Toro 29210 43-Gallon Gardening Spring Bucket

I have been extremely happy with this purchase. This product is really well constructed, sturdy and fits many uses while doing yard work. I like it a lot because:1. It has a quality, durable construction.2. It has well stitched handles that make it easy to carry it from place to place.3. You can use it for multiple tasks. -You can use it simply as a storage bucket to dump tools and stuff while working in yard moving from one area to another. -You can use it to collect all your leaves whether using the toro leaf collector or otherwise. -You can even stack paper bags inside this bucket as the bucket helps keep the bags stand vertical as you try and put leaves inside the bagsI can see some reviews mentioning of a lack of belt. I frankly don't think that that is a problem because if the bucket is not filled with anything extraordinarily heavy stuff [ie say filled completely (43 g of it) with wet leaves or so] then the two handles provided with it are adequate. On the other hand, if it is heavy then carrying it by two handles is better suited to you as you shall balance the weight with both hands. I cannot imagine a bucket completely filled being carried on a belt simply because it would be very unwieldy because of its volume.hope that helps

I used this spring bucket for my leafs this fall and the size is perfect. The bucket is strong and in good dimension to hold a ton of leafs. I used to wait till the leafs dry and shred them but since I have this bucket, I racked them while they were still wet so it's quite heavy by the time it's full. I dragged the bucket thru my yard appx 100 ft each trip so the handle and bottom has to be strong. It will be great to use for pruning, temporary outdoor party trash can and such.There's no zipper so if you wish to lower the height, you can always clip on one side so it's tilted in an angle or use other clipper like the ones come with most luggages these days or anything you have can make it work. There're little holes at the bottom so water can escape. I gave this a four stars because I wish it weigh a little lighter and I only used it this fall so yet to tell how well it holds up. I'll definitely recommend this product though.Feb 2013 Update:Added 1 star as I've been using this bucket for over 3 years now, and it still holds up very well. I even bought another one a year or 2 ago, in case this one breaks. Never had to open the new one and will probably stay in my closet for another few years. Love it!

Pop up containers are a dime a dozen, and some of them seem to be made for that amount of change. This is a standout in a sea of look-alikes and cheaply constructed imitations.To be fair, I never throw away trash into it without using a contractor grade 3-4mil bag. I'm sure it would hold up fine without the use of a liner, but seeing as there are strategic holes in the bottom for airflow... well, you get the idea. The metal coil which acts like a spring to keep the bucket upright doesn't pop up like a jack in the box, which may seem like a check mark in the "cons" list, but it is not. You can easily compress the bucket for storage, and easily expand it as well. No surprise whack in the face, not fear of the bucket launching unexpectedly. The action is smooth, the retaining buckles easily hold it secure.As I stated earlier, the several holes in the bottom are strategic. Their presence aids in putting in a liner when empty, and extracting it when full. The plastic material it is made of seems to be holding up well, and is firmly secured to the sidewall. I take care of my things, so I haven't dragged it across the driveway or gravel road, so I can't attest to that aspect of ruggedness. However, I have lifted it by the handles after loading it full of drywall, wood, and miscellaneous materials and everything held.All in all, if you're looking for a compact trash receptacle that will ACTUALLY do what you expect it to do while garnering you compliments, this is it.

While I have not used the spring bucket for yard work yet, I am impressed with how well it is constructed. The canvas material seems very durable. The springs are strong enough that they hold the bucket up firmly. The buckles that hold the bucket down when it is compressed for storage are also of seemingly high quality plastic and quite strong. The handles are well placed so that you have nice control when carrying from the top as well as nice control when holding the bucket at the top and bottom for dumping out debris such as leaves, etc. Where I live we can pile our leaves at the street and a crew comes through with a truck that has a big vaccuum hose that sucks up the leaves (later mulched to provide free leaf mulch to county residents). My yard is very hilly, with no access to the back by any wheeled device such as a wheel barrel. So each year I have to fill plastic lawn bags and drag them around front. The spring bucket will be MUCH easier to fill (very large opening), easier to carry, and much, much more durable. If I had an extra set of hands I'd buy another one in a second.

Love the size - you can get a lot of branches and leaves in this one! Very sturdy. I like the more solid bottom on this one as you can pull it along without wearing it thin. The holes on the bottom are great too. Love the clasps on each side and the fact that it has handles near the bottom as well as the top for easy emptying. Would highly recommend.

Excellent quality and good size

Grande capacité et robustesse (très appréciées)

these bags are even stronger , excellent

Works well with other Toro accessories. Closure for the sleeve that fits on top needs improvement.
