Large pipe cutter.. pipe wrenches of various assortments 18" and under files..

I have a toilet bucket 1 gal pail which has micro channel locks, caps, bolts, seals, tiny tim, shims and a razor knife..

Kitchen bucket.. 2gal pail nut driver flathead channel locks , large flat bathtub plug stinky rag and a spray bottle dish soap and water

Mainline bucket.. 5gal pail and 2 gal pail

2 gal pail contains 2"-6" cutters various assortments and types different stuff..
Multi screw driver.. 25' paracord.. razor knife.. 1"x4" aluminum square tube... Allen keys.. yoga mat.. masking tape and a few garbage bags

5 gal pail is for roots and wipes and whatever is pulled off the line..

Now thats what im trying to get towards. Grab an go, no digging around for sh*t everthing has a spot. I probably spend 30 mins a day digging through the van for a part. I have a bucket of hydraulic cement holding a shelf up...
My apprentice crashed my van so im using another guys whos in school...kinda frustrating to dig through piles of bags to find somthing

It doesn't work for everyone just works for me... I know where 90 percent of tools are and 100% of material.. mine are mostly soft cloth bags.. I use sandwich baggies inside bags to organize the little things inside bags..

Here and there things go midding but it's easier for when I'm working with someone to know everything is in bag..

I refuse to let other guys bring hand tools on my truck as that's how my tools dissapear

Not to mention i end up dumping it out to find somthing. Ends up being a catch all. Just got tierd of the bucket life lol

Sewer juice, tampons and roaches, what's wrong with that?.....LOL

Reminds me of the time that I pulled a W/C up off the floor and about a hundred roaches were running for cover. I was doing the Irish jig trying to stomp all those fast-moving little suckers.....

....and to keep them from running up my leg into my pants....LOL

I have a question, what are you doing if you're getting poop water and roaches regularly into your tool bucket? Do you do a lot of crawl space work?

There isn’t a lot of crawl spaces in the city(Toronto), most homes have basements.

I bought some buckets from Lowe's they are called "commander" with the yellow top and black bucket they are the UV protected storage type buckets for like $5.- apiece. The sun is always killing my buckets. These should last I have had some of these storage bins out in the son for years and they are still good.

why buy when you have a free supply of spackle buckets??? upstate there is a yogurt factory that throws out hundreds of 3.5 gallon buckets with nice snap on lids and some heavy duty 5 gallon buckets no lids....theres always free 5 gallon buckets floating around...it takes years of direct sunlight to dry up and crack a 5 gallon bucket that arent UV protected...
