Product Description
The Fatback organizer takes tool carriers to a whole new level. With over 60 pockets (we stopped counting), this bucket carrier brings its own I-can-crush-that-job attitude to the work site. 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. Plastic-reinforced pouch rims keep the bags wide open and ready for use.

 Not designed well June 22, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a tough product and seems well made, but there are serious design issues that make this product a failure for anyone using it.
1: Drill Holder - My 18v Dewalt XRP drill will not fit into the drill holder with the button snapped closed. So, the drill hangs there waiting to fall out of the sleeve, if I move the bucket. I wonder how many other drills will not fit into the drill holder.
2: Screwdriver Storage - There are no proper screwdriver slots. All of the slots and pockets are closed on the bottom. This means that your screwdrivers will hang high over the slots, instead of fitting snug. Screwdrivers will most likely be lost on any job site, if the pockets are used.
3: Way too expensivve - This product is worth $15 max, with its design flaws.
 Strong and lots of pockets! March 26, 2008
I bought this for my boyfried and he loves it. Wished it had a metal hammer holder but otherwise very pleased. Great price too!!

I'm a professional remodeler. I carry all my essential tools in my bucket. It's my basic toolbox with those everyday items I reach for over and over -- some carpentry tools, some plumbing tools, some electrical tools, drywall, tiling, etc. I don't like to wear a toolbelt, so I keep the bucket close at hand as my de facto toolbelt. (My Duluth Trading Firehose pants have enough pockets to hold the tools I use at any given moment).
I was pretty happy with my last bucket organizer and haven't seen a better one in any of the stores, but it began to wear-out and I figured I'd best replace it before small items vanished through the holes in the bottom of the pockets. I was a bit torn between getting this organizer or its less-expensive sibling, but decided on this one due to the additional pockets and durability. I've begun to use it and am very pleased with it.
For starters, it's tough. The fabric feels indestructible. Even the "junk drawer" accessory bag has mesh reinforcement in the plastic so that even if a screw punctures the clear vinyl, it isn't going to rip apart. The rubber coating in key areas perfectly addresses the wear patterns I noted in my old organizer.
The array of pockets is well-considered. Especially welcomed are all the pockets on the INSIDE of the bucket. I've never seen so many and they help keep the bucket from becoming a "trash dump". I keep the items less-frequently used in these pockets and reserve the exterior ones for screwdrivers, pliers and other tools that I reach for most frequently.
I confess that I really wish I could will myself to work less and golf more. While I still fail miserably at progressing in such rehabilitation, I do enjoy knowing that this thing has a rain hood tucked away so that when I need to keep things dry, I can pretend that I'm really covering my drivers and irons. :-)
Like most people I know, I'm not as good about using my safety glasses as I should be, but I think having convenient, at-hand access to the pocket in this organizer that holds and protects the glasses will encourage me to use them more. The metal clip right at the top for a tape measure is also great and ends the ritual of having to empty half the bucket to dig the tape out from the bottom.
I only have a couple of thoughts on how to improve this item. First, it could use better storage for pencils, nail sets, pens and other long, slender objects. It has some, but there are not quite enough of these for my needs. Also, the little pockets it does have should be either a little deeper or further down the side of the bucket so these items don't stick up quite as much. Similarly, none of the pockets are open at the bottom. I.e., there aren't any loops. There are pockets to hold the screwdrivers, but I'd also like some simple loops for such tools. Lastly, I find that with my bucket, my handle doesn't have much freedom of motion. The top organizer sits low and solidly enough over the ends of the handle to prevent it from fully laying down on either side. This probably doesn't matter at all to anyone, but I offer it as a simple observation.
All in all, this is a really excellent product. Buy this one and not the cheaper one if you plan on seeing it used much.
How About Extremely Useful . . . October 13, 2007
Not to imply these are not for the pros, but rather from a DIY person's point-of-view, these are a must. Like many day-to-day out of home working people, I love to become the evening and weekend warrior of home projects. Having some ancient history of doing auto service, I am a toolbox/toolchest user. When it comes to around the house projects these organizers are GREAT. I have never found it so easy to move from project to project and know where my most used tools are. I can easily see using either two of these or one of their other (bags) products in combination. The hardest things I found about using this product was the initial fitting to the bucket (tight, snug, had to wrestle with it) and figuring out which pockets work best for which tools. Long screwdrivers, pry bars, etc. are still somewhat of a mystery yet they do fit. Heck, you can always place them free in the center . . . I would recommend this organizer to anyone.
Mega Tool Holder September 24, 2007
Finally a product that holds more tools than I want to carry. Even a spot for a "junk drawer"!
