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...Read more

When I saw this at amazon I was thrilled.My last BucketBoss extreme Gear 06053 Hopalong Gatemouth tool bag held up extremely well fter 5 years of daily use in the telecom field. It started to wear,so I would buy a new one and everything would be good. Didn't turn out that way. Bucketboss went from a tough rubber bottom to a stitched material with a piece of plastic sewed between the layers for support. Well, after exactly 2 days of normal use the front of the bag collapsed from the weight of my tools which my last tool bag carried and continues to carry no problem for 5 + years.If you lay it on a flat surface it just falls over. Something is definitely wrong with quality control to let this glorified hand bag be called a tool bag . My last one was a 5 star this one is an embarrassment and going back.
