I have a dozen of the VP jugs. They're good quality and easy to use in a vehicle or riding lawn mower. I've never used one in a push mower, chainsaw or other small equipment, but I can't imagine they'd be any worse than any other 5 gallon can. The hose is flexible enough that it shouldn't be a problem.
I typically get them locally at Bu-cee's (chain of giant gas stations in TX). I've seen them occasionally at Cabela's and BPS. They come in several colors.
