Eyefor Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) I had an old plastic bucket. Been with me for over 30 years. Solid build, strong handle a large capacity. Carried live bait when full of water, groundbait, fresh dug lug and ragworm is massive quantities, was 5+ years used on charter fishing boat as a sluice bucket with a big rope attached to handle, lobbed overboard (at full speed) then dragged back aboard to sluice the boat down on the way back in. Used on board for other issues.....🤫 plus (for the past 4 years) sand, gravel, cement and muck on a new house build. Last week the handle snapped whilst I was adding bricks & rubble to a skip. No problem methinks. Sorry to see you go but time to move over for a new bucket. Jeez....what a pile of carp. B&Q, Wickes, Screwfix, Huws Grey plus 3 x independent hardware stores and all lightweight (hard, not flexible) plastic with handles of wire thinner than a Sketchleys dry cleaners wire hanger. What is going on? All I need is a good strong bucket. HELP!!!. Would anyone know where can I find one please.
