Hi All,
My handles of all my trugs eventually snap no matter how expensive they
are.
Can you recommend some that you have used that are really strong?

TIA

What do you mean by "trug"? Do you mean a flattish basket about 40cm
long and about 20cm deep with a handle over the top, which is the
original meaning of "trug". Or do you mean a deep softish plastic tub,
usually in a bright colour, with a little handle at each side, which are
now being called "trugs"?

If the latter, yes, it happens to me too. I just buy the cheapest I can
find, and regard them as expendable.

It helps if you always pick them up by both handles simultaneously
rather than yank them up by one.


Are we talking muck buckets here?
If so, calling them trugs seems an upwardly mobile marketing strategy
which may sadly work.

For what it's worth, those little mechanically propelled trolleys used by
hospital porters are also called trugs!

Some more research indicates that Wyvale sell "trugs" - plastic bucket type
things with two handles now being called "Flexitubs" - much more
appropriate.

Flexitubs is just another brandname.

I always assumed that this usage of the word trug, came from the
original (??) brand Tub-trugs?

FWIW, you can get 'professionsl' Tub-trugs which should be stronger
(don't know how easy to source though.

There are also Gorrila Tubs, which are the builders version of
Tub-trugs.
