| Amazing quality and a lot of storage. I also inserted into the bottom of the bucket, the parachute organizer and wow...what a sweet set-up this made. When I'm workin' the ranch I sometimes need a gun nearby for rattlesnakes, and there was even a pocket on this caddy that accomodated my Colt 45...I'm ordering one for a friend as a gift... |
Great gift for the handyman in your life!

| I bought this as a birthday present for my husband. Based on the photo, I thought the bucket was included (it is not - you can buy one for $5 on amazon to go with it). Once we got a 4.5 gallon bucket and he set it up, my husband really liked the Fat Back organizer. It holds all those odds & ends that are normally strewn all over the floor when projects are going on. The fabric is very sturdy and should hold up well over time. The organizer has lots of compartments of various sizes for wrenches, hammers, nuts & bolts, etc. I would recommend it for the handy man or woman! |
Just what you've been looking for!

I'm a professional remodeler. I carry all my essential tools in my bucket. It's my basic toolbox with those everyday items I reach for over and over -- some carpentry tools, some plumbing tools, some electrical tools, drywall, tiling, etc. I don't like to wear a toolbelt, so I keep the bucket close at hand as my de facto toolbelt. (My Duluth Trading Firehose pants have enough pockets to hold the tools I use at any given moment).
I was pretty happy with my last bucket organizer and haven't seen a better one in any of the stores, but it began to wear-out and I figured I'd best replace it before small items vanished through the holes in the bottom of the pockets. I was a bit torn between getting this organizer or its less-expensive sibling, but decided on this one due to the additional pockets and durability. I've begun to use it and am very pleased with it.
For starters, it's tough. The fabric feels indestructible. Even the "junk drawer" accessory bag has mesh reinforcement in the plastic so that even if a screw punctures the clear vinyl, it isn't going to rip apart. The rubber coating in key areas perfectly addresses the wear patterns I noted in my old organizer.
The array of pockets is well-considered. Especially welcomed are all the pockets on the INSIDE of the bucket. I've never seen so many and they help keep the bucket from becoming a "trash dump". I keep the items less-frequently used in these pockets and reserve the exterior ones for screwdrivers, pliers and other tools that I reach for most frequently.
I confess that I really wish I could will myself to work less and golf more. While I still fail miserably at progressing in such rehabilitation, I do enjoy knowing that this thing has a rain hood tucked away so that when I need to keep things dry, I can pretend that I'm really covering my drivers and irons. :-)
Like most people I know, I'm not as good about using my safety glasses as I should be, but I think having convenient, at-hand access to the pocket in this organizer that holds and protects the glasses will encourage me to use them more. The metal clip right at the top for a tape measure is also great and ends the ritual of having to empty half the bucket to dig the tape out from the bottom.
I only have a couple of thoughts on how to improve this item. First, it could use better storage for pencils, nail sets, pens and other long, slender objects. It has some, but there are not quite enough of these for my needs. Also, the little pockets it does have should be either a little deeper or further down the side of the bucket so these items don't stick up quite as much. Similarly, none of the pockets are open at the bottom. I.e., there aren't any loops. There are pockets to hold the screwdrivers, but I'd also like some simple loops for such tools. Lastly, I find that with my bucket, my handle doesn't have much freedom of motion. The top organizer sits low and solidly enough over the ends of the handle to prevent it from fully laying down on either side. This probably doesn't matter at all to anyone, but I offer it as a simple observation.
All in all, this is a really excellent product. Buy this one and not the cheaper one if you plan on seeing it used much. |

| As usual Bucket Boss comes out with another awesome product. Tough as nails and with enough pockes to hold almost my entire tool chest full of tools. I am 100% pleased with the product but I later found out I could have gotten it cheaper from a local store and without the shipping cost as well. All and all If you find it in your area you can save up to $15.00, and if not it's still worth getting from amazon |
