Bucket Boss Brand 06065 Pro GateMouth Jr.

This is a solid, almost indestructible tool bag. Well worth its cost. However, it is possible to overload it to the point where it becomes too heavy to easily carry about and too cluttered to find a particular item quickly. I’m sure this is a workman’s constant complaint. If I had to buy it all over again I would opt for a slightly bigger size but that’s only because the nature of my job requires me to be a jack of all trades. If you are a specialist tradesman you’ll do fine with this bag.

I purchased this bag to replace a CLC bag that I had only been using for a few months. The CLC bag was great at first, but eventually started to sag. With the zipper on the 'Gatemouth' opening, I doubt that this will be much of an issue with this new bag.Pros-Small size allows for easy storage and doesn't allow a user to get too carried away with trying to keep the whole hardware store by their side.-The strap has plenty of adjustment for persons of different height and the clips are of a sturdy steel construction rather than the plastic or thin steel that is found on many other products.-The handles are sturdy and durable.-The large zipper on the opening makes for very easy opening or closing provided that the user doesn't try to overfill the bag.-The pockets are tight to the sidewalls of the bag allowing for good organization and keeping tools in place.-There are two (2) larger pockets on the ends of the interior of the bag that allow smaller tools/materials to be kept in one location without getting scattered all over the bottom.Cons-With a small bag like this, the pockets are few.-The small size limits the length of tools that can be placed in the sidewall pockets and the bottom of the bag.-The picture shows a different bag also offered by BucketBoss.-The sizing of the pockets makes sense for screwdrivers and wrenches but not much else.-There is no Tape Clip/Strap (Electrical, Teflon, etc.)-There is no Tape Measure Clip/StrapBottom LineThis bag is for service technicians who don't need every single tool with them all the time. The small size accommodates most tools that a given trade may require without allowing the user to overburden themselves with having too much junk. I would recommend this bag to anyone who requires a convenient way to carry the right tools and materials for the job from their service vehicle or around the shop/home.

I was hoping the pro would have better organizer pockets than the standard, but they are actually worse. One wall has skinny pockets, which I assume are for screw drivers, but the bag will not close properly if you actually fill them up. It is much better for these soft sided carriers to have several large pockets as these allow your handles to be pushed down diagonally so that you can close the bag. Not really sure what they are thinking with this design, but I would recommend that if you are looking for a hand tool carrier that you skip this one. It would serve well to hold power tools and batteries and such, but with hand tools you will kind of just end up with a pile of stuff on the bottom that you have to dig through with a flashlight to find what you are looking for.

I carried tools around in this little bag but never thought I could find what I needed - always had to empty bag to get what I needed. I purchased a Husky open topped hard side that I really like - turned this little Boss one into a drill carry bag - it works.

The Bucket Boss Gatemouth Junior is an awesome tool for a service technician. The pockets help to keep things organized and accessible and there is plenty of room for tools of your trade. I purchased this Pro bag to replace a well-worn Jr. bag I've been using for over ten years. Please note that the pockets are configured differently from the non Pro version. I hope to get used to this eventually. If not I will have to buy another Gatemouth Jr.! Any other bag is out of the question for me.GregField Service TechnicianAppalachian Services, Inc.Direct Mail Specialists

Seems that the big box stores like Lowes and H.Depot have a better selection of tool bags and a lot of them I looked at were made much better than the Bucket Boss. I am a little disappointed with the bottom of the bag as it is not very "thick" and with no rubber feet to support it I am not expecting this bag will take the punishment of daily Pro. use. The main reason I purchased on Amazon was to use a gift card. Only time will tell if this lasts.

Greetings,I live in the Northern California mountains with we have a real winter with rain, freezing everything, sleet and snow. I have no time for dainty anything6 months a year. I LOVE this bag. Extremely well made, roomy, zip top and sturdy. I can pitch, slip or throw this into the truck and it's all fine. Open it and even pile groceries in it out tp the car. Don't get me wrong: this is made for a 'delicate' mountain woman. it is small and handy. Will probably use it all year as well.

Looked a long time for this bag. Had my first one for 11 years finally wore out. new one is arranged the same but the material has been highly cheapened up. Not really satisfied with the material they use now, but will continue to use it until it wears out. Sure I will not get 11 years ouf of this one.
