Can anyone recommend a real rubber full height trug with strong handles, please?
I'm going to refer to them as "tubs": I buy one or two
plastic tubs whenever I find them on offer (cos none last for ever). However, I now apply one rule: I attach an example pic of two types of plastic tub handles and I now only buy the type of handle as per the orange one. The type of handle on the black tub, as shown, tend to split easily (split arrowed).
At grave risk of over-doing the subject of tubs: I never pay more than £4; my favoured type last for a very long time (even when used for stone-picking after field harrowing) and they are light and flexible and tolerate being "pinched" for one-handed carrying. One can pay more for heavier duty, but then also heavier to carry and less flexible: I can carry two of the orange-type tubs, each sensibly loaded with stone pickings, back to the tractor/link box for bulk transit elsewhere. They really are quite resilient: so much so that I now have quite a collection. Note to self: stop buying tubs for a while!
