Just popped a quick video on YouTube with a comparison of two buckets after 18 months of service one bucket from us and one from another outfit.

Worth a quick look if it’s only for the bit about compensators and the damage that can be done by not keeping them cleaned out.

Try and last until the OUT-TAKES as big Joe makes an appearance 😂.

Another quality refurbished bucket away earning it’s keep.

No paint just good quality parts and good engineering.

Q. We get asked why we don’t paint refurbished buckets.

A. For a bucket to last it needs good quality parts, good engineering and nothing bodged up.

Paint does absolutely nothing apart from look good for a couple weeks and hide any bodge jobs. Hence the term “lipstick on a pig” or “5 gallon refurb”.

No paint = absolute transparency (you can see exactly what has been done).
