I found!)

I've used mine for about a month, probably 10 or 15 times, and have had no leaking or filling with water so far.

I am confident that you can store anything you want in there. I holds less than .2 gallons, so plan accordingly. I keep mine full and in the bags on my Harley all the time. No leaks or spills. Great peace of mind. I don't think I would *plan* to use it--the lid is hard to open, and you *will* spill a little. But if you really need it, that doesn't matter.

NOT leak proof!!!! I would put dry goods in it. If you are able to transport it while keeping it upright, then I would put thicker sauce in there, but definately nothing runny.

I think so. Other people have commented on leaks, but that has not been a problem for me. However, I've used it as a spare for guests, so it's usually set up for only a week. It maintains fine for that period.

It has never leaked for me, been using it for a few years, it seems very durable.
