By coincidence we formerly used the 5 gallon bucket with a fabric tool caddy as part of our kit for cleaning machines in my business. I got tired of the inefficiency of workers digging around in the bucket for tools and mostly because they quickly became a nasty soiled mess, both inside and out.
Considering that some BK might want the option of easy washing and sanitizing, and some BK will sanitize tools between each hive or yards. I might just make a tool caddy for my beekeeping, same process I currently use to make aluminum tool caddies with magnet tool holders, bays for specialized tools and easily removable bins for rags. I think the change saves us something in the neighborhood of 20 min/day per employee. That's a lot of money over a year and they really liked the change. Cleaning them is a breeze.
Thanks for the inspiration.
I will have to weld one up and it will have a stool/seat as part of it. My back will thank me. I really like the uses for neodymium magnets.
