I have been a convert to the bucket organizing system for some time. I find it nice to be able to locate the tool I am looking for at a glance as the tools are tucked neatly into pockets on the insides and outsides of the bucket, not jumbled in a pile as is the case with most tool boxes.

This product can be found at Amazon for under twenty dollars, and makes a great gift to any handyperson on your list. I am sure there are other uses for this product besides tool storage-for example, office supplies, crafts, maybe even kids toys? I dunno...

The bucket organizer is a heavy duty 600 denier ripstop fabric tool pouch that slips over a standard five gallon bucket(You provide the bucket, but do not dispair-any home improvement store carries them, or you can usually get them free from a contractor or neighbor who has an empty drywall bucket out at the curb as trash. Heck, I have even seen them used as containers for cat litter and detergent!)

Slip this pouch over the bucket and you now have 61 pockets of varied sizes that can accomodate a wide variety of hand tools. There are even some covered pockets to protect more delicate stuff as well as a holster for a cordless drill! A lanyard on the side is a great way to keep electrical tape handy.

I use this system for my electrical tools. It helps me not only find and keep tools organized, but also make sure I have all the tools accounted for at the end of the job before I leave.And the inside of the bucket is great for switches, outlets, and boxes. I can even use the inside of the bucket as a trash can to keep the customers home free of wire scraps, stripped insulation, old outlets, screws, etc.

Some tools fit better than others-heavier tools such as pipe wrenches and larger hammers and prybars are better suited to the old fashioned tool boxes, as they throw off the balance of the bucket. Tools over a foot long won't store well in a bucket either. Depending on what tools are stored inside it, the bucket may become top heavy and unstable in the back of a truck-either load it strategically(heavier tools at the bottom), or brace it with other stuff to prevent it from falling over.

My husband is into construction for a living. His tools have been sort of organized til this great invention. It is durable enough even for him. Which is a great plus. I give it a 10/10. I recommend this for anyone who works with tools or even has them for the house.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he loved it. Shipping was very fast.

There are tons of positive reviews on this bucket tool organizer, and I would agree with all of them.
But let me tell you the things I was worried about this specific product.

There are tons of bucket tool organizers out there, from $10 to $100, so which one to choose.I wanted something that was heavy duty, ideally made out of canvas and perhaps even leather. I saw some 'bucket boss' organizers and they seemed like the material was a bit too much like plastic, and less like canvas. But they were definitely cheap. I saw some at Home depot and Lowes, and the quality did not impress me. The leather ones were too pricey, and the affordable ones were too cheap.

This Customleathercraft bucket organizer looked heavy duty, but I had no way to feel the material on the PC. So after looking around at the alternatives, I noticed that this was neither too cheap, nor too expensive and was not a re-badged bucket boss. From the picture, it looks heavy duty. So I took the chance.

What you get is an extremely sturdy, incredibly strong and well fit bucket organizer. The material is not as think as real canvas, but it is pretty close. I picked up a bucket from Home Depot for $3.99 and I have never looked back. The Drill holder was of particular importance, cause its heavy and needs to be accessible. There are too many slots, which is a good thing cause you will never run out of space. If you do, you can always put it inside the bucket.

Bottom line:
1) Very sturdy
2) Extremely functional
3) Right Price
4) Great for both handy homeowners and pros

I have no shortage of toolbox and storage systems, but this is the one that gets the most use because it is so "accessible".

Everything is in plain site, so you just pick the right tool and then return it, so everything stays neat and orderly.

The material here are very durable and with the bucket taking all the beat and I have no signs of wear on mine after 6 months.

There is a wish range of pockets sizes and depths so you can store a wide range of hand tools in it.

My biggest problems have been

1) Is that I put some many tools in it can get rather heavy.
2) The bucket does collect dust in bucket.

Now on point 1, I can really complain about weight if that I put too many tools it.

On point 2, this problem in practice is minor.

My son bought this to go with his Bucket Boss Rear Guard. He is an electrical apprentice and has to carry a lot of tools from job to job. He likes that it is easy to find what he's looking for and it's durable. We had his last name embroidered on the top rim and it looks awesome.

Great quality built well and will last forever. Just wish it had different size pockets. Has maybe 4 different size pockets throughout inside and outside but could certainly have more to fit other tools.

Great product. I recently received, but upon initial review the material seems quite sturdy. It's amazing how much more efficient this is to use than a toolbox! Lots of good pockets. The only think I would change is perhaps making a couple of more pouches for keeping packs of small items in.

This sturdy and affordable bucket caddy really excited my aunt when I gave it to her for Christmas, but it is held in position with a bunch of heavy staples that you have to pry open before you can use it.

I bought this for my husband because I kept finding tools all over the house. This works well to keep most of his tools in one place and he can carry it from room to room and easily find what he's looking for. We had no problems fitting it over a Home Depot bucket. It can get a little heavy if there are a lot of tools in it though. The biggest complaint I have is that the material doesn't have any stretch. If something goes too deep into a pocket it's sometimes hard to get out and you can't really squeeze anything into a pocket. It would have been nice to have a few more medium sized pockets.
