Material Quality

Pros:

• "While the scent-free, heavy-duty material is appreciated, the absence of a drawstring closure mechanism makes sealing the bags somewhat cumbersome."
• "These bags are slightly thinner than others but have been plenty durable for my needs."
• "These bags however are strong and sturdy bags!! You cannot read a newspaper through them!"
• "The bags themselves are made of thick, sturdy plastic which makes them ideal for large jobs – either yard work or housecleaning since they can be packed full without splitting."
• "These bags are working out great. I use them to line the inside of a 55 gal drum that we use to hold crushed pop cans for the recycling center."
• "These bags are absolutely huge. I essentially used them for water protection when moving, and for that they worked well."
• "The size and durability for a 55 gallon bag is great."

Cons:

• "The side seams easily split and the bags are easily perforated by things such as the edge of a folded-up cardboard box."
• "Easily punctured by small branches and rocks."
• "The bag on average may be 2mils, but it has streaks which are almost see trough. It rips from the weak areas very, very easily."

Design and Features

• "Not just for contractors, they can protect paintings in transit, line large garbage cans, or save a small Christmas tree and ornaments.... a multitude of uses."
• "I no longer drag my garbage pail to the curb. I empty the bags into these very strong bags, tie a big knot and leave it at the curb."

Cons:

• "The only thing these bags are good for is throwing away these bags."
• "Bags will not separate at the designated area... bags do not have a sealed bottom."
• "They would work well with things that don't have any sharp edges and don't seem to be 'ProGrade Contractor' bags."
• "For such heavy-duty contractor bags, you'd think they'd give you real twist ties. The bags are good but the ties are useless."
• "It's niggling things, but you have to find the perforation on each bag to tear, and there are no handles, tabs, or anything else to close them."
• "My one minor complaint is the perforation between bags. It's almost impossible to find."
• "These bags were advertised as coming in a box that dispenses the bags one at a time like other trash bags come in. They were rolled up in the cardboard box they were delivered in..."
