"A great and easy to install and use water bucket bracket"
"These bucket holders are ok for light use, but have two design weaknesses and are not substantial for heavy use. At $22 each we were hopeful that they would be much more sturdy. * The lip on the back is what should hold the bucket to the wall. Unfortunately the lip does not fit the majority of our Fortiflex buckets because those buckets have more curve. If the lip does not snug down the bucket, the holder is no better than an eye screw with clip. Lip works for some of our feed buckets. * The pin configuration that holds up the bucket handle is a significant design flaw. Certainly not “Easy Up”! We take our feed buckets out of the stall several times a week to scrub them. The pin configuration is a straight bolt with a locking nut on the bottom. Certainly not fast nor convenient if the buckets need to be dumped or washed. Very easy to loose the nut. We replaced the pin with a spring pin configuration which is MUCH better. (picture attached)"
"I previously reviewed the inefficient design. Adding to that review that the lip that secures the buckets (that fit) has a weak weld. The one broke within 2 days of (moderate) use. See picture"

We will attempt to return them for refund to purchase something both sturdy and efficient."
"The metal holder itself appears to be heavy duty enough to prevent the an average bored horses from breaking it and the powder coating looks durable and safe. The bucket "lip" holder could be better designed ; it is barely adequate for the flat backed 5 gallon buckets we use. Again, a bored horse probably won't tip their bucket much. I tried to and it would take a very full bucket and a very enterprising horse to splash a lot of water out. The pin hardware holding the bucket handle in place is a terrible design unless you never want to empty and clean out a bucket. Not only is it hard to tighten and loosen, and I have small hands, but the tiny nut is easily dropped in the water or in the stall bedding. We replaced it with a lock pin but that required a trip to the hardware store carrying the bucket holder to make sure it fit both holes (luckily we had another one we hadn't installed yet). Better than just using an eye bolt and double ended snap as long as you replace the pin with something more usable."
"Best bucket holder, simple, easy to install, holds up well even with those horses who think buckets are toys!"
"I ordered two of these as a perfect solution to limit bucket tipping. On arrival and installation they looked like they would do the job. However within 48 hours the metal piece that hold the bucket snapped right off and the feed fell to the ground. On inspection it looks like a very weak weld held this plate in place. I am surprised it's not cast as one piece. Perhaps I got a poorly welded one. I had ordered one for each stall but didn't even get the 2nd up before this one crashed. So I have now put up the 2nd one in it's place. I have pictures to show the weld separation. I am hopeful I just got a bad one as I was pumped to install these."
"Exactly as described and exactly what I needed for our new Dura-Tech Platinum Bucket!"
