pailful
What buckets hold
A pailful is the amount that fills a pail—typically several gallons of liquid or loose material: She hauled pailfuls of water from the well.
Like other container measures (cupful, bucketful), it describes quantity rather than the container itself.
Plural: pailfuls or pailsful.
