Best Universal Spill Kits

We love the flexible size of this heavily absorbent kit: large enough for commercial use yet practical for the home mechanic who tends to have more spills and leaks than the average household.

With 5 socks to contain even large spills and chemically inert pillows and pads for different absorption needs, there is enough absorption power in the Oil-Dri for small industrial spills of oil or non-corrosive chemicals. However, the 20-gallon bucket is compact enough to find space in the average household garage, where it is especially useful for the occasional oil spill or car fluid leak. The kit includes 3 disposal bags and an emergency response guide.

Portable Universal Spill Kit

The seal is not perfectly tight on the bucket, which may cause a saturation of materials if exposed to rain or unusually wet environments.

Best Bang for the Buck

Brady SP

While this kit contains all the essential materials of a quality spill kit, it stands out for its portability, making it a good option for users who often have to travel to locations where spills are a possibility.

This kit includes 2 socks, 10 pads, and 1 disposal bag. While this is smaller than some bucket kits, it adds to the portable nature of this kit, which is where it shines. The lightweight cloth container is easier to carry than bucket models, especially when carried by the attached handles, and it is compact enough to fit easily into the trunk of any car. Its bright yellow stands out in the dark, making it easy to locate in an emergency situation.

1- Piece Hazmat Absorbent Spill Kit

2 socks is not enough to contain a large spill, making this kit useful only for lighter jobs.

ESP

This basic but effective spill kit is a good option for a household in need of an small kit that is easy to store and portable in case of an unforeseen spill.

While it lacks some of the materials of larger kits, the ESP is a nice size kit for storing at home or to use at a small business in case of emergency. The 3 socks is enough to contain virtually any home spill, and the bucket handle makes it easy to move the kit to where it is needed. Many smaller kits do not include gloves or goggles, but this comes with both.

With only one disposable bag, this kit is only good for a single use of a moderate-sized spill.

Stardust

Quick Response Spill Kit

This kit for small spills is notable for containing 4 disposal bags instead of 1 like most small kits, making the materials usable on multiple spills.

For most household spills, only a few of the spill kit materials have to be used for cleanup. 4 disposal bags. Any unused materials available for another spill if necessary, with the additional bags for disposal use. It is compact enough to store at home, and uses a yellow duffel bag container for easy travel.

30-Gallon Universal Spill Kit

As with many smaller kits, goggles are not included in this product.

AWF

This 30-gallon spill kit is a good option for factory or industrial settings where larger spills are a possibility.
