It’s time for another Cool Tools review. This time we’re looking at the Bucket Boss parachute bag. I got this for around $12 on Amazon, and if you want the same one, using the link in the description helps support my videos and the Cool Tools blog.

Until recently, I’ve not had a great way for organizing screws. I’d buy them, bring them home in a box, and then put that box in a bigger box just for screws. It worked, but it didn’t travel well without screws going all over the place.

The parachute bag has deep pockets that can hold your screws and keep them separated. You’ve got six main pockets, plus 13 little ones on the outside, good for screwdrivers, and extra bits.

The best part is that a cord here on the side cinches the whole thing up. Not only does this make it compact and easy to carry around, but with the plastic stop pulled in, it does a great job preventing anything from spilling out. You can toss this in the back of your car and not worry about it spilling.

On the ground, opened up, the weight of the screws and the flat bottom keeps everything stable. The main pockets are made from a thick canvas, and overall this feels like it will take some years of abuse without tearing.

Also, as the name brand implies, these are made to perfectly fit inside a common 5 gallon bucket.

I learned about parachute bags from watching a great video about screws on the Essential Craftsman YouTube channel, which I recommend checking out. I’ll link to his video in the description, where you’ll also find the Amazon link to the Bucket Boss bag.

And remember you can see thousands of reader recommended tools just like this at Cool-Tools.org.
