Not just for contractors!
I've been carrying my Bucket Boss briefcase on a daily basic for two years now, and it still looks new. It may be designed for contractors, but there are plenty of features that make it perfect for computers geeks as well. There's room for a laptop, of course; a special pocket for a cell phone that lets you hear the phone ring, tons of pockets for pens, pencils, screwdrivers, pliers, a digital camera, books... whatever you need to carry. It's rugged, looks good in almost any setting, yet doesn't attract the attention of thieves like the typical laptop case or fancy briefcase. Highly recommended.

Oh, but for one zipper...
...this would be a perfect bag. It wants for a zipper under the main flap for the primary compartment. In its existing state papers get wet in a rain storm.

Better and cheaper too!
I was looking for a replacement for my Lands End briefcase [I've had three of those but I'll never go back]. One of my complaints about the last one I had was that it was navy blue and things like my black cell phone would get lost down in it [along with other things]. With only a few small but deep pockets inside, there wasn't a good place for the phone, and things tended to get very disorganized. I'm a clinical psychologist with 3 offices [and a home office] so I tend to carry around a lot of junk, including charts, other papers etc. and with the Bucket Boss I'm no longer always rooting around trying to find something that I tossed in there. In my search, I looked at other canvas bags that could take the beating of all the moving about that I need to do - the Lands End ..., the L.L. Bean case ... and one from Duluth Pack ... but I saw this one in the ... Tool Crib catalog for... and it kept intriguing me - in part because of the lighter color, which I thought would help with being able to find my "lost" things. At that price there seemed little to lose but boy, was I pleasantly surprised when I got it. The pictures and text do not do it justice. It has tons of pockets, places for pens, wallet, checkbook...you name it. I've used it for over a month now and I can't find anything I'd change in the design, nor any flaws in the construction. In fact, I love it so much that I'm going to order a "replacement" now, so that when I wear this one out I'll have one already. My only qualm in doing that is that it is so well made, it may never wear out, but I'm sure my heirs will be able to put it to good use long after I don't need it any longer.

Great quality, looks, practicality
There are others, but not as inexpensive nor with half the quality and durability of this briefcase. I've had 3 over the past 6 years, & will soon buy another one. The failure point has always been the metal attachments that hold the shoulder straps in place; they only last a year or two, in my experience. The mesh cellphone pocket is nice & roomy, too. It has room for several books (plural!), notebooks, and odds&ends to my delight, with a couple better-designed large & deep compartments that have velcro flaps. Everything about this case says it's roomy enough to carry what I've discovered I need to carry around, and durable enough to last. (And it makes a nicer statement, I think, than a leather oh-so-so briefcase!)

Great quality very durable
The one I received is an older model and doesn't look like the picture (I received mine in November), this newer version looks like it has more pockets. But that doesn't take away from the quality of this product. I am not a contractor either and like the other reviewer I purchased this as a commuter bag. Its many pockets are perfect for holding just about everything and the main compartment is big enough for a laptop computer if needed, though it doesn't have the padding a lap top case would have. If you carry a wide lunch box, it may not fit in this bag. I frequently bring medium sized tupperware bowls for lunch and they will not fit in the main compartment unless I put it in sideways. The one I have doesn't have a blueprint sleeve but I wouldn't have used it any way. Convenient pocket in the flap to put documents for easy access when the top is closed and zippered pocket inside as well as a metal hook for keys. BucketBoss is part of Fiskars and has the same high quality products. I don't own other BucketBoss products but I'd definately buy more based on this item. ... Read more

Best for small tools.
Great tool carrier. I put it on when I start work and leave it on all day. So comfortable I forget to take it off. Not bulky or heavy. Keeps hand tools handy without putting on another tool belt.A lot of pockets for such a small thing.

Held up well for mechanic!
It's a great item for my mechanic husband, it saves his pants pockets from getting holes in them from his wrenches & screwdrivers. It took him a couple of days to get used to it, but now wears it every day at work. UPDATE: my husband wears this daily at work, filled with his tools. No area showed any sign of wear after 2 years of constant use. His screwdriver finally wore a hole through the pocket and we purchased another one. Got a great 2 1/2 years of use out of this!

electrician
Im a service electrician, so i do small jobs all day long and in between im in the truck driving to the next job ,so i put tools on, put tools away all day long. I got tired of putting holes in my back pockets by carring screw drivers ect.. my regular tool pouch is big and hangs on my belt so it was too much of a pain to undo my belt when i arrive and then again when i leave. This baby solved that problem. I ended up using it in my front pocket, more comfortable and excessable. It did wear out in 8 mo.'s so im ordering a new one. if they beefed up the bottom of pouch so screwdrivers wouldn't eventually pop through i'd give it 5 stars.

I like the pouch but it wore out too fast
Excellent pouch for electricians who usually put there pliars & screwdriver in back pocket. You can fit pliers,strippers,2 screwdrivers& tester. Downside; it only lasted about 6 months.

great pouch
I do lots of low voltage wiring. It's great to just stick it in your rear pocket which makes it very handy. I only wish they'd make the same item with more storage pockets. Instead I had to buy 2. ... Read more

Messy desk? Amuse your coworkers and clean up the clutter with this fantastic little Mug Boss from Bucket Boss. There's no other desk organizer like it. The Mug Boss is made from the same fabric used in the company's famous job site tool organizers, so you know it's tough enough for even your sharpest pens and pencils. Contractors, do-it-yourselfers, amateur woodworkers, and even your average pencil pusher will get a kick out of the Mug Boss. It's the perfect office gift. We think the Mug Boss practically pays for itself in humor value alone--at this price, it's hard to find a less expensive punch line. --Brian Trinen ... Read more

Great Way to Avoid Shuffling Papers Looking for the Pen
Most of the time my desk is cluttered with one job on top of the other. I keep thinking a credenza would solve that problem but it doesn't. The frustration is when you need a letter opener or a pen, and they are buried in the pile. Or I need the mini razor that slides back in the plastic holder. That baby really lays flat, and can get lost under most anything.
This Mug Boss is great for all of those problem. Pens, pencils, letter opener, and whatever else you may use on your desk, are always at the ready. It looks really cool. Has a handy look to it and hints that things are under control. Great material, sure to last a long time, and fits a standard size coffee mug.
It's cheap. Buy a few and give them out to your friends. It's an upfront desk reminder of you. Great conversation piece. I really don't see any down side to it. Makes a great compliment to the Bucket Boss, and the rest of the line. Highly recommended.

Super gift
Clever little gift. Fits over any coffee mug or short glass and all your pens, pencils etc fit right in. Functional as well as clever. I bought one of these for each of the 25 office staff and they love them. Visitors to our office always ask where they can buy them. A great deal for only a couple bucks.

Not that practical! But cute!
"Any 10 oz mug?" Sure, if it's a skinny one. The pockets? Most won't hold anything bigger than a pencil, and a tight sqeeze, there. Still, a great "guy thing" statement, which was much appreciated on Father's Day in our home. (Along with the actual *big* Bucket Boss, which we have yet to test out. Now, where was that bucket?)

You don't need it, but you must have it.
Two ugly coffee mugs will do the same job, but how cool is your accountant's logo and maybe a Local 1030 Environmental Workers of NJ mug gonna stack up to a BucketBoss?

Look, you worked hard to get off the jobsite and into a chair. You wear shirts with buttons. You have a slight crease in your pants. Your shoes are relatively clean. But you still remember eating lunch out of a box, wearing work boots, and having your own nicked-up hardhat. The BucketBoss lets people know you still know how to kick someone's behind for slacking on the job.

And it keeps the pens separated nicely from the pencils, and doesn't let the Sharpies get mixed up with either of them.

Fred

The S/H charge drops it from cute to a joke.
Almost purchased this item until I realized that I was going to pay twice as much in shipping and handling as I would for the mug boss. The Mug Boss is cute but that isn't funny. ... Read more

Solves a problem very well
Most pouches don't come with a good place for a square and the darn things are always falling out or poking you in the ribs or something. This scabbard is well made and clips onto a pants pocket with a metal clip or it can be slid onto the belt using the loops on the back of the scabbard. The extra pouch and pencil slots are nice too. The material looks nice and is very resistant to wear, damage and fluids. I heartily reccomend it if you carry a sqaure often.

End user in mind.
After getting tired of scraping knuckles in a large pouch, tearing holes in pants pockets, and trying other products, I have found a product that works. The scabbord does just what it says. A left handed model would make this a 5 star product. It's functional, easy to find your square/tape/pencil without having to look all of the time. It's also very durable, a definite PLUS. As a hobbyist, I look for products that will give me a lifetime of service, easy to work with, versitile, and dependable. The Layout Square Scabbord does all of this. I'm very pleased with this product.

Compact and lightweight
Being a do-it-yourselfer, I have not yet invested in one of those "everything" tool belts. Thus far, I have always just stuffed my speed square in the biggest available pocket, and then pushed it out of the way when I needed something else in the same pocket. This speed square scabbard makes all the difference. It is compact and lightweight, yet it is extremely durable. And it frees up some extra space in my tool belt! I only wish that it came in a left hand model (not a big deal, but it sure would be convenient!!). ... Read more

Nice Breifcase
I am very pleased with this product. I have only had it for a few months but it seems to be very well constructed.

Bulky but useful
This is a very functional piece of luggage, which is good. It does feel a lot more like "luggage" than a "bag" or "briefcase" though, which is not so good. I work predominantly in Manhattan, so I am constantly walking around on busy streets, making my way through crowded subways, etc. The art and science of bag design is a big deal here. The blocky design of this bag makes it more awkward than a similar bag of a different type. It does hold a lot of stuff, I can fit my Makita 14.4 volt drill and charger in it, with enough room left over for plans, other hand tools, etc. The organizer section is a good thing, and useful, though like most other hybrid tool/papers bags, it has some "tool pockets" that fit no tool in my arsenal. The tape measure pocket works well, keeping me from forgetting one and looking like an idiot when I show up to do an estimate. The clear "plan window" is useless. If all the relevant drawings for your projects will fit in one 11x14 window, you probably can carry everything else in your pockets.
The color is dorky, but it makes you fit into certain client's fantasy of "a guy who knows what he is doing"
Some straps that would cinch it up narrower when it wasn't full would be a great addition.
It is probably perfect for someone who wants to organize the sea of papers that washes over the front seat of their truck.
Three stars is a little low, probably, it is not bad at all, and I do use it, but it is only average, in my opinion.

This is a good product, but Fiskar's customer service stinks
This is one of the best shoulder bags I have ever had, I like it a lot. However, my bag has split the sides and the buckle has broken. I have tried repeatedly to get Fiskars, the parent company of Bucket Boss, to fix or replace it attempting contacting them through their consumer "hotline" No one has e-mailed me and there are no other descernable ways to contact the company. Buyer beware ! This bag is defefective and Fiskars has done absolutely nothing to help.
I hate to complain but the manufacturer of this product has majorly dropped the ball.

Pro Contractor's Briefcase
Work's Great, has enough space for everything you could need and a spare shirt/pants...

Glad I Bought It
This is a grate briefcase! It is holding up to the daily abuse and harsh environment I subject it to every day in the construction industry. The whole time my laptop sits safely in the middle compartment....Happy shopping! ... Read more

It's what I wanted
The Bucket Boss Brand 54000 Cell Phone Holster from
Bucket Boss is great. I've only had it a couple of days and it keeps my cell handy. My only complaint is the Bucket Boss logo was sown on very poorly. The logo was off by over a 1/4 inch, it looked so bad that I cut it off. Would I buy another one YES

Innovative
After trying several brands of "cellphone carriers" for my Nokia, including Nokia's belt clip, this one is the best. It fits my cellphone nicely and is easy to "draw" when you need to answer or call. Simple but rugged. The clip is riveted as well as held to the entire assembly by a sewn on nylon strap. You can clip your cell just about anywhere the clip will fit. If you do a lot of crawling/climbing around, this is what you want! If you have a large cell get the large model!

Mike Backs Parks&Grounds Spec.
I have the Bucket Boss cell phone holder and I love it. I have the guys at work wanting to buy them. I found it at a Black&Decker Outlet store about 4o miles away and I would like for the Home Depot Store to start carring them so I don't have to drive so far to pick up the 5 or so I pick up for friends and so. I like it and I like the Bucket Boss inventory of products and hope to see them more in the Cincinnati Area. Thanks Again!!

Does as advertised...
The holster does as advertised. I've purchased 4 of them for my foreman, and have worn mine for almost a year. Not a problem with fit, as some might. It fits the vast majority of cell phones, my old Qualcomm fits, newer ones, older nokias fit also.

I'll order replacements, but I can't see them wearing out soon.

Poor quality
I purchased one of the Bucket Boss cell phone holsters about three months ago and wore it daily until it fell off of my belt! The rivet that holds the clip on the back had worn through the flimsy material. Prior to that I had trouble fastening the velcro closure because the material that the velcro hooks into no longer had any material that the velcro could latch onto, all the small fibers were straight and not looped. I am very dissatisfied with this product and I feel that it was manufactured from inferior material as well as having poor craftsmanship. I have purchased many other Bucket Boss products and I suggest that you stop selling this piece of junk! ... Read more

Works like a champ.
Bought this item for dear old pappy. He loves it! Easy in, easy out. When straped in the phone stays put! The large steel belt hook has a serious bit and will not slide off untill you take it off. Now, I need to buy a cell phone for my self and get another one of these for me!

excellent product
another great product from bucket boss. the clip makes it easy to use and take anywhere.

Finally, a decent phone pouch!
This is a functional phone pouch! The phone comes out of the pouch when you need it. Ever try to get one of those clip on pouches on or off your belt when your hands are full or your working? With this one the phone comes right out of the pouch and your not trying to see the buttons and screen through shiny plastic. And the clip is awsome, large enough for almost any belt and made of spring metal with a serious shaped bite! And if your not already familiar with the benefits of black ballistic nylon, it's what modern pistol holsters are made of. This is "The Pouch". Get one! ... Read more

Excellent for Oversized Safety Glasses
Very Spacious, Overbuilt and Excellent product from Bucket Boss. It isn't one of those silly, flimsy things you get at the eye doctor when you get new prescriptions. It IS too big for only one pair of prescription glasses. But for what it was made for, oversized SAFETY GLASSES, this item is excellent. And actually I place a pair of prescription glasses AND a set of clip on sunglasses to fit them in this pouch. Nice, soft, non scratch interior and rugged BB canvas outside. At the end of the day, I replace those with my safety glasses back into the case.
The metal clip works well on your hip or I also place mine inside my Bucket Boss.
I like my purchase!
John Row

Safety Glasses Pouch
This pouch takes any size of safety glasses, with side bellows and adjustable velco closure. Completely padded on the inside, your glasses will never get scratched. I don't use the belt clip, instead I push it onto one of the outside pockets of my tool bag. The stainless steel clip is so deep and so strong, it doesn't get pushed off like my tape measure which is constantly getting left behind. It looks great, too; matches my Pro GateMouth bag. The negatives - If you use small (prescription?) safety glass, the pouch is way too big, and I think [the price] is too expensive. ... Read more

Bucket Boss Contractor's Portfolio
This portfolio is not recommended for normal use, let alone contractor use. The pockets inside are too tight to carry pens and such in the pockets available. Additionally, the entire case is pretty flimsy and is a pain to carry.

wrong year
I ordered the portfolio for my brother as a gift in the year of 2002 and the calendar inside was for the year 2000. He loves the gift, but I have no idea where to get a calendar for him for the right year. Something I should not have to worry about when making a purchase.

Great Drywall Aid
In addition to the drywall screw bag, you always need your pencil, razor knife, phillips screwdriver and black marker. This handy sheath hooks to the front of the screw bag or onto your belt to keep these items at your fingertips. Really worth
the cost!

Good option
For those who hate velcro, this is a great option to carry the "multi-tool/mag-lite" combo. The addition of the pen loops is an added bonus. The clip is also really nice as you don't feel like it's going to break like similar tool-packs with plastic clips, and it's easy to get onn and off your belt.

What A Joke
This bag looks like a winner but the one I got lasted only two months the handle and sholder strap are held on the top of the front flap by some thread that is sewn in a large rivet an staples the hole conection point is less than 2 inches. Two weeks ago while walking in Boston to a service call the shoulder strap let go when the bag hit the concret the sound told me it all. My laptop screen was toast as well as the hard drive which now won't start up.If you buy this make sure the load is light

and check the handle often.

Durable Bag with Tons of Pockets
This bag is stuffed full of pockets. Both sides of the bag have access to pockets. One side has a thin, document-size pocket and 10 differently sized pockets. The 'Velcro' flap at the top flips up and there is a zipper around three sides to allow the panel to open completely for easy access. The main compartment is open, and there is only a thin document-size pocket on the back. My laptop fits inside, but the lack of padding makes me nervous. In front of the main compartment, there is the most useful bunch of pockets--2 of similar size (one with a 'Velcro' flap) fit my Palm perfectly, even in its rather bulky case. The crowning touches on this bag are the pockets on the side. The padded cell phone pocket is great for a cell phone (or sunglasses), and the tape-measure size pocket is perfect for my pager when I don't want to wear it. Overall, this bag is great for work and has more pockets that you'll know what to do with. One drawback of this bag, however, is the strap. It is short and not really padded, so carrying heavy weight (like a laptop) on my shoulder is difficult. As a briefcase, though, this bag works perfectly. It is durable, functional, and great value for the money. ... Read more
