I love getting hold of dryliner's buckets when they're finished with them, good for water and big floors but for normal usage a good 10l adhesive bucket is hard to beat.

The squad I served my time with never washed out buckets, always tapped them out when the adhesive set - you usually got a week or two out of a bucket before the apprentice put the hammer through the side of it. Amazing the time you save yourself in the day by washing a bucket clean at home time.

Just last week I had to throw my glue bucket of 5 years away.
Did aa job for a very wealthy client ,had to use quickset mixed alittle too much up , had nowhere to throw and the drive home was 90 mins,

Now my 5 year old water bucket has taken its place and i have a new clean bucket in the stable as well.

Im not tight, just got attached to my buckets , weve done plenty of jobs together and made lots of money.

You're all making me feel bad now! I go through them weekly! Although I have had my BAL one for a couple of months but only because I filled it with fixings and haven't got round to emptying it

I go through the cheap small focus builder buckets quickly....but my larger mixing tubs i try to look after...

Great forum. Its funny how we can get attached to buckets and maybe trowels but rarely get the same level of fondness for a level or nippers.

R.I.P mate, and when you feel right and had time to reflect. Get out there and get your self a new, younger, fitter bucket with a strong bottom and a tight handle. Itll knock 5 years off ya :lol:

Retrieved it from the skip yesterday - it didn't seem right just lying their next to a pair of old toilets. I'll dispose of it when I'm ready

A photo of Macten's bucket has been found!

Surely it can still serve in some way, eh?

I was proper gutted!! Truly!
Breaking out the Gorilla tomorrow but it wont be the same.
How do you time-served peeps get over the inevitable like this?

ten buckets all exactly the same removes some of the hurt and guilt when changing over......but it only numbs the pain....:8:
