didn't work

I bought it locally and it didn't work. It felt really cheaply made.

I used it in different solutions to test it the readings seldom changed.

Toro Spring Bucket

If you are looking for one off these collapsable containers this is the one to get. Its constructed out of heavy/durable material and quite well built. The thing that makes the Torro unit much better than the Fiskars offering is its much larger size. The smaller Fiskars unit may be better suited for Grandma. The price bounces around so get it when its on sale.More detail ...

This item rocks!

Worth every penny why didn't we buy this sooner?! At our horse barn we have running water but kept getting our feet wet trying to wash our hands. Our kids were constantly soaked. We mounted this sink to piece of plywood then a 4x4 post ran the drain tubing into a 10 foot piece of pvc to further remove the run off and voila! No more mud puddle or wet kids! The only complaint I might have is that it is small/narrow and the hose nozzle we had stuck out 1/2 way into the bowl. We ended up taking that off and when you need to wash your hands you turn the water on low step back to the sink and wash the step back over and turn the water off. Adults can use a hose with the nozzle but it's too much to get on for small children. To the manufacturer I would suggest making it wider left to right and adding a sunken indentation for a bottle of soap? We just leave ours in the bowl.More detail ...

Check their other products first.

I haven't tried the other Brush Grubber products but buying this one first was a mistake. Maybe a mistake period.



I tried pulling out about 1/2 dozen assorted bushes and small trees and had what I would consider a 50% success rate.



The first problem is that the instructions tell you to face the welded cross links inside towards the bush; good luck on that. The chains twist and the attached free moving rings cause the three chains to become improperly oriented as one or the other chains slips to the other side of the ring thru normal use. It is Rubik's Cube trying to unravel them as the instructional photo demonstrates proper application.



Secondly the choking actions sounds a lot better than it works. You really have to get the collar at or below the "knot" where the branches form to get a grip that doesn't slip. All my tries slipped even the ones that worked. I think that the inability to get this chain low enough is going to be the case on most plantings due to age of the planting or debris build up around the base



Thirdly I pulled the ring into an oval on the third bush I tried. That was an older flowering quince that I had all I could do to get the 3 foot or so chain around it at all. It was about 1 foot in diameter at the base. I was using a Ford 1700 diesel 4 wheel drive tractor and it didn't budge it. The chain would not stay at the base of the plant period.



I plan to try one of their other products. However I think their engineers need to go back to the drawing board on this one. Fix the chains on each ring so they do not lose orientation possibly strengthen the rings and increase the overall traction of the chains. I would even consider tacking the chains together along their length to maintain orientation because when the cross links face out they actually impede the choking action as they bind on the slip rings.



I wouldn't buy it again I am not so sure it is lot better than more ordinary solutions in its present form.More detail ...
