Bucket handle

I was in line at the paint counter at Home Depot and overheard someone asking for one of these.

After hearing comments on how much easier it is to carry 5gal. buckets all day, I followed him to get one myself.

These handle adapters are usually $2 or less and believe me if you're still lugging 5gal buckets it will soon be your hands best friend.

Thanks! I have a cattle trough out back to collect rainwater and haul all of the water into the house in six gallon buckets. One of the buckets is so old, the handle is completely gone.

Hey! For this thread to qualify being in this section - it has to be DIY, not something
you buy!

Now if you took a peice of old garden hose or pipe insulation and made yourself
a handle - I'd respect that.

I vote this thread be flagged for removal and Kevin flogged with a 5Gal bucket.

Look at the right hand side of the bucket you'll see the remaining half of the old handle.
That's the DIY you have to remove(cut off,move) the old handle yourself

OK. So if you go to Home Depot and buy the handle and put it on, it's DIY and it qualifies. If someone else does it for you, then it doesn't qualify.

Hey it would not be DIY if he paid somebody to replace the handle for him.

Paint, electric, plumbing and bucket repair!
