STJ or OXO 5qt cookie jar?

Hey forum, looking for a new cylinder to pump in and I'm wondering which I should get. Currently, I have a BM357 but pumping in it hurts. I think it's a little too narrow for me, which is why I want something wider. I've heard some people use the OXO 5qt jar but I don't know which would be better for me.

I think it comes down to how handy you are. The Oxo will require drilling a hole and figuring a way to securely attach the fitting.

STJ will be easier in terms of hands-on work, since you’ll presumably buy the kit from pumptoys. The tricky part may be locating the actual STJ. Target changed their design this year. The mouth is much wider and will no longer fit the pumptoys seal. Walmart might have suitable STJs but I don’t swing that way so you’ll have to do your own research. 😁

Okay, I was curious so I did the research. I can’t guarantee it, but this looks like it should fit the pumptoys seal:

This is way cheaper than the Oxo. Less work too.

That's really helpful, thanks!
