| Bucket Buddies are commercially available and range from $10-$30 USD. This do-it-yourself Bucket Buddy uses a widely available over-the-door shoe organizer. One benefit is the clear pockets; this allows one to see their tools immediately. Another benefit is that one can customize pocket size; one stitches the pocket to better conform to the tool's size. Lastly, the riveted holes allow on to add carabiners to neatly hang often-used items like a tape measure, pen/pencil/marker, and duct tape. The net effect is that with a bit of sewing one can quickly and easily create a portable, flexible, and affordable tool organizer in a few hours. | Bucket Buddies are commercially available and range from $10-$30 USD.

Here, one must substitute the shoe organizer by stitching one's own pocket strips. Here are some useful pages: |
