Overall review:

Perc tree ash catchers aren’t exactly new.

The first example I saw was a prototype design from Lux, which was a beautiful piece, but unavailable to most collectors.

Seeing the potential for this design, I actually had a similar piece commissioned by another tube manufacturer, and it performed very well.

Toro also saw the potential in this style, and after a couple of R&D prototypes, they introduced the “Trash catcher”.

This is latest incarnation of the perc ash catcher and is one of the coolest to date.

It is built from a 5mmx50mm tube and, true to the Toro family, is solid as a rock.

The 3 diffused arms add a very noticeable level of filtration to any tube, and the open ends do not get clogged with debris.

The rear disc acts as a splashguard and does an excellent job of preventing any spillover, without restricting the piece.

The heavy walled joints resist chipping and provide a perfect wobble-free seal.

This is not a whimpy ash catcher, but rather a solid heavy piece that may tip light, thin or shorter tubes.

Toro tubes aren’t known as thin, weak tubes, and are as strong as they come.

They are thick and beefy and not prone to damage.

The trash catcher follows in this family tradition.

Performance is at the head of the class.

This piece flows like a river and adds no drag other than the resistance of the added water chamber.

It does a fantastic job of trapping any nasty particles of ash and burned debris and adds perc tree filtration for any set up it to which it is added.

Angle and balance is true, with the trash catcher holding the slide at a leveled position.

It’s not obtrusive into the users space, and blends well with 20inch or taller tubes.

Overall, this is a fantastic piece.

If you are a Toro fan, or a collector looking for the next step in perc ash catchers, the Toro trash catcher is for you.

I can see several more of these in my near future.

Toro has really nailed it with this piece… and that’s no BULL.
