Review: I love the wringer - I love it. There is a little bit of a learning curve. You can't put zippers or big buttons through, but, for example jeans, you will still get a lot of water out by doing the legs and reversing them out. Instructions said large buttons and zippers can damage the wringers. And that makes sense since they are made of rubber. Don't just grab a garment and run it through. You want it to go through evenly so you won't get a big wad of cloth in the middle or the end. So I shook mine out and did a fold to run it through. Worked great. Everything was even. I also adjusted the tension accordingly. Very easy to do with handed tension screw on top. For example. I have some light weight pants that have ruffled elastic waistband and elastic at bottom of legs. Lessened the tension at both waistband and bottom of legs but tighted for the thin light weight material in the middle. Don't forget to put tbe wedge under tbe drain tray so the water will drain which way you want it to. The wringers took out much more water than I am able to do by hand. Like waterfalls amounts. And I did not come away soaking wet after doing my laundry. I am very happy with my purchase and do highly recommend. Oh almost forgot to mention, these are not some flimsy product either. Very sturdy made. Got some wright to ghem as well. I love it.
Review: Excellent Product, if you follow instructions and common sense! - I had been saving up for this for awhile, as hand wringing was killing my wrists. We are apartment dwellers and eco-hippies that prefer to be as off-grid as possible for the sake of future generations. We live in the PNW, so line drying in the rainy winter season takes forever if clothing is well wrung. It took me less than 10 minutes to have it set up and working. This wringer does the job! 1) Quality: This thing is built like a tank (and as heavy as one, to boot)! Every piece seems to be well made. Some reviews mention wiggles, tiny nuts, and other issues. I'm guessing these have been addressed, as the handle fits like a dream, the thumb screws are large and easy to operate, and everything moves smoothly and is firmly attached. I expect this to last a lifetime if it's maintained properly. And that's the key, maintain it. Rinse it to remove leftover soap/dirt after use, air dry before storage, and lubricate moving parts regularly. 2) Assembly: Read the instructions. I repeat, read the instructions as they tell you exactly what to do. The drip tray does need to be bullied into place, but if you push down on the ends as you force it in it will pop right into the pegs -- just like it says in the instructions. I'm a middle-aged woman with carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritic hands, and I was able to do it, so most anyone of average strength should be able to -- IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. 3) Usage: I've done 5 loads of laundry -- lights, darks, sheets, jeans, and towels/dishrags. Every single one of them went through like a dream. Fold zippers and small buttons to the inside of the fabric to avoid damaging the rollers/zippers. For large buttons, like on jeans, feed through leg first and stop before the button goes through, then back it out. Just like it says in the instructions. (Did I mention that you should read them?) Start with the top adjuster fairly loose and then tighten it by full turns until you get to the amount of wringing you need. Once you are used to it, adjustments are intuitive. It took me two loads to get to that point, so the learning curve is slight. Only heavy items needed to go through twice to get about 98% dry, I fed everything else through only once. Most of my laundry was dry within 4 hours on a 60 F, sunny day. (We dry on a rack on the balcony when there's no rain. If you have a large line to spread things out on, things will probably dry faster.) Drip tray notes: I used the wedge, although it may not be necessary as the tray stays put pretty well (as long as it's installed properly). Remember to tilt the tray so the lower end is on the side you are feeding the clothes into. Guide the clothing over the lip on the exit side so it doesn't get pulled beneath the wringer -- you will have a bad day disentangling it if you allow this to happen. 4) Handle: A lot of complaints about the handle. This is why we need more science education in schools. The handle is long due to basic physics, it's not a design flaw. The shape seems odd but is very ergonomic and is what allows you to spin it easily with little effort (as long as you set the tension adjusted properly). Our mounting bolt fit well with no wiggle, and the thumb screw makes it easy to take off for storage. 5) Mounting brackets: Remember, we are in a tiny apartment. Our double kitchen sink is the best location for us to do laundry, as my back doesn't enjoy kneeling next to the bathtub. A dedicated washtub setup isn't an option in our space right now. The brackets can be moved to several configurations, so we were able to easily attach it to the center metal divider of our double kitchen sink. I use dish tubs inside the sinks as our wash tubs, and can easily switch the drip tray to slant toward the wash or rinse side as needed. Set the wringer in the dish tubs and slide it all under the kitchen sink for storage. Easy peasy. One minor complaint: The mounting bracket discs that are in contact with the attachment point, a metal sink in our case, would work better if they had rubber flanges on them to provide better grip and to protect the sink. I'm going to stop by the hardware store this afternoon to find a hose length or something that will work to rubberize them, but adding flanges would be a minor upgrade with a major impact for Northwoods Calliger to consider! I 100% recommend this product. Just read the instructions, know that it needs a sturdy base, and then read the instructions again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone hooked this to a standard round 5-gallon bucket?**
A: That is totally impossible. There's no way for those clamps to attach to something that isn't straight for at least 12" to 14". Plus the weight of the wringer itself is so substantial that it would tip a five-gallon bucket over instantly even if you could miraculously attach it. We have it clamped to a fairly large galvanized tub, and even that tips over from the weight of the wringer on one side. We had to counterweight it by putting a cinder block inside the galvanized tub. So a 5-gallon bucket will NEVER work.

**Q: I'm interested in using this for something other than just wringing laundry.  Could someone please tell what the approximate spring tension is**
A: Although I have no way of measuring the spring tension, someone may be able to take this apart and measure the spring dimensions and calculate it's tolerances. The tension is adjustable with the knob at the top of the unit. To be of anymore help, we would need to know what you plan on using this for. Perhaps your question could be better answered by the manufacturer.

**Q: Where is this made**
A: China

**Q: Has anyone used this on black and decker workmate?**
A: I have not used it on a workmate  but it works fine on a sawhorse.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Battle ready.
*by H***N on October 8, 2021*

Opening this package, I found a heavy duty contraption from the olden times. Inside are detailed instructions on assembly, use, and maintenance, all of which are easy to follow. It becomes clear as soon as you open the package that they obviously care about their product and have built it to last. Use: After washing some laundry by hand, I took an article of clothing out, dripping wet, and fed it though the wringer. I adjusted the tension knob on top, the thing worked perfectly, leaving the article feeling as if, if not less damp than if it just came out of the spin cycle of a washing machine. (remember to use the wedge which is included in the package for the drip ramp to stay properly oriented.) Overall thoughts: outside of the above mentioned, I wasn't looking to spend as much as I did on this but I can't argue against its value and feel like, for what you are getting, the price is fair. I'll be using this a few times a week and after some time has passed, I will make an update to this. (10/8/21) 6 months in (4/3/22): I still like it. I live in a small apartment with no laundry facilities and I hate going to public coin operated facilities. The wringer has allowed for me to do my laundry since my first review and saved me it's equivalent cost in running coin machines. Cons: it should not be used with items which have buttons or zippers. I still run small buttons through, but I make sure they are flat and reduce the tension on the rollers to prevent damage. I've also noticed it has a difficult time with thin items, like summer pajama pants, where I have to crank the tension knob down to get enough pressure but thankfully thin items usually dry faster anyway so I don't fuss to much with this. I would still recommend this item. It's pros for me far outweigh the cons, and the cons are just minor inconveniences. Edit: approaching the 4 year mark of using this thing. Still works. No edits to previous remarks. Edit edit: December 2025 - I'm still using this regularly. I had to put some 3 in 1 oil on the tension knob as the screw part was showing some minor corrosion. With how much I use this, this was to be expected. Still recommend this.
