- Brands: Hefty, Glad, Kirkland, Amazon Basics, Reli, Neat, T.Foring, Full Circle, Commander, EKO, Perk, Steelcoat, Ox Plastics, HIPPO SAK, Tuff Bros, Hold On. Let’s compare a bunch of trash bag brands and find out which ones are leakers and which ones aren’t. We’ll also test a whole bunch of things like drawstring strength, puncture resistance, tear resistance, strength of the seam, gripping strength on the rim of the trash can, and more! By the end of this review, I believe you’ll be able to make a much more informed purchasing decision!
I buy all of the products that I test and the supplies used for the testing to ensure unbiased reviews. So, thank you for supporting the channel!

This is the content TH-cam is for.
Yes!
Thank you and hope you enjoy the video!
yes!
The video I didn't even know I needed but I'm glad it was done.
@@ProjectFarm Well heck helps if I watch the video before posting lol Their amazing bags the Kirkland's.
My guy is single handedly replacing consumer reports and I trust this cat more than I trust consumer reports tbh. Another great video that's directly applicable and brings value to my everyday life. Premium channel
He replaced consumer reports for me a couple years ago! haha This guy is the best.
CR has gone very much to upscale products. Tide laundry powder wasn't tested as the 'consumers' mostly use the pods.
I thought that they were to GUIDE you to the best products at a price point. Ignoring the least expensive alternatives helps who?
Consumer Reports has been taking manufacturers money for at least 20 years. They have never been trustworthy.
If there were a way to calculate a "dollar value" that somehow included ALL the benefits we gain from these videos individually; I can't even begin to imagine what that number might look like.
Consumer reports has been taking manufacturers money for decades now.
I can't believe I watched a 20+ minute on trash bags, yet not a single minute was wasted. I love Project Farm videos as there's no need to skip any part of the video, there's no BS to skip past. It's right down to business on every single test! Great job!
Thanks so much!
Me too man! One of my favorite channels on TH-cam! I love the integrity of Project Farm!!
Not a single minute of a trash bag video was _wasted_? 😂
I can't even buy any of thoses trashbags, but still enjoyed the methodology
@@ThatMattWhite You caught onto my little pun, nice one! 😊
Fun fact: Kirkland Signature, and HDX are both made by Poly America in Grand Prairie, Texas. Their house brand is Husky, and they also make generic walmart's great value and sam's club member's mark, along with a few other generic brands. I'm a truck driver for Poly ;)
Poly America has multiple facilities. I used to pick up from one of theirs in Chester, SC. I only ever saw Husky in the trailer but that is probably because I delivered to Home Depot.
Thanks for the constructive feedback.
@saruwatarikooji You're right, they're also in chester and westminster sc, henderson nv, cottage grove mn, and la porte, tx. They have those locations to cut the shipping distance, and be closer to source materials
Please include Kirkland and sams club brands in your future tests
And their quality is phenomenal!
Todd, I think you are the only person on our planet that can make testing trashbags interesting to watch. Love your channel.
Thanks!
It's true. When I think about the stuff he has tested and I (along with all of us subscribers) have watched a 25-minute video thinking, 'yep, this is good stuff.' I gotta admit, though, what are people putting in their kitchen trash bags that we're testing nuts and bolts? They drive home the point about the respective toughness and durability. I don't want to jinx myself, but I shop at BJ's for most of my stuff, so I use their kitchen bags. So far, so good.
@@bikeny Think you broke a dish and tossed it in the bottom then jammed a bunch of milk cartons and cardboard on top... Then someone put something wet in there. Which bag is going to cut with the broken glass and leave a huge mess? Nuts and bolts was a good idea imo.
I really don’t think you comprehend how excited I get when I see you upload the most “mundane” things. Like this is something I will have to buy for the rest of my life and I genuinely can’t wait to see who actually earns my money
Thanks!
Beautifully said!
I was about to write something similar and saw your comment as soon as I opened them. This is exactly how I feel about these videos. Super informative and helpful.
mom wake up he's doing pencils !!
@@sapincher I’d actually love to see him do pens/pencils. The tests would be amazing like a treadmill made of paper to test endurance
OHHH YEAH !!! You did it... THRASH BAGS!
" I Want-A *_Trash BAG !!"_* . . . . . now, lets see how old you are.
HA! I watched your codless tesla video. Funny how youtube is sometimes. Cheers from projectfarmland!
Love this channel fr. For years now
@@RANDOMNATION907 Murdock is awesome
And you said it couldn’t be done 🎉🎉
Bruh! I was just about to post the same thing. Finally he exposes the shitty bags!
Everyone is joking, but this video is very helpful if you're someone who takes out most of the trash in your house. Nothing worse than a cheap bag ripping in the yard and you having to pick up everything that fell out.
Good Point!
Even worse if its the diaper pail bag.
Worse yet is having to pick everything up off the apartment building hallway floor. At least in the yard you can ignore the coffee grounds and such.
I feel validated on my passionate stance of K-Sig trash bags > everything
Try having to pick up a bunch of poop and pee diapers that just dumped out all over the bedroom floor because the diaper pail was too full while you were trying to pull the bag out. Worst smell ever.
I cannot believe that I just watched a 20+ minute video on trash bags. Just more proof that I can enjoy ANY video that PF makes. He is the G.O.A.T.
He tested that
Exactly
@@pimpnick4920 : 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
I watch at 3x speed
Dude's living life right
This man is a national treasure. Hard working people deserve to have resources they can trust for our consumer goods and Todd deserves all his flowers for being one of the only ones out there we can genuinely put our faith into. Thank you for everything you do and don’t ever change. You have integrity which is something that no amount of money is worth sacrificing.
I cannot begin to express how excited I was when I saw this thumbnail on my feed. I feel I’ve been wanting this video for the majority of my adult life. Thank you!
You could have watched it before commenting. I'm here 6 minutes after release of a 23 min video and I can't enjoy it because of your jaberjawing.
Awesome! Thank you!
@@MindBodySoulOkshush. There's nothing wrong with commenting that he was excited to watch this particular video.
@@MindBodySoulOk You can’t enjoy the video because you were distracted by the comments? This is a (very solvable) you problem my guy 😊
@@MindBodySoulOk Bots these days...
3.11M subscribers: If anyone wonders how Todd can afford to buy all this stuff, look no further.
And that's awesome: He's independent of the manufacturers and doesn't need their cash (or their free products) to rate their products. These tests are as objective as it gets.
One of the most satisfying, enjoyable, and honest YT channels there is.
Thanks! Among the 3.11M subscribers I am very grateful for the Patreons and Channel supporters to make these tests possible!
You are every homeowner, dad, handyman, DIY'ers best buddy.
Thanks!
You are a consumer's best friend. I never go to purchase anything without checking your content first. Best channel on TH-cam, by far!
Thanks so much!
@@ProjectFarm100% Todd. You are NOT just testing out products we can buy - its way more important than that. 99% of social media is bought & paid for on the internet now & its getting harder & harder as the years go by to LEARN real information from the internet. I really miss the days of online forums at their peak....but now we have people like you. A SINCERE heartfelt thank you for deciding to never take on sponsors. I'm from the midwest myself & you have those values running DEEP. Thanks man.
Can we thank this man for putting the scare in all manufacturers’ claims? Cheers Todd.
Thanks!
This might be a long shot, but could you test dishwasher and/or washing machine detergent? Different brands, plus liquid vs powder vs pods? That would be so cool to see!
I seriously love your videos so much. Thank you for all that you do!
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
Good one, our sewage cleaner guy says dont use pods or powder use liquid only as it cakes sewage.
Cascade Platinum. I just went through this personally, CLEAR winner.
This. And don't forget to fill the pre-wash compartment with the powder and liquid detergent.
Also, using two different dishwashers (a basic, cheap one and a high end one) would be interesting as well. Maybe paying the extra upfront cost of a high end dishwasher will pay itself over time by allowing cheaper detergent to get the dishes clean?
i reccomend checking out TechnologyConnections multiple videos on dishwashers and pods and liquid detergent. He doesn't pit brands against eachother but there are tons of ways to improve your washing even keeping the same brands.
Project Farm!
U sir are the modern day era of "Consumer Reports" because of the honest reviews you show us here in the jungle of good/bad companies or products.
Thank you again for all of the hard work you go thru to give us the Real Reality of what we buy.........
3 cheers for "Project Farm!"😊
Thanks!
Totally agree Bugz - this is today's version of consumer reports.
We have used the Kirkland bags for years and I can confirm they are excellent! Never any leaks, extremely durable, and very inexpensive. Let’s just hope they never change!
Thanks for sharing!
@@ProjectFarm you should make a portable bandsaw video.
I would have to agree. The Kirkland follow the general Costco philosophy of best bang for the buck.
I wouldn't count on it. I know that after using them for years, the Kirkland paper towels have gone to crap. Now thin as toilet paper and no longer individually wrapped in the bundle.
My folks and I use Kirkland as well.
I live in Indonesia so none of these products are sold here but I can't stop watching your videos. Thanks for the entertainment.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
we are heavy truck manufacture in china~all car filter can be offered.make a friend
@@fan-yq8oo You are a THIEF trying to sell your stuff using other people's hard work. Make your own video.😡
If I wasn't such a geek I would have never watched this. But, as lab technician, I simply love watching the way you test things.
Thanks!
The Kirkland bags are under $20 for 200 bags in store. About $0.10 per bag. Definitely an amazing value.
Love Costco and their Kirkland Brand. For most products, they might not be the best, but they are definitely above average and definitely the best bang-for-the-buck IMHO.
Sams club has their bags at $0.08 per bag and I’m 98% sure they’re the exact same bag. They come out of the box the same, are the same color and texture, and have the same writing in the same place.
I have yet to have a COSTCO 13 gallon bag fail. The best garbage bag.
@NotParticularlyAmused they are exactly the same
@NotParticularlyAmusedha garbage
I work for Costco. I have liked a lot of the stuff in the Kirkland Signature line, but it's nice to see the brand be tested by you. You can't always rely on a single brand to make so many different things well. You have an amazing channel for helping people find a good product for their needs.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Kirkland to Costco seems to be the Kenmore/Craftsmen of Sears.
Most of the Kirkland labels are just main brands bought by Kirkland. I know for a fact that the Kirkland batteries are just Duracells, but cheaper because they have the Kirkland brand on them.
I was cheering for Kirkland bags - my favorite brand didn't screw up. Great thanks to PF for such an entertaining video! 😀
I knew a grandmother of a friend that worked in Sears corporate. She always said their house labels were always the low bid for that year. @@cmndrkool321
I love when you do Kitchen/Home Goods. It feels like there's so many options when buying, it's nice to have a solid non-biased tester I can trust.
Thanks!
You are a savior for the serial second guesser. I lose sleep over the opportunity cost when purchasing things like trash bags. Never again! Thanks brother.
Thanks and you are welcome!
God Bless Todd and all his work. I've slowly become the type of consumer who won't buy something without checking if Todd has a video out for it first. Thank you for the amazing content throughout the years
Thank you very much! This means a lot to me and keeps me going every week!!
You aren’t the only one.
Todd is the man, doing the lords work for the rest of us, white new balance wearing, tall boy buying on Saturday afternoon while getting trimmer and mower fuel, enjoying his content on a Sunday. Clean content.
Amen
Same here 😂
I've been looking to make a trash bag switch as i am not satisfied with hefty lately. This helps big time!
I really like how your videos flow
You speak fast enough to not droll on but not too fast. No nonsense chattering on while still being entertaining
You are the best on the net at what you do.
Thanks for sharing!
An A+ for Costco vs B for Amazon. Both bags work for the price, and performance was within 5-8% of each other. They should be 1 and 3, respectively.
I can die a happy man. I actually smiled watching a grown man testing trash bags. I actually needed this. I go through a 30 piece box of Glad trash bags every week and and a half. I always bought "glad" bags. Now I might go for the others.
I always bought Hefty, and noticed a distinct drop in quality some years back. I've been swearing that they don't make them like they used to and this video seems to validate that belief. Time to switch.
Least wasteful american
You run a company or have a family of 10?? Lol
30 bags every week? At my house a box of thirty bags would last over three months, two used per week. We recycle whatever we can to reduce what goes into the bags.
@@stevebabiak6997I use them at two locations. One church campus and other computer repair and metal shop. Yep its alot. We buy bulk, so this was right up my alley. I'm the music director and computer engineer, but somehow got stuck with getting trash bags. I usually get stuff from BJs. At my home shop and house I might use 3 a week and dump it in the pickup trash can. In one weekend the church will go through 6 bags. Its about every 10 days 30 bags. Women throw away alot of stuff. Its more than men.
I love how analytical this channel is when the content is focused on determining quality of products. Genuinely really helpful and helps me determine which brands I trust personally
Thanks so much!
OMG I let out an audible sigh of relief when I saw that the test subject is trash bags! 😆
There is nothing worse than spending your time cleaning a big household mess, and the bag gives out as you are walking it out, and creates a 10x bigger mess.
Thanks for doing this!
You just buy the bag with the thickest (mil) measurement on the box. For example a decent Lawn and leaf bag will have a 1.5 mil. A better one is 2 mil and a cheaper one is 1 mil or under.
You are welcome!
Awesome review....better than consumer reports! 👍
I had a hefty bag of cat litter break open like 2 feet from my trash bag outside. Not fun
@@gags730 That's a completely unreliable way of measuring strength of a trash bag. There are many types of materials that are used for them, and their thickness just makes them stronger than the thinner ones of the same material, but says nothing about either the materials strength itself nor the quality of the making (being leakproof, weak seam etc.).
This has to be one of the most genuine TH-cam channels. Nothing but pure content
Thanks!
Yup. He is not trying to gain clout, show off, "prank," or any gimmick. Just pure genuine content.
Of all the shootouts on PF, never have I ever heard "Made in USA" this many times, LOVE IT! Nice to hear and great tests PF! I've been buying Kirkland for years, glad to know I'm getting my money's worth!
Thanks!
I commented for trash bag brands like 3 years ago and it's finally a video I'm so happy
On behalf of every man who expanded the vocabulary of all the kids in the neighborhood while taking out the trash, thanx and keep the great videos coming.
Thanks, will do!
Yes, I just spent 23 minutes of my life watching trash bags be tested. So much more informative and rewarding than watching the news.
The news has more garbage in it than all those trash bags combined could hold
The "news" is brought to you from the Clowns at Langley, via Operation Mockingbird. Their paid Presstitutes just regurgitate from the script they are given.
Watching just about anything is more informative than watching the news nowadays.
I did the same, at 1:30 in the morning.
Thanks!
I'm not even interested in changing trash bags, but your channel is so addictive and informative. You are the real consumer report. You don't even charge for the content. ❤❤
Thanks for watching!
And no sponsors! :D
He's not biased, unlike consumer reports.
Us Alaskans buy everything from Costco so Kirkland it is. However we also have a full winter of dog poop to pick up in the spring. I now know that need some ox bags for over 100# of dog poop to pickup next month.
The creative ways you have to test these limits never ceases to make me chuckle.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy!
Just ran out of my box of trash bags. This couldn't have come out at a better time!
Perfect timing! Thank you
Same lol
I can't get over just how jazzed you are to be doing all this from top to bottom. You really made something special here, and we all have a blast together. Thank you.
amen man.
@@MarkTrades__ Or perhaps "Aman"😉
You are welcome!
I have been a subscriber for years, back to the Seafoam in the Ranger tests. As a recently retired plastics engineer I have to say many of your tests are similar to industry tests. Tensil, tear, puncture all have ASTM standards used by everyone. One thing to consider is the thickness and formulation of the plastics in the bags. All bags are made to a pricepoint. Companies vary the resin mixes along with thickness to get the price they need to be competitive. At each of the manufactures I have worked at ( 8 by the way), they all have fit, leak and performance tests, similar but remarkably home made. Good Job on this review.
Lol yep... it's been crazy watching Todd evolve! I would watch all his vids... but I think the day we knew he was gonna explode, was the day he did the JB Weld Chain link video!!!
I dream about having the trash bag company CEO sleeping with 1 of their bags, full of water, hanging over their bed. Now THAT would be a test!
@@Bob_Adkins lol suddenly - bulletproof trash bags everywhere for 10 cents/piece!!! hahahahaha
If I remember my materials science course from way back in the stone ages, the strength of plastic is relative to the speed at which it is pulled. A fast pull doesn't give the chains long enough time to straighten out, whereas a slower pull will allow them to straighten out and then it is more difficult to shear them in the long direction (Or am I wrong?) I seem to remember the professor saying you can actually see it happen with your naked eyes as the plastic deforms and becomes thinner yet stronger.
Yes, those are the stretch marks you can see in the video when he is lifting up on them. Happens a lot as you mix recycled with stretchy resins. Everything is a comprimise.@@The3chordwonder
I have been buying Kirkland trash bags for years and was always impressed with them. Now, after this torture test….I will continue to buy these bags from Costco. I really enjoy all your videos and taking the time to do these tests! Keep up the great work and can’t wait to see your next video.
Thanks, will do!
Really enjoy how straight to the point of business Project Farm is. No bs, no endless talking, and very well thought out real world testing. Great video PF!
Thanks!
Not only do you provide useful information, but you also help me to look at things a little differently. Your analytical approach to things is impressive!
Thanks!
This has been and is the way
Thank you for including country of origin with the product info when possible. I always like hearing that in testing videos as it's something to consider when spending money.
You are welcome!
You are made of different stuff, guy. The depth of the testing, the unflinching presentation, even the annoying way that you say "USA" instead of "the USA", I simply cannot think of a better person to do what you do. After all these years, you're still making absolutely top notch content. Seriously, thank you.
Who else loves when Todd makes jokes and puns for the brand and product names? They always get a giggle-snort from me.
Imagine the engineers start sweating when they see this guy test their products. Best reviewer on the tube.
Thanks!
I truly love this channel. From purchasing new tools to simple things like replacing the brand of garbage bag i use. You have saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars thank you so much project farm!
You are welcome!
slight correction: holdon is manufactured in china and is a US company. They only claim Austrian certification for some reason, yet their homepage doesn’t reflect that.
Thanks for the constructive feedback
Hand in hand with this, is garbage cans. Some of them are better than others with different features that can help or harm garbage bags. I'd be interested in seeing those tested. And a few other ideas that my wife asked about:
• Garbage disposals.
• Those rotary scrubber gadgets that are all over the place now.
• Hardwood/Tile cleaning wands.
Thanks for all the work you put into these!
Yeah, but at least I’ve never seen a trash can blow out. Oh, wait…
I use the same Kirkland bags and have never had any problems with them. They hold on to my trash can very good never coming off the rim. Very rarely do the draw strings break but when they do it's because I pull on them way too hard. Great video and I'm glad you had the Kirkland's in there.
Thanks for sharing.
I am consistently impressed at your affinity for creating testing procedures for various products. This is what keeps me relying on you for realistic information.
THANKS!
For years I have been hooked on the Hippo Sak 13 gallon Strong Handles. I first discovered their greatness when I realized I could literally FILL the bags with wet laundry, sling them over my back, walk 100 yards to the wash room and the bag wouldn't even stretch out let alone fail. I suspect today they may not be quite as strong but still light years better than anything else out there at $3 for a 15 count.
Thanks for the feedback.
this guy could review cow patties from various species and i would still sign up to watch every second, thank you for the constant great reviews
Wow, thanks
How 'bout buffalo chips,?
Or which bullets are best for "shooting the 💩"
🤣
Don’t underestimate the ostrich.
LMFAO ! Yep !
I can't believe I just watched 20 minutes about trash bags. Well worth it sir.
Thanks!
Idk how you do it, but you consistently identify problems that are very frustrating but get shrugged off because you just get used to them. I felt this one to my core! Very impressive!
Thanks!
Dude, seriously.... only YOU could make the Internet want to watch a 20 minute video about trash bags. I can't wait for season 2!
Thanks! Thanks for supporting the channel! I really appreciate it!
Ive waited for garbage bags to be tested by you for a while now and Im not disappointed. I love the tool tests too but something like this appeals to a much wider spectrum of people, EVERYONE uses garbage bags. Id love to see more videos of everyday home essential items like this.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
this may be the best project farm yet! mega props to whoever suggested this!
Thank you! Seems like a topic that will help just about everyone!
Been buying Kirkland for several years. Happy to see how they rate here. Will keep buying them. Thanks for the validation!
My pleasure!
Me as well and I’ve come to realize that Costco can be pretty well trusted not only for their Kirkland brand but their picks of other brands as well.
@@gumonthepantsThat's a somewhat famous part of their company philosophy which seems to emphasize having quality products at relatively inexpensive prices to fund things like competitive wages for their employees.
Not to mention you get like 500 of them
@@Tawnos_ - why not use “contractor trash bags” that you can buy at the local hardware stores? More expensive maybe, but they are the most durable bags that I have used.
The Consumer Reports that YT needed!
I love this, thank you for all your work here!
Thanks and you are welcome!
This! I needed this! Thanks for your hard work. I know you are popular for destroying tools and generators, but your home goods videos are super helpful. Have a great weekend.
Glad it was helpful!
This channel has shaped my buying habits more than anything in the world. I don't buy the cheapest things anymore, ironically enough, because I'm cheap! I like my dollar to go as far as possible and that almost always means avoiding the cheapest stuff. This channel proves that, time and time again. Thank you for the awesome content!
Todd is great at finding the things that give us the best bang for buck. I'm grateful for him doing this testing so we common folk don't have to.
Buy once, cry once 😊
This was oddly amazing. And I was rooting for Kirkland like it was my team in the Super Bowl!
Lol same here.
Team Kirkland 😂 for the price can’t be beat
Same, haha.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
I love this because I get to pick a horse in the beginning and watch it run! Who would have thought this would be the content I’d be consuming as an adult
Thanks for watching!
I like the competitive nature of Todd's tests also. He's a great marketing tactician (and doesn't realize it I don't think because his system is so rarely personally manipulative in any way. I only say that because I can tell by his level of excitement about something which he prefers. NBD. That adds to the competition.) I enjoy picking the horse too and there's a lot of social confirmation picking the item that you want to "win." They're fun and fast paced and informational and solid for "everyday" people.
I work in the Glad plant that makes those bags. I'm stoked they got #1!! I'm going to share this with my managers!!!
This video affirms my feelings on Kirkland trash bags. I've been buying them for several years now and I've always been happy with the way they performed relative to the other brands that I would have to buy once in a while if I ran out before a Costco trip. The thick top portion is key because I pack my trash cans and boy are they heavy when I pull them out by that top couple inches yet I rarely if ever have a tear when doing so. I can't remember the last time a trash bag tore open.
Thanks for sharing.
Yes! I'm sure I wasn't the only person to recommend trash bag testing, but I'm ecstatic that it finally happened. It's not the flashiest topic, but it certainly impacts a massive audience.
Thanks for sharing!
Most complete set of protocols I've seen with your testing. Oustanding, Thanks! Excellent and have used Kirkland's for years.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Ive used this channel for years for helping make decisions on products, recently ive had an issue finding a good trash bag, came to TH-cam a month ago seeing if protect farm covered this yet. Disappointed that there wasnt any great info but a month later here you are to savebthe day,thank you for all your greatwork/testingnover the years!
You are welcome!
I've been using the Kirkland bags for decades now and this puts a smile on my face.
Glad to hear!
A very necessary video. Nothing sucks like having a bag of garbage blow out on the way to the dumpster.
Thanks! Good Point!
Keep up the great work, you're the best resource us consumers have ever had. Have you considered testing insulated lunch containers? Lots of options and I'm sure you could come up with creative tests.
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the suggestion.
I was watching this on the TV and my wife stopped in her tracks to watch. She said "finally your guy is reviewing something useful for us women". She was glued to this video because we use the Costco bags! Going to continue to stick with them after seeing your tests.
Keep up the great work Todd!
I think costco is the value winner, its half the price of the winner and still in the top 3, plus they go on sale about every other week for a couple dollars less!
@@francisaguilar6628 100% agreed! We have had good experiences with them for over a decade. Before Costco, we used Glad. And from our experience, although glad was better, Costco bags were not bad at all, especially when they cost 40% less. That's why we stuck with Costco.
Most of his reviews are useful to this woman. He even made a video from one of my requests, gun oil.
Thanks, will do!
I never thought I would be watching a trash bag test this extensive in my life and on a Sunday to boot. I watch all of them, Thanks.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
My dad and I usually watch this channel… but now it’s a family affair and my mom is hooked ! If only I could get Taryl Fix’s all and Mustie1 on her Sunday routine then I’ll be in heaven
Thanks for the feedback.
I spend more for the Husky 3 mil Contractor bags. 1 bag a week, and the trash always makes it to the dumpster and not all over the place. Great video!
Thanks!
Man goes off and buys a lifetime supply of rubbish bags to make a video. Absolute legend
He's set for quite a while, at least with all but a few low scoring brands 😂
Lol
The Kirkland bags are one of the only things we still regularly buy from Costco. It's good to see they tested so well! I'm not a fan of the box, though. It dispenses fine when laying flat, but not when standing up, which is how we prefer to store it.
If those Ox bags had a draw string, I'd be switching. That was Very Impressive!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Works fine standing up, if you take off the end (now the top) of the box.
Suggested video: Best SAFETY REFLECTIVE VEST, for construction sites, warehouse, deliveries etc. - which one reflects better at night, zipper or velcro quality, overall durability test.
Thank you for the video idea!
Thats not interesting.
Viking.
Only vest that has an outside pocket big enough to hold a Surveyor field book.
@@ProjectFarm do us all a favor and test odor retention on them.
Excellent and comprehensive as always - exactly why I subscribe and am a Patreon member; this quality of video and information is TH-cam at its finest, providing a great service to the viewer community, and must continue. Thank you again for a great contribution to our consumer's database of facts.
Thanks so much!
Great test. Not really related to your test, but one of the best mods I've made was drilling four 1/2" holes in the side of our trash can 2 down low a few inches from the bottom, and 2 near the top. It makes it so much easier for the air to escape from between the bag and then for the can to release the bag when it's full. I imagine pulling the bag out against the vacuum would be a common failure point.
I did same except made my holes in very bottom of the bucket. I think yours is the better idea & will try that with my next trash bucket. 🎉🎉
I did this too and it’s a great modification! It really makes me wonder why the trash cans themselves aren’t shipped with this “feature”!!
Maybe the manufacturer considers “liquid retention” a higher ranking priority than convenience of trash bag install/removal!
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Done this also...just two holes in the back, though.
YEAAAAÀAAH
Perfect Project Farm, something I never thought to suggest be really need.
Recommendation construction and clean up bags!!!!!! Yard waste and construction bags are pricey, but everyone I know just uses the bag they always have.
As a contractor I spend at lease a $100 a month on bags.
Do a re-usablility test!
It's better to have a bag instead of a trash can on a roof, ladder and crawlspace.
Include a drag test full of material. Broken tile would be good but for consistency use 6" or 8" rectangular POCELAIN tile. It's less likely to break and mess up the test with a point.
Include dust, sawdust in each drag test. Then test how much leaves out after the tile test. Hang a bag full and shake it? Put it on a shaker table? Concrete form vibrator is what you want 2 for under a 100 is easy. Heavier check out Denver Vibrator. Reasonable prices. Bet they would give you a deal for a recommendation, since the vibrator isn't being rated no conflict of interest.
A lot of people want a good vibrator. Cleaning material and reloading shells in a commercial level vibration table for under 200 ( if you can weld), is great.
I'll post this in the community area also.
Thank you for the video ideas!
+1 for this video topic. There are these bags come in a pack of like 10 or so and are made out of tarp like material. Comparing those against stuff like Walmart hyper tough 55gal heavy duty bags (various sizes 2-3mils thick) vs. whatever else is out there.
@@ProjectFarmhere to tell you that Walmart oil no good it burn fast in a Chevy. Only last 2000 miles I thought something was wrong with my wife car.. I tried it just to see how fast it burn.
As a big fan of Kirkland Signature I am glad to see you adding them to your tests. Great job as always!!
Thanks!
That puncture test is ingenious sir. Bravo on this testing, best review channel by far!
Thank you for being so dedicated. You have saved me from wasting my money. Hear me out, soap bars, like Dove, Yardley, Dail, Olay, Irish Spring, and Dr. Squatch.
Costco soap. Don't knock it till you tried it. That said, I use the occasional castile soap from Dr. Bronners from time to time.
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestions.
I don't think I would've evercome up with such an overlooked test subject. Thanks community and thank you Project Farm all the great content and reviews.
You are welcome!
FINALLY! I have been looking for a bag to dispose of human body parts in and now I know that the most tear-resistant and leak-proof is the Ox.
Thanks Todd! :)
finally dexter will stop having issues in living his lifestyle & bringing evil doers to justice in his own way 😜
Todd: "We're gonna test that with Cousin Eddie".
"......but the process for removing the water went a whole lot faster." That was priceless! LOL!
I give you a thumbs up, even before I watch the video, because I know you are going to test the crap out of it
Thank you very much!
This video uploaded 47 minutes ago and already 18k+ views, all 100% deserved!!
everyone's always excited for new project farm!haha
Thanks!
Well, Commander, you did it again! The puncture resistance and tear strength did me in but the rest of the tests were over the top too! If and when I have metal scraps I usually just have a 5-gallon bucket that needs to go with the steel and if we ever get into anything absurd, we use the big contractor bags or work it out with our trash guy ahead of time. Sweetums freezes liquid stuff so it goes into the trashmobile in a block and will melt later and we usually just get the bags that are the cheapest and don't overfill. Usually 3 a week and they're able to be slung into the trash truck bed without ripping. I deal with and without bags with tie straps and having to try and find the sides to open the bags up but whatever is here is what gets used. Hope things are mighty moderate down on the Farm and winter is winding down. Buds opening on the maples here and flowers easing up and you sure get plenty of exercise!. Happy weekend, Thanks and God Bless Yall!
Hi Lewie, Thank you very much for the positive feedback on the review! That's a great strategy for getting rid of the metal scraps. Also, that's a great strategy for making good use of the affordable bags while avoiding a mess! So glad that winter is indeed winding down. The longer days brings a big smile to my face as I love to soak up the sun. Wishing yall many BLESSINGS!!!
Still doing amazing work. MORE Blessings!@@ProjectFarm
The amount of work you put into your videos is amazing, and greatly appreciated.
Thanks and you are welcome!
You sir, have the best channel on TH-cam without a doubt!!! Thank you for all you do. Never taking a sponsor and the honest, high detailed reviews have helped me with all purchases!
Thanks so much!
I've been a Costco memebr for over 40 years and used Kirkland bags not sure for how long, however I always enjoy your videos and I am GLAD 🤣 That Kirkland came almost on top. Thanks again and not sure why you don't have 0ver 10 million subscribers yet.
Based on the video I would pick Kirkland but then he said glad was the best....
True Glad was better, but considering the price as well, can't beat Kirkland.@@turbot_
@@turbot_ Yeah at 16 cents a bag, he should have broken it down into "pure performance" winner and "best value" winner. Kirkland seemed to win for best value, also considering it has a typical drawstring that most people expect from a kitchen trash bag.
I would have liked to see Sam's Club bags in there. 😢
Thanks!
Thanks again for another informmative and quality video!!....with all of the lifting it looks like you earned your money with this one!
My pleasure!
Updating my trash bags isn’t really the upgrade I need. But I love this Channel. So I’m here. Maybe it’s the upgrade I never knew I needed
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback!
I have been using the Kirkland for years. Sometimes I cant even stretch the band around the trashcan. It's like a vice grip. I love them. Very thorough testing as always Todd, excellent job!
Doing what consumer reports wishes it could do half as good. Thank you. Subscription earned!
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I just watched a 24 minute video of Todd testing garbage bags. Why does my life feel more fulfilled because of it?
Thanks for watching!
