Faulks Tubtrug Flexible Large - Orange

Been looking at getting this big flexible Gorilla Tub for a couple weeks and decided to buy one. This tub is HUGE! I needed a large flexible container to help me clean out my chicken coop that has a narrow door and can handle a lot. (I could use plastic buckets but it would be a lot more in and out) This tub is fantastic and I've very glad I got it. Going to get a couple of the smaller Gorilla Tubs in future orders!

Great until the handles break

We bought 4 of these in various sizes. The flexible but rigid material made them great for a lot of uses. But the handles are thin and break. Carrying a bucket of water and having the handle split and soaking your self is frustrating, or having the whole bucket of sand/rocks fall on your foot or spill in the wrong place.

I have bought these tubtrugs, again and again.

I love these tubtrugs. They are durable, lightweight, colorful, fun. I've purchased many, giving them frequently as gifts to fellow gardeners and to the young gardeners I am raising as part of my family. I use several sizes, for different purposes. Two sit by my water barrel in the front yard, one for stray weeds and the other for stray stick (I live "in the woods" and a windstorm can being a rainstorm of wooden particles off the surrounding trees); one is on the back deck for deadheading flowers in my decorative pots; a stack of others are available to use as I work in the yard. They make my gardening life more fun and perhaps even more colorful (if that is even possible . . . )! You will not regret having a supply for yourself.

I would buy (and have bought) this product again and again!

We use these to move small equipment, tools, soil, debris, small stone, really all kinds of things used in landscaping, gardening, grounds repair work, even recycling. We even use (clean ones!) filled with ice and waters for our crew. All our vehicles have them, it's a great way to keep each person's equipment sorted and handy and you just grab it and get to work without having constant trips back to the trucks. We seem to find new uses for these all the time, we probably have close to 30 of them now and I'm sure we'll be adding more. We remarkably haven't destroyed any of these and believe me, they sometimes get abused. We use Dawn dish liquid soap to clean them and they clean up nicely. Highly recommend

Not the TubTrug of a few years ago

I have a black rubber Tub Trug from probably 15 years ago that has a more rubber like feel and the thing is indestructible, or close to it. It has handled everything I have ever done to it with ease and looks new. The colored trugs from the past 10 years or so are made from a more plastic like material that is a bit more flexible but has less recoil/recovery; if the trug is left sitting in a partially compressed or deformed position for a bit, it will take on that shape, which the original model would never do. The newer material is also far less durable in terms of longevity, though it is sturdy enough at first and works hard the first few years. I have had handles on the newer trugs snap right in half, and one trug split down the side. Still useful, but better ... MoreI have a black rubber Tub Trug from probably 15 years ago that has a more rubber like feel and the thing is indestructible, or close to it.

One of my Three Most Essential Garden Tools!!!

I LOVE this product!!! This is my second one as the dog chewed the handles off the old one. It is very durable and can easily handle the weight it holds. It is also light-weight, so it doesn't make the job any harder. I use it to haul water and then, since it is so flexible, it is easy to pour the water where I want it. I also use it to mix soil for planting, haul mulch, move plants around when replanting, store plants for a short while before replanting. It also works well when gathering vegetables or flowers. In a pinch, I've used it as a cooler for ice and drinks. The bright colors are also fun!! BTY - the other two essential gardening tools are Atlas gloves and trowel/bulb planter with serrated edge and depth marked on it.

Perfect size

I used these to reorganize my back porch collection of garden tools after my new kittens scattered everything around and showed me how inadequately they had been stored. The 3.5 gallon trugs are great for storing hand tools and shoes. Now everything is organized on the floor and the kittens can enjoy the windowsill without knocking my stuff down.

Pictures are misleading

I had a tub truck for years and used it multiple times a week for laundry. I wanted another one the same size and looked at the pictures, and looking at the pictures I look to be the same size as the 20 gallon truck. So I bought it on receiving it I saw how to I can't take it well in comparison and had no room for it. So now I have to return it and pay for the shipping I don't know how much the shipping is but I know it's going to be quite a bit. And now I am going to have to spend more money to buy the ones that I wanted to begin with. Thankfully the one description that I saw for the 11 gallon had the measurements in the description and concluded that was actually the one I needed though it looks very small in the picture. Then I looked at the 20 gallon one and ... MoreI had a tub truck for years and used it multiple times a week for laundry.

Red Gorilla Tub Trugs are the best multi-use tote

Tubtrugs now called Red Gorilla are the best, especially when you get them at a fair price with shipping included. I used them for yard work to collect debris and when transplanting/moving perennials around the garden beds. I also use them for laundry, to bring items inside the house that are stored in the the garage or basement. They last along time and can be easily cleaned with soap and water. Nice selection of colors and sizes. Highly recommend as multi-use tote.

Too bad about the packaging!

I love Tubtrugs! This is my 2nd order from Zoro. Unfortunately, it arrived squeezed into a smaller square box - because of this, it has never returned to its round shape. Too bad- poor packaging. Unless you like a very misshapen tubtrug
