Review on πŸ”’ Strong and Reliable: Plasticplace Contractor Trash 42 Gallon, 3.0 Mil, Black Heavy Duty Garbage Bag, 33” x 48” (50 Count) by Jamie Parker

Revainrating 2 out of 5

3.0 mil packs must not be split Must have a defective case

Not sure if the box was mislabeled or defective. These bags I received are no thicker than a kitchen bag. I'm not complaining that these are regular old garbage bags, but I'm not sure that most reviews are 5 star and say they're as good as the brand's 3 mile bags. Well I used my box of these bags and had about 10 left over so I ordered a box of Home Depot/Husky "Contractor" bags and compared them. For the record, I use a lot of garbage bags at work to remove all types of garbage. As a professional contractor, I am aggressive when it comes to removing all or part of trash and debris from our work sites and disposing of it properly. Nothing bothers me more than walking towards a bag and the bottom rips at the seams. Items like wood trim with protruding nails will cause this in any bag, but a scoop of drywall trim from a dustpan will break the bottom seam. It happened to me again and again. Today I tried the test. Husky 3ML and this brand. I took a 10" piece of cedar (smooth and light) in an open bag about 3-4" off the bottom and dropped the deck board about 12" above the open bag. Nothing will happen to the Husky/HD brand. This make 3 pockets divide it up. As I said, I believe this is defective packaging or mislabelling as 99% of reviews rave about how good these bags are. After using it once, maybe twice on construction sites or work-related jobs, I removed the case to throw away household items overnight. I can't give it 5 stars for durability but I can give it 5 for price and shipping speed so I'll give it a 2 for now. Don't base your purchase decision on my rating as many say it's great. I just received the short end of the stick for my order.
