Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fiskars 9424 Garden Bucket Caddy
Customer Review: A little too small for a five gallon bucket, but it gets the job done well
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this first as a Christmas gift for my mom, as she complained that she could never seem to find an effective system of storage/transport for her gardening supplies. She raved so much about it that I came back and ordered one for myself.
With just a small container garden on my balcony, I use the pockets for pruning snips, scissors, a transplanter, shovel, and even my cell phone. My large spritzer bottle fits nicely, too. At the beginning of the season, the space in the bucket is useful for carrying potting soil. I just love that I can fill it up and get to work without having to lug the bag of potting soil and tools around separately (and dropping it all along the way). After planting is over I use the bucket for everything from extra pots and loppers (for the tall trees that invade my balcony space) to potato chips and other snacks to enjoy while I'm making my watering/trimming rounds.
The only flaw -- and it is a negligible one -- is that it is a bit short and it takes some tugging to get it snugly around the bucket. Once on, though, it stays, so this wasn't too much of a hassle.
Overall, it is lightweight, durable, and well-thought out. I would recommend this to any gardener looking for a practical means of storing & transporting supplies.
Customer Review: A worthy gadget
Summary: 4 Stars
Not one for gadgets, but I recently bought this for my wife and she loves it. What she particularly likes about it is that she can easily haul her stuff about the yard and keep everything together. A surprisingly useful purchase.Customer Review: An Edge for the Older Gardener
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife has a green fist! Yes, I know the cliche is: "my wife has a green thumb." Every living plant, vine, bush or tree she touches in her garden or around the house grows, thrives, and reproduces. Indeed, even slips from someone else's garden bursts into life when she transplants it.Our little garden out back is a riot of color and variety and only a year ago it was a dry plot of deep, impenatrable lifeless clay. Today people suck in their breath when they walk out the patio door into her "Eden" (my name for the space).
But my wife is about to turn 70. She is plagued with migraine headaches, vertigos and is having a long convelescence from a fall that broke many things. She is slower, more deliberate in pace. Stooping is a hazard and so is running back and forth for tooks.
But out she goes each day to trim, water, admire and talk to her growing things. She needs an assistant or attendent who makes her chores less painful. The bucket caddy and a little army surplus stool fit the bill.
She sits on the little canvas stool and places the caddy next to her with all her favorite tools, plant foods and mysterious sprays. She waters from that position.
There is less pain in her day, less worry and so the lucious colored and growing things thrive and spread and even march up the outside walls of our house. For 50 years she nourished and nurtured the lives of young children in the class room, now she continues in her garden. People like my wife should have all the convenient and proper tools they need for their work for they are part of ongoing creation which benefits us all.
Her husband? Even a silk plant dies in his office! Thanks for creating a thoughtful helpmate with this product for my wife.
Customer Review: Bucket Caddy Gift a Hit
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the caddy as a birthday gift for my stepmother. I had no trouble finding a bucket at a paint store to fit it. It appears to have all the qualities advertised. It has enough pockets to satisfy the most industrious gardner. My stepmother appears to be thrilled with it. She has already started using it in the garden. She commented that now she can keep track of her cordless phone when she is gardening. If I had the caddy, I suspect I wouldn't lose so many garden tools.Customer Review: Bucket Organizer
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a simple and functional product. It does just what it is supposed to do, and does it well. I can easily carry my biggest lopping shears, hand saw, right down to my smallest trimming and weeding implements, and the 5 gallon bucket easily supports it. Things are readily reached with the small things in slots around the outer rim.
