"Surprisingly convenient. Surprisingly heavy."
I waited until the 56-pocket Bucket Boss dropped below fifteen bucks from Amazon, then decided it was worth a chance. An excellent purchase.

Pro: Far superior to any toolbox. Everything (and I mean everything) is within sight and/or easy reach. It was humbling to put every tool I own into this and only fill half the pockets.

Con: H E A V Y. Yes, I loaded the bucket down with cordless drill, extra battery, two types of hammers, and a slew of tools. But that tiny handle makes the weight far more noticeable.

"Boy, do I love this product!"
Because it's easy to carry around and use, I found myself always putting tools up after I use them.

Now I can't blame the wife, son or myself for losing tools. It has made me a lot more efficient around the house.

Two thumbs up!!

"Gonfalon"
This is a great item. It makes storing and transporting a variety of your tools to any usage site an easy task. It keeps them organized and ready to go at all times. Tremendous item, used with an (otherwise) empty 5 gallon bucket. A top-notch gift for any 'amateur' handyman.

"How to make good use of a spare bucket"
This is a great way to take an ordinary bucket and make it useful. All the tools can be seen and used without digging around, and the inside can hold all sorts of things (it is a bucket, after all!).

It is made of nice heavy material that won't tear or puncture.

"Bucket boss Bargain"
I have tried using many different ways of organizing tools and have come to the conclusion that the bucket organizers are the only way to fly.

I have quite a few different brands and I can tell you that name brands are best with these:I have some cheapies that have developed tears in the pockets and seams are coming undone. My bucket boss brand and CLC(see review please) have stood up to the harsh use of jobsites to last longer.

Bucket boss is the originator for these storage systems and they are available with various amounts of pockets from 20-61.

When you purchase a bucket boss, you are going to have to provide the bucket. A five gallon bucket is what is called for and they can be purchased at any home center or you can scavage an empty thats been used for drywall mud.(I have even seen them used as containers for kitty litter , detergent, and pickels!)

You slip this organizer over a five gallon bucket and you instantly have 56 pockets of various sizes on the inside and outside of the bucket. There is also a holster for a cordless drill and a lanyard thats handy for storing tape.

The fabric is a heavy duty 600 denier fabric and the seams are reinforced with a heavy duty stitching.

I like the versatility that the bucket system gives me as I not only have the pockets for my hand tools, but a spacious bucket for things like sanders, saws and extension cords.

Working out of a bucket boss instead of a toolbox means no more rooting through piles of tools to find the one that I am looking for- The tools are all organized vertically into pockets where they can be readily identified and retrieved.

At the end of the job I can either return the tools to their respective pockets or if I am in a hurry, just throw them in the bucket to be reorganized later.

A bucket organizer also works great because the bucket can act as a trashcan as you work, acting as a trash recepticle for screws and nails, as well as other small construction debris.

A bucket boss has some limitations- Larger, bulkier tools (like pipe wrenches and tools over 2 feet in length)either won't fit well or will throw off the balance of the bucket as you carry it around. If the bottom of the bucket is not ballasted with some weight, the bucket may be top heavy and fall over in the back of a truck.
