LOL. That says it in a nutshell, methinks. But don't you have a whole
collection of 20 litre lidded buckets? My potting shed has lots of them
although I use the smaller ones (perhaps 15 litres???) without their lids
for weeding, carting manure aroudn in etc. Very, very handy things are
those tough poly buckets without their lids (with or without handles).

I like this item called the Bucket Boss for my five gallon buckets. One
holds my pruning tools and another empty bucket for the weeds. A nice item
for those five gallon buckets.

I think I prefer the Fiskars one on that same page - I like the fact that
the Fiskars only sits on the outside of the bucket and doesn't go over the
lip of the bucket. I dont't use the big 5 gall buckets in my garden as they
hang too low - the smaller (15 litre?) ones are a better size for someone of
my height and perhaps the Fiskars might fit one of those as I think the
diameter would be the same - must check.

I currently drag my smaller tools around my acreage in a plastic
rectangular shaped, plastic tool caddy thingo and I have 2 of them, one
larger than the other.

I love that seat for the 5 gallon bucket! I really, really want one! I
might even break my own rule and buy one online from bloody Amazon (spit!).

The seat does look desirable, not sure if the bucket will hold me up. The
friskers holder sags too much for heavier items. I have the 35 pocket
bucket boss and not the one listed. The one I have has mesh pockets for wet
items. I bought my bucket boss at the local big box hardware store.

I like the five gallon bucket, some items are long, like the compost
temperature probe and I keep a rubber mallet when taking down and putting
back up the wire fencing when i turn the compost piles. Pruning saw and
other smaller tools are in it... Like the almighty cell phone or my iPad.

I have a garden wagon that I have on occasion let the sides down and sit in
it on occasion. I use the wagon for shovels and carrying large pots from
inside to outside the home.
