Loose Handle/Bottom 5 Gallon Keg, Pin Lock (Used)

They are not new, but like the ad says, if they are in a keezer or kegorator, who cares what they look like, they arrived in a short amount of time, and were pressurized when I got them. They were not junk (I was skeptical, when seeing loose handle or bottom, not sure what would show up at my doorstep) but the ones I got where just what was advertised and what I needed and it's hard to beat the price...Great service from Jason at homebrewing.org (2 thumbs up), and hard to beat pricing... You guy's rock!!!

These are a great buy, they are in pretty good shape, with lots of life left in them. If a handle or the rubber is loose, use 3m 2100, boat calk/glue you can get at any marine store, and it will make a permanent fix of it.

Arrived super fast; in much better condition than what was described. Going to purchase another once I get my keezer up and running.

Purchased 3 kegs this time and they were far better than expected. All held pressure and looked just like the pin locks that I had previously purchased. One had a cross threaded liquid post and upon calling customer service they apologized and send me a replacement free of charge immediately. Great guys to do business with. Great customer support. Will purchase again. Thanks.

Arrived in great shape and under pressure. Needs new o-rings and a thorough cleaning. Very happy with this purchase.

I received the kegs that I had ordered and am very pleased with them. They are used but not abused and with very little clean up they were ready for use. Needed 1 cover O-ring but other than that I am very satisfied and will order more.

I bought 2 of the 5 gal to start, I got these and they were in such great shape I just had to get 2 more. When my brew buddies saw them, they too have bought some. Best deal you'll ever find! Thanks AIH!

I bought two pin lock loose handle kegs. My first foray into kegging. On 1, the top (rubber) comes completely off. Other doesn't seem to have loose handles. Both arrived under pressure, just needed cleaning and new o-rings all around. Truth in advertising is a proposition with which I'm no longer familiar. But to undersell the item is a very pleasant surprise. I've never shopped at AIH before, but will continue to do so in the future.

The kegs I got were in a lot better condition then I thought they would be. The handles were on tight, they just needed to be cleaned and the o-rings replaced. Thanks AIH!

For the money, I don't think you can do better. My keg came dirty and with a very slight dent. Rubber foot and cap are in good shape. A few minutes with some cleanser and a scour pad, its looking great. If you see these available, don't hesitate, they go fast, you won't be disappointed.

All the kegs I received were as or better than described. 3 had loose handles but are in great shape and should be fine after some adhesive.

Great price - bought two kegs that are in excellent condition - well done AIH!

I ordered two of the 'loose handle' kegs but neither of them actually had loose handles. In fact, I was quite pleased with them. They did have syrup in them and needed to be cleaned really well but I would have cleaned brand new kegs too. I did have an issue with one of the keg posts but I contacted customer service and they have addressed the problem. This is the only reason why I didn't give the kegs a 5-star rating. On a side note, they must have taken a picture of one of the gnarliest kegs they had for their website because mine were in much better shape. I will definitely order more of these in the future.

The keg I received certainly wouldn't be displayed, but it holds pressure and no leaks. Can't beat the price!

This was my first time purchasing kegs, I purchased 3, 5 gallon and 3, 3 gallon loose handle kegs and I would absolutely purchase these again. They say loose handle but all six 'loose handle' kegs I ordered did not have any loose handles and all sealed fine. But, these kegs are dirty. On the inside and the outside. On the inside they have old soda syrup. Give them a couple good soaks and you should be good. I'll give 5 stars because of value. Just expect to do some cleaning.

Great price, great condition, dirty and ugly (used soda kegs: exactly as noted in the description). Ordered two, wish I had ordered more. The kegs came in better condition than I expected. The handles were in good shape and still firmly attached, Kegs were dirty and contained some soda (as expected) but cleaned out easily with pbw. Once swapped out with new O-rings and scrubbed up with bar keepers friend, they look great. Can't wait for another batch of these to hit again. Will definitely order more.

These kegs are dirty and scuffed up and they have stinky soda residue in them, and they rock as homebrew kegs once you give them and their components a good scrubbing.

Just received my kegs, and they are better than I expected. Handles and bottoms are all firmly attached, and apart from the usual scratches and dirt they are perfect! Get some while they last!!!

WOW! I did not expect the keg to be in such great shape. The handles and bottoms were not loose and in great shape, no major dents, held pressure. There was a small amount of syrup in the keg. Be sure to replace all the gaskets on these kegs. Awesome keg for $25. Will buy again.

I ordered 3 of these while they had them in stock last fall, wasn't expecting great kegs but what I got was in very good condition. I ordered new seals at the same time and ordered ball locks seals by accident and they sent me the correct pinlock seals. I'll be ordering from these guys again soon.

I bought four of these when they came back on sale November 2014. When they arrived, I was surprised as to how good of condition they were in. None of them had loose handles and seemed to be in the same, if not better, condition as the other kegs I have. Like all used kegs from AIH, they had some soda remnants inside but cleaned out just fine. After further inspection, I did find a couple which had been re-welded in spots (mostly around the bottom where the rubber meets the metal) which is some cause for concern. However, they all arrived under pressure and have zero leaks, so it will be worth it so long as they can be used a few times. One did have some dents around the opening for the lid, but some precision hammering should mitigate these issues. Other than that, they're in full operating condition. Even the seals on the lids were great. All in all, it's definitely a bang-for-your-buck buy, but it's more of a gamble than buying reconditioned kegs. If I need more, I will definitely consider buying these again.

I now have purchased 6 pin lock kegs. 2 loose handle and 4 regular. All arrived in good shape and fully functional.

Picked up two & both are in great shape, dirty & full of soda syrup as described.. but all in all great kegs for the price!

I have bought quite a few of these and even the worst ones I've gotten are still completely usable. Some took a little extra effort to clean but were still great once cleaned.

I bought two of these. I found that on one of them, I could find nothing wrong. It was a bit dirty and scratched up, but 5 minutes with a wire brush fixed that. It is a great used keg. The other keg had a broken handle (not loose). The handle on one side was non-existent. This does make lifting a bit difficult when it is full, but it can be done. I would have rather had a complete handle that was a bit loose (it isn't) but it does work fine. As with the other one it was a bit dirty but I was able to polish it up. Both of these kegs hold pressure great and don't leak a bit. I am using them, so overall I am happy. For the price it is really hard to beat!

I ordered three of these kegs. One had a piece of the handle torn off (but three grab-able spots remaining) and the other two had no visible damage. They weren't clean or pretty, but who cares?

One thing I do recommend is ordering new seals when you buy it. Great keg overall. I recommend it.

I have purchased kegs from a number of different sources over the years. Some came with loose handles or bottoms without warning and at high prices. These kegs from AIH are perfect for anyone who doesn't give a crap if their keg looks pretty. The handles and bottom on the 4 I purchased were not loose at all. There were a few dents, but nothing of concern. They all held pressure with the old o-rings, but I would recommend replacing them for sanitations sake and piece of mind. All-in-all I am absolutely happy with these kegs and will certainly purchase more in the near future.

I purchased this keg expecting a workable option that would allow me to try out brewing with a keg. What I got exceeded my expectations. It is of better quality than I've seen others get, for a better price than they got as well. You may have to clean it a bit more, but you'd have to clean any keg, regardless. I'll be ordering more soon, and will be inclined to buy other supplies from AIH due to their fast (and reasonably priced) shipping and attentive customer service.

I split an order of 4 with a friend. All were in better shape than the photo. They had some soda residue in them but an oxyclean soak was all that was needed to get them ready for beer.
