Customer Reviews for BUCKET BOSS 1.25 in. Cushioned Rubber Tool Bucket Grip Handle in Black

This is the greatest little accessory for a tool bucket. I’m just appointed that they’re not available in the stores and I have to order it online. This is my second purchase of this accessory. I mean look at the photo and decide for yourself which way you would want to carry this bucket with all these tools in it, this way, or with just the skinny white handle.

They may seem pricey at over $5 each, but, these handles are great and definitely worth it. I do tile work and carry a lot of water, sand, mortar, wet bed, & tools in buckets. Using the standard handle with heavy loads of around 50 lbs. each many times a day can take a toll on your hands. The worst was when the little plastic handle breaks off an otherwise good bucket. These handles slip right in and off, and even fit over the plastic handle that comes on the bucket, to provide a more comfortable grip with a lot less, if any, digging into your fingers. Even if you don’t use them as much as I do, having them on any bucket you use regularly with a wire handle will make a noticeable difference. It’s the little things in life. Thank you Bucket Boss and Home Depot

I saw some reviews of this product which said it smelled, but perhaps that was a bad batch. As to the handle, it's easy to get on, which means it's going to fall off if you're not careful, but I only put it on to carry the bucket. The plastic parts of bucket handles can disintegrate, which is why I got this, but it also fits over intact handles, which is a help when carrying a 5 gal bucket full of sand. I like it so much I've ordered some more. I find it quite comfortable to use.

This cushioned rubber is very comfortable to lift a tool bucket thank you for everything ?

The cushion does not stay on my bucket handle. I had to wrap duct tape around the handle, and it still isn’t fully secured.

These handles are terrible. They do not stay in one place and you have to constantly put they back on because they do not secure closed. Bring back the hard plastic Orange ones. They work awesome.

It works well, a big improvement.

These things are a lifesaver. Tile setter by trade, I carry a lot of buckets. These make the grip a comfortable diameter and softer. My fingers are shot from pushing a trowel all these years and bucket handles hurt. Not anymore.

Durability unknown, but does the trick for making the bucket much more comfortable to carry, especially when loaded down.

Most pail handles are about 1/8 inch in diameter. Look how the grip fits on a 1/8 inch handle. Looks like a lot of room for improvement huh!

What a great and handy gripper to help you lift/carry heavy buckets. No more cutting your hand/brusing when lifting heavy loads. Very convenient and easy to transfer to multiple objects.

This thing just really does not work well. First of all, you have to tape it in place if you want to keep it where it belongs. But even that doesn't really work cause every single time I pick up the bucket it's on, it's upside down. It just loosely fits around the white plastic thing on the handle. It's not a good design. It's a constant annoyance. It's cheap, so there is that, but it really does not work well. I would not recommend buying this.

Comfortable on the hand, much better than the cheep plastic handle buckets come with.

Protects hands from carrying bucket by thin metal handle

Love these handles, they fit on the bucket perfectly.

Good product but slides around on the handle so has to be taped.

We have been using the Bucket Boss grip handles for years. Yes, great for tool buckets and also great for any other kind of hand carried bucket. I have been using one on a galvanized bucket I use in the garden. Uses are multiple. Cost is VERY low for the high quality. Even when left in the sun, they do not degrade. Totally hand saving!

Is the best thing ever for handling 5 gal buckets of liquid

Mostly does the job. The rubber handle does stink very badly. Yikes! Horrid smell! Just this bad smell would be sufficient to not recommend this product. Slot in rubber has a knack of slipping off the bucket handle & ending up on the floor. Have to clip it back on almost every tome I use the bucket. Annoying!

Just note the handle is meant to go from bucket to bucket, will not stay on the handle by itself.

This grip has nothing to hold it in place on the wire bucket handle. It's just plastic with a slit; no snaps to keep it in place. I would have to duct tape it to keep it on the bucket, and if I'm going to that trouble I could just duct tape a bit of garden hose in place. I'll return it.

It keeps falling off the wire handle where the original plastic tube grip broke off my 5 gal bucket. OK when holding it but when I let go of the handle it slides off and I have to put it on again.

This grip has a very strong rubber order that doesn't go away and sticks yo everything it touches. It also rotates and not in correct position all the time. Over time the slot gets wider and grip falls off.

I have used these for years. If you need to move 5 gallon buckets or use them frequently these are a must have.
