With all the other cool stuff picked out for the cleaning your gutters the quick and easy way series, I begrudgingly come to the last item on the list: the waste bucket.

Now, I know what you’re thinking - why - oh why? - am I reading a review of a bucket tote?  I know it sounds stupid (especially on a blog that has two reviews of Stanley FatMax Xtreme FuBar pry/demo bars).  Trust me, I know.  But all kidding aside, the 47 pocket Bucket Tote is worth every bit of the price.

My wife likes it because it can hold just about all of her garden tools.  I like it because it can hold a lot of gutter cleaning tools.  And when I’m out landscaping, it’s got tons of places for me to put rock-breaking chisels, hammers, trowels, et cetera.  In fact, the Bucket Tote has 47 total pockets (30 exterior, 17 interior, hammer holster, tape chain) — so you can fill it with whatever you fancy.

I’m not sure what else to say… after all, it’s a bucket accessory.  Well, here’s something — I’ve found that it fits Home Depot contractor buckets really well with the tote.

Much like cleaning your gutters, hauling around a bucket tote can be a little bit, uh, emasculating.  But just like cleaning your gutters, an ounce of prevention (in this case, hauling all of your tools up the ladder with you) can save a lot of time in the long run.  Just think about how dry your basement will be when you don’t have water spilling out on your foundation!
