Product Description

From the Manufacturer

A no holds barred product. Yee-Haa! That's all we have to say about our Hopalong Gatemouth tool Bag. That, and the fact that you can set'er down on its handy dandy rubber bottom for ease of use. Along with the dog-bone shoulder strap, junk drawer, and convenient cell phone pocket, you get an oh-so darling removable fanny tool pack.

Product Description

The Hopalong gatemouth tool bag is the no-holds-barred carrier you-ll want on the jobsite. Bucket Boss Extreme represents a major innovation developed by contractors who demand the best quality available in tool carriers. High-density ballistic nylon (1680 Denier) is the foundation for this Extreme product. Heavy-duty nylon and polyester fabric provide extra strength, and PVC reinforcement gives large pockets and major stress points additional strength and durability. PVC on the bottom protects against moisture. A zippered Junk Drawer offers extra moisture-resistant storage, and the cell phone pocket is ideal for the always-in-touch professional.

I like the durabiliy of this bag but the organization of tools leaves much to be desired. I bought this about two months ago and just replaced it for the Veto Pro XL, which I really like. The Veto Pro has a pocket for every tool which makes it easier to keep organized, unlike the Hopalong. I also have no use for the extra fanny pack-like bag that comes with it. I would save your money and get the Veto Pro.

This is the perfect tool bag. I've searched a long time and have purchased numerous bags. The BucketBoss has all of the features I've been looking for: large pockets, adjustable dividers, waterproof bottom just to name a few. My only question now is what to do with all of these other bags?

I bought this bag three years ago and have used it just about every day as my primary tool bag as an HVAC service technician... which means this things gets dragged under houses, on roofs, in water, mud, etc. The other guys I work with go through at least one bag per year... and that is stretching it, usually.

The Bucket Boss has really held up well all considering, but had a slow demise: A few months ago a hole got poked in the middle of the bottom from my needle nose pliers. About the same time, the strap hook broke... I used a strap from another bag. But recently, the bottom corner finally blew out. Only drawback to the water proof bottom, is that if you get rained on the bag fills up with water and becomes super heavy... and it won't dry out either. You have to empty all your stuff out, turn it upside-down and let it sit overnight. But, I'd rather have a waterproof bottom any day over nylon/canvas.

In my search for a better bag, the only thing I could find was the Veto Pro OT-LC... but that costs $139!!! Which is insane, btw.

The bag itself has everything you'd want. I didn't use the fanny pack (no body should ever, ever use a fanny pack). The junk pouch was nice, but ended up not using it either. Otherwise, I added a small divider box for small things. All my tools are visible, at a glance, which helps prevent loosing tools ... you know instantly when something is missing (a big saver when working with forgetful trainees). The main compartment has room for a multi-meter and a 3D cell Mag-Lite, plus all the other misc junk I carry. I try to keep the weight down, but the original shoulder strap is great, very comfortable.

If you are torn between buying the Veto Pro, but not wanting to spend the money, this is a very smart buy.
