Jeez, I thought I was fussy, but now I see I'm just a slobbish amateur.

The final piece of the puzzle arrived for my new buckets today..................
Most buckets come with a standard plastic sleeve handle — functional, but not much else. The Snappy Grip handles are a significant step up. Larger, contoured and noticeably more comfortable when you're lifting a full, heavy bucket.

And yet again, this is one of those tiny details that was hard to find in Australia, and more expensive than it should have been. Ideally, I'd have colour matched with the decals and Gamma Seals — red and blue — but black was the only colour I could make work. Watch, next week red and blue will suddenly appear.

Installation is straightforward. The Snappy Grips are a two-piece design that clip over the existing handle — but first, the original plastic sleeve needs to come off. A sharp utility knife does the job; I supported the handle with a towel to avoid taking a finger with it. Once clear, each half of the Snappy Grip clips together over the handle. Done.
The difference is hard to put into words, but you feel it immediately. Substantially larger, contoured in all the right places — lifting a full bucket just feels better. At $2.50 USD, it's a no-brainer. At $11.90 AUD, the maths doesn't quite hold up — but I'm glad I went ahead anyway.
