The best mixing tubs? - TilersForums.com

Are they a rigid or flexible plastic?

Rigid.

Somebody said to me years ago with the gorilla type tubs it depends on the handle positioning . Some handles go up online with the tub ,these are better . Some handles poke out to the side, these are not so good because as you lift them you bend the top of the bucket which eventually leads to premature breakage .

Good bucket

Bad bucket

for what they cost Andy, just buy a new one ever couple of weeks and donate your old ones to a electrician with a dust pan and brush.

And they'll look at you with a blank, confused expression...

Don't use them with white grout or you'll get orange dust in it.

Always colour match buckets to the grout, first thing I learnt that as a trainee

I'm not too surprised.

They're pretty good with plastic
