What is the difference between these lids and the ones with the metal locks plus the plastic airlock? Will I get the same results w/o the metal clamps

If you are referring to the airlock lids that employ a regular metal canning band, the difference is that this lid has the screwing action of the band and the sealing action of the flat cap all combined into one. With the added benefit of not getting rusty or tarnished. If you are referring to the flip-top style glass jars with the wire bail, the difference would be that these can be used with any wide mouth canning jar, and the "Primal Pickler" style jar we carry is all glass and includes the jar and lid all in one, but obviously is more expensive and costs more to ship. I hope this helps!

It is vary study. The only thing is that the locks are plastic so I would suggest buying a new ones.

The lids are a thicker and harder plastic as compared to the container which is more rubbery. Also, I think I saw someone post that the contents don't come out easily... if you put in a shallow cup or bowl of warm water, or run under warm water, the contents come out with ease and perfectly clean.

I have a bigger size but assume the construction is the same. The lids fit snug but don't create an airtight seal; I'd tape them before storing them in a shed.

Yes the lids are the same exact sized (I have the new and old ones and use the lids interchangeably). The only difference is that there is a laser engraved design and the lids are red instead of black. The material is also exactly the same as the old kind. (The hard durable non-staining plastic)

Just drill a hole in a regular Mason lid and stick an airlock ($1.50 at a homebrew store) in the hole. It's exactly the same thing.

I've never noticed any difference btw large/ small lids - seems to work the same on different sizes.

What you need to look at is the size of the opening of your jars, rather than the volume of the jar itself. These are the smaller lids (70mm), not the "wide mouth" 90mm lids.

I used one (two, actually) on a POD (the official PODS company) that I had sitting outside of my house for 2 months. The POD's have 2 holes for 2 locks so I bought a second lock. They fit fine. It was rainy season, had no issues with them rusting. No issues whatsoever. I recommend.

The airlock is universal, however, this kit is designed to work with a wide-mouth canning jar. (The white plastic disc replaces the canning lid, and it fits securely on the jar with a standard wide-mouth ring.) Unless ypu have an unusual gallon jar with a wide-mouth opening, this kit will not work. However, it will work with half-gallon canning jars with a wide mouth.

Well I have used both methods but I prefer using the lid. However, I do unlock the lid and slightly shift it so that there is a little air vent. Hope that helps !!!!!!

Great. No problem. I had the exact same lockset in brass and the thumb latch was an ongoing problem.

Glasslock is one the Lock n Lock lines; if the lid has a pattern it is borosilicate; i the lid does not have a pattern on it (like the regular lids), it is not borosilicate. The ones that are borosilicate will say borosilicate on the label (but it is very tiny writing).

I'm not sure what you mean by a lid lock. It has the metal part where your latch hooks to it so it opens a shuts with the handle. There is no lock on it, you just close it and it stays shut.

I bought the standard size airlocks and with a bit of pressure they fit snug. wish I knew the cork size though

I am not sure, I bought mine quite a while ago and they are the standard lids on mine.

the same amount of time as they would if you used the other metal lids. There is no difference just that you can reuse these. I love them and they were just as easy to use as the disposable metal lids.
