Best hand clothes wringer demonstrating wringing out sponges while attached to 5 gal bucket

Hand wringer attached to 5 gallon pail or bucket to wring out sponges which have been used for tile work or washing cars etc.
Note, this wringer is a year or two old and has been left outside for a number of months. The rollers are weathered some which gives them a little more traction than new rollers. http://getpreparedstuff.ecrater.com/p/6538137/best-hand-clothes-wringer

The rollers of a new wringer are also much slippier and slick compared to a "seasoned" wringer whose rollers will grip the clothing and pull it through. This video shows how the wringer will grip a sponge easily but the rollers on this wringer are older, a new set of rollers we found will not "pull" the sponge through because there is no grip to the rollers. A little "weathering" can increase the performance of these wringers.

As for the poor rating, I believe it has more to do with "hand" wringing in general which takes work and effort especially when putting clothing items with snaps, zippers and thick clothing through like a pair of jeans. The electric wringers did much better because it made an almost two person job a one person job and an electric wringer doesn't bog down like happens when doing it by hand and turning the handle.

This is the same model that Lehman's sells. We both buy from the same supplier. The quality is very good however, the "modern" handle could be a little longer to help with torque especially for the thick & bulkier clothing type items. The better solution though is to connect it to a very firm and stable base. A bucket, pail or thin metal tub may not provide a solid enough foundation for "heavy" wringing where you have to "put your shoulder" into the job to get the item through.

I read a review on the Lehman's website that said the mechanical efficiency of this wringer was really bad, something about the handle being too long to have sufficient torque. Have you used this with larger/bulkier products, such as sheets or towels? In my experience Lehman's is a good brand, so I was surprised to see the poor rating for this on their site. Thanks!

@victoriathegopher The length of the handle does affect the torque efficiency and ease of turning the rollers as the clothes go through it. The design of the handle is sufficient in my opinion for most laundry wringing though it could be improved by making it a little longer as a longer handle (not shorter) would make it easier to turn for bulkier clothes. The best thing however is to make sure the wringer is mounted on a very sturdy and stable platform that doesn't move back and forth.
