Replacement Handles for Buckets Bucket Grips Two Pack

I'm not sure what some of the one-star reviews really mean. I understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I can't see what the complaints (tabs won't line up, doesn't snap all the way shut, etc) are about. This product is as simple as it can be. There's two parts, they snap together to install, and the first bucket I put one on wore out, but this handle didn't. If this was any easier to understand and use, it would be have to be one piece. I puzzled my head for a while trying to get the two halves to release (I am cheap enough to try and re-use it), but NO. It's on there to stay. In the past I've created handles from air hose, garden hose, tape (of every imaginable kind), foam and even an old leather belt...all of which takes time. I've gotten pretty good at it too, but this snap-and-done solution saves me time, and therefore money, hand fatigue and the headache of handle repairs/re-dos.I came back to order more. A new bucket will have a new (cheap piece of plastic) handle, but I handle buckets every day, and the handle is the most important part of the bucket. If you have a bucket (or two or ten) that you use every day, then get some of these. Your hand will thank you, and you'll never have to replace it. But you will have to get more when the bucket gives out. Or if you figure out how to remove it, and use it on a second bucket, let me know.

Great for carrying loaded buckets without hurting your hands.

It snapped on in place easily. I fill up a bucket with water that I collect in the shower and at the kitchen sink so I make multiple trips with my gray water to the garden daily and it's easy to carry because of this snap-on grip. I don't have strong hands, so I really like it and think you will too

Perfect fit for the application!

If you haul anything heavy around in 5 gallon buckets, these will make your life so much easier. Don't wait til those crappy thin plastic grips that the buckets come with crack and split off... just replace them with these. They install in seconds and stay on. Buy now!! Your wrists will thank you.

Good product but expensive.

Had a decent bucket I use to carry water to an evaporative cooler on my patio. However, as expected the cheap little plastic handle that it comes with broke off into pieces. I was about to throw away the bucket as we all know how much it can hurt to carry a heavy bucket with that tiny metal handle digging into your fingers. While looking for a new bucket, I came across these replacement handles. Bought them right away and they work perfectly. Snapped right on and is even bigger than the original handle; making it much more comfortable to carry. This was my solution, and it could work for you too.

We don't have running water in our barn and during the winter our miniature horses drink 5 gallons a day. A 5-gallon bucket full of water weighs about 40 pounds and carrying that much using the flimsy plastic handles that come with the bucket really starts to hurt; when you have just cleaned their water tank and need to haul ten 40-pound buckets out there... Ouch!These handles make the job so much easier. They're bigger around so they won't dig into your fingers and they're easier to grip. They also look like they'll last longer; nothing bugs me more than having to toss a bucket just because the darn handle broke.
