These are used a lot in my area.  They are quite useful and I'll
offer the following hint:

The pour spouts are prone to opening a tad if they get knocked.
Get a heavy elastic band and make a lanyard hitch around the
carrying handle with it and then loop the other end around the 
spout and engage the valve lever.  This will hold it in the
closed position and doesn't have to be removed to open the 
valve for short periods.
