Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fiskars 9424 Garden Bucket Caddy
Customer Review: Right idea? Wrong execution?
Summary: 2 Stars
The Fiskars 9424 Garden Bucket Caddy surely has appeal to somebody, but I can't imagine the Caddy really having any kind of mass appeal. It's a good idea - for someone who has the need to tote a bucket and yard tools - but that leads to this question: Who needs to tote a large bucket and garden tools?
Answer: gardenders who do a lot of weeding?
That's the answer I got from a number of people who said that the bucket had "all kinds of uses in the garden" and then had difficulty explaining those needs coupled with the need to tote the tools with the bucket.
I'm not intending to be short sighted here. Believe me, I see lots of uses for a bucket and tools - weeding, harvesting, seed toting, bulb toting, or just extra space to store larger gardening items - like bags of lime or fertilizer.
But you should ask yourself first, before you buy - do I tote things in a bucket and need my gardening tools when I do?
The design seems fine, but has some flaws. For starters, some of the pockets have no bottoms... and if you don't have the right size tool in there, these pockets are then useless. When you do have something in there that's large enough to provide resistance, it's a bit unweildy.
Loaded down, the Caddy is heavy, maybe even too heavy to fit nicely on the bucket. The more you have in the caddy, the snugger the fit. Completely loaded with a series of tools, we found the caddy almost impossible to fasten aroung the bucket we had. And be careful selecting a bucket. Buckets with heavy trim or banding near the top may be the right volume but will not work with this caddy - it just won't reach around.
Fiskars would be wise to recommend a bucket or two to send customers in the right direction. You may find a quick trip to your local bix bog hardware store doesn't yield a good bucket.
The other major issue is this: You can't empty the bucket with the caddy on unless you want to play fruit basket turnover with your tools. There's no locking mechanism or tie back to keep the tools in place when the bucket is inverted - so you can fill the bucket, but you'll have to remove the caddy first before you then empty the bucket.
Also, depending upon the handle on your bucket - you may find it difficult to get the handle out of the way when the caddy is in place.
Bottom line: I'm just not sold on this device that looks like it should be handy and useful in the photographs. Practicality, design issues, and limited use make for a below average product.
UPDATE: We saw an AVID SCRAPBOOKER with this device, wrapped around a bucket. She has all sorts of scrapbooking tools in the caddy, and the bucket became a portable trash can. Not the intended use, but very resourceful. Go figure!
