You can get the floor template tool on amazon here. Cheers! amzn.to/3fVE8En
Those buckets are cool but if yoh want to spend 400-500$ get a sweet milwaukee packout set up!!!
Yep, you had me at “save you going up and down the stairs a hundred times”. 👌
I literally just said to myself this afternoon I need a video about how to organize my tools. Thank you
Soon you will need a video how to open a video? Seriously this is becoming quite sad how people live... The other day someone on Facebook asked should hi cut his grass or not like wtf...
Been using these for 15 yrs. I also get different colors for buckets. Blue from Lowes for plumbing(blue=water), Red/Orange from HD for electrical(red=danger) Green from Menards for carpentry, (Green=wood). This way I can see them from a distance. I have several blue ones too some without the pouch for extra/oversize plumbing stuff.
Most of my expenses now a days is re-buying tools I can't find 😫
You too. Now I have 7 tape measures 9 utility knifes and the list goes on
I always find the missing one 5 minutes after using the new one 😭
@@joemachine4714 I really thought I was the only one.
Oh man! Exactly! I've done it a lot. I did it just yesterday. I need to install a dead bolt and could not find the hole saw or arbor. Off to Lowe's!
Lol! Amen!
You can't just leave us hanging with the power tools idea and not tell us. I'm renovating a lake cabin and 4 cabinets this summer, will be getting some professional help as it is just too much but your channel is awesome. I was just shopping around for how to carry all my power tools. Great idea for the hand tools. Thanks for everything!
I am a DIYer and found the beauty of the bucket organizers years ago. Not much of a DIYer but at least I am organized when I am messing something up.
I totally agree Jeff. I’ve organised my shed into categories and my Bucket O Tools is in the corner ready to be filled with what the job needs.
I used this idea and it changed my workflow completely. Absolutely invaluable. I used tubs because I move a lot and the tubs store nicely.
I just began a project to widen our fridge alcove and got the notion to throw everything I needed into a plain old bucket to haul upstairs BEFORE seeing this. It’s nice to have some confirmation that I might know what I’m doing from time-to-time. Thanks, Jeff!
This is what my dad used, I have it now and I love it mainly because it reminds me of him but it does do the job!!
Jeff i used to watch this old house during its early days when Bob Vila actually taught you something. I came across your videos and can't stop watching them! Your like Bob Vila on steroids! You don't talk down to your viewers. You come across to me like your just one of us. The tips and tricks you show us are useful and time saving! You keep making these videos, ill keep watching them!!!👍👍
Jeff, I love your simple no none sense approach to renovation projects. I am learning and growing a lot from your videos. The bucket organization is so simple, easy and budget friendly. It beats spending hundreds of dollars on Milwaukee Packout boxes and similar storage devices. I even got an additional bucket with a seat on top for when I need to take a quick break. I would like to see how you handle your power tools as well. Keep bringing great content.
I have been doing this for years. Some of my friends and people I meet on a job think I am crazy. But grabbing a plumbing bucket or an electric pail is way easier than trying to sort your tools before you hit the road. I probably have fifteen categories. Drywall is unto itself. Hole saws. Drill box. Wire wheels. Angle grinder. Saws all. Jig saw. Etc. Two of everything is an understatement more like four.
Please make a short video
Just of each bucket!
Could go viral!!
I have been doing that for about a year now. Best thing ever. Keep up the good work, I love watching your videos. I find them incredibly helpful.
Hey Jeff, This is just the video I needed to see. My shop organization has gone crazy, and this may be just what I needed!
I live by this tool mindset: one is none & two is one!!
I had power professionally installed this spring to my detached garage/shop and will be organizing tools soon! Appreciate all the ideas and other videos for projects!! Sheetrock project planned for this fall!
Great ideas! I just got a craftsman rolling tool organizer for my circular saw, drill, impact driver, and sander…loving it so fat
So I have one of those for my carpenter tools and it works great but never even thought about using one for my plumbing tools and electrical tools and automotive tools, but I will now. Thank you for your time and knowledge.
I’d be interested in power tool storage too!
Great storage solution. thanks for sharing.
i didnt know i needed to see this, but will help my life alot right now during renovations
That’s what I’m doing since five months ago to figure out how to organize my tools. Thank you Jeff
I’ve spent hundreds of dollars in Milwaukee pack out which is handy and helps in organizing. But your simple cheap solution makes me think I may have overspent and over complicated my system making me move slower than yours. Love it!
I also use pencilpouches for tiny stuff. Bits, marker, blade, awl, few screws... tiny stuff. And specific pouch for electrics - small tester, cablestrippers, cutters, wagos, heatshrink, isolated screwdrivers, tape, etc.
Thanks for the tips Jeff! I'm currently building a glory hole stall in the bathroom of a local 7/11 and I'll definitely be using these tips!
Love the tip. I have 1 bucket... and that's not enough. Because the tool I need is either in the basement, the garage, the car, or the bucket. So I'm still running up and down the stairs. I now realize I need for sure a plumbing bucket and probably some others. You are THE DIY Guru.
Such a great video! Thank you!!!
Hi Jeff! Let me start off by saying what an amazing channel you have. I’ve been binge watching. I just bought my first house. Can you plz make a video of tools every new home owner should have. For reference I’m a 36 yr old male. Always lived in a apartment before and I’m city kid. Now I have to manage a yard and home repairs.
This seems like an excellent system. Thanks for sharing!
Thank You. Great advice.
Only the second video of yours that I watched and I've already learned so many things things I've been trying to figure out on my own for YEARS. Going to put the blower attachment with my carpentry stuff right now...
The best video! You are a real genius. I am going to get some pails right now.
Glad I could help
I’ve been renovating our bathroom. Aka wainscoting, trim, vanity, flooring, and paint. For my birthday I asked for a bucket organizer! It’s the best!!!!!!
I was thinking this afternoon that I needed to figure out a way to organize things. You are always putting out videos that match my needs and projects! Keep it up. Last year was new deck, this year we are doing full kitchen remodel (even though you tried to talk us out of it this year ) 😀. Infilling floor tile where existing cabinets sat, light plumbing, some drywall, tiled backsplash, and those LED puck lights you did a video about ! Love your channel
Glad it was helpful!
Love the bucket organizers. I do the same thing; a bucket for every trade. I like to renovate houses too, but I like to stick to interior work. Bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, etc. Keep up the good work. As always, love the videos!
Simple and efficient. Thank you Jeff!
I have come to a realisation this morning: I got more entertainement value here than on Netflix. And that's on top of the great information provided. It is also on top of taking DIYers seriously, especially with your recent initiatives.
On a personnal note, this channel helped me a ton in the last years. We purchased an old house an remodeled it all. The whole thing: gutted it, replaced the fundations & mechanicals, relocated the stairs, removed a raccoon family in the attic, etc, etc. As a bonus, I am certainly not alone to appreciate your humor and your realistic, honest delivery.
I am Happy to throw in few canadian bucks now, for what they're worth anyway. As they say, better late than never.
Big thanks! Keep it up!
From the Great republic of Quebekistan.
Awesome video! I'm decluttering my tools and realized I've got 5 of everything because I've ended up having to buy something that I knew I had, but couldn't find! Watched your video, ran out and bought 3 buckets & 3 organizers. So simple- wish I would have seen it 50 tools ago!
I rock with milk crates from the supermarket for storage and a few bungee cords on a hand truck. WOOOOOOOO!!!
very nice!
Another great cheap solution, but the holes in milk crates aren't good for small parts.
This is a genius this idea perfect for DIY. Just need to solve the power tool organisation now
I did the same kind of thing with tool boxes I collected over 5 decades ranging from steel to plastic construction. Plumbing, welding, electrical (2), precision measuring, electronic detection, painting and a couple of others. I have one bucket with the pocket gizmos and a couple of empties. I pick and choose for the job and load them up.
great video, game changer, glad i found this!!!
I'm a bit fancy on the Packout system - what I REALLY like are the 15" organizer totes they offer. I'm a plumber, so I have one for general hand tools, and I have one for my soldering kit. It fits an MC tank, paste, spark lighters, pliers, flame pad, and an old peanut butter container where I keep odd 1/2" fittings. Same idea, saves a TON of time, makes organizing simple. The only difference is that I don't have as much space - so I have to pay up for the engineering! Honestly though, it's an amazing system, I love it, and going from one small job to the next (sometimes I'll go to five sites in a day), it REALLY simplifies the process of meeting the customers' needs
This is amazing! Great idea! We have been installing new hardwood floors then landscaping next is a small half bath
👏👏Nice gift for Fathers Day🤔 Mannnn !!! I need four for myself. One to carry my kitchen utensils when I do party’s and one for my cleaning supplies for the church🙏🏻 one for all the kids toys and treats on travel and one for all my mechanic 🧰 tools Awesome 😎 thank you
Love it!!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!
I do this but with command bins so I can stack them on storage shelves! Great video!
Great solution for my tools. Haven't tried the bucket organizers. I am using grocery bins marked, plumbing, electrical, Car and saws. Consider a Fathers day gift idea show. simple things kids or wife can get you.
So helpful , Jeff thx
I made this switch and I'm not going back, it works so well and nothing gets misplaced anymore!
Thank you for the tip
Loved this one.
I'm working on making a wood mallet for my collection 😊 I love your videos
Brilliant!
My favorite channel! I have learned so much! Thank you!
I just bought three $20 tool bags for electrical, plumbing, and carpentry tools. I chose bags over buckets because I often bring tools to family's houses via my truck's back seat if weather is wet or via the trunk of my wife's car, and buckets are bulkier and tippier. It feels so much better to be organized--i used WalMart bags and cardboard boxes before.
his energy can light up a city. super great vid Jeff!
I would like a video on how to use those stair template tools! I’ll be doing my stairs soon
and spiral stair cases, how to cut for those odd angles, and put the pointed corners together!
Ditto this. I literally lost a shim between a tread and a riser.
Milk crates are handy as well. I keep rolls and tubes of stuff as well as spray cans in a couple.
Jeff youre an inspiration to us all! My dad has been collecting tools his entire life and as i take on that mantle, im always looking for ways to org. Working on some painting projects soon and my tools are a mess (lol). Highly anticipating the fishwire vid!
So simple yet so practical. I like it.
Thanks Jeff your awesome
The projects I’m working on are an attic walk in closet, bathroom refinishing ( tile floors,vinyl shower wall board, stair refinishing, and many others. A lot of replacing/dealing with water spots on drywall ceiling
As always, your tips of the trade are most relevant. Thanks for sharing,..
I appreciate that!
Sparky here. I've got a Milwaukee packout kit. Could've used a different modular rolling tool cart but definitely needed for all my tools.
Love the philosophy though. I'll try organizing my tools into slab, parkade, rough in, finishing, quick access and low frequency access
I started using buckets a while ago and then I got organizers to go inside and it really changed how effective I was I did not have to waste time looking for things I did just like you said in the video and had a bucket for each trade
Man that's brilliant! Absolutely love your channel
Great idea spent an hour looking for a specific screwdriver today that I couldn't find usually they're all together but for some reason this one but for a walk
So glad I subscribed to your channel. Videos are always excellently done and easy to follow. Keep up the great work and be safe.👍
Thanks Jeff, great content.
Thank you. So simple and practical. You've given me ideas.
I am not organized from birth. I needed to design a simple solution and this works great for me.
Very nice video, and thanks for sharing, God bless.
Great ideas
Great advice. Thanks, Jeff. Steve
Thank you ♥️
I am renovating a 150 year old church. I dug out the basement so I could have 12’ ceilings. I am building a home/ recording studio/ photo/video studio. Rooms are isolated on their own pads and ceiling will be hanging on springs to reduce sound transmission. Controlling sound makes this build very interesting. I appreciate your channel.
Those bucket organizers look amazing! I just so happen to have a few 18 gallon pales around the house that I could use for this!
in a couple of weeks i'll be looking into replacing my front door and my side door to my garage, this would be awesome! looking forward to it -- if I can get a great deal on doors interior/exterior, that'll absolutely be awesome!
I spend more time cleaning and organizing my shop than I do actually getting things done! I had to go out and buy beefier tools and equipment when I started using hardwood for everything, so I now I have more tools than I do room to put it all. An 'Entire Shop Organization' video would be nice, I haven't found one yet that really fits what I need.
Cheers from Orlando!!
You're awesome. I'd say, "that is all" but it's just the beginning - this channel rocks
I started using the pail years ago. The reason was when in a crawl space when you got to the far end you need a tool, screw that you did not have. So out you crawl again and again. With the bucket it had all your tools, screws or what ever you needed. Was good to carry your waste material back out also. I now use it on every job not just the crawl spaces.
I had planned to TRY to organize my tools! Now I know what I need to do! 😀
Happy to help Rebecca!
Went to replace some old outlets and light switches yesterday and couldn't find a single pair of needlenose pliers or my wire strippers because my tools are all over the place. I decided that rnough was enough, and instead of doing what I had planned to do, I instead spent my day finding all my tools from the bins and boxes that they had been kept. Then, I decided to put together 'kits' for different types of work i.e. electrical, carpentry, and I figured that I'd look to others to see how they go about organizing their tools. Stumbled onto this video which was EXACTLY what I needed. Pails are a genius idea.
Jeff you’re a legend
Cant wait for the fishtape video, i need to i stall a new ceiling ligh box!
coming soon jason!
Nice video. I have been using an EVA box to store my small tools, such as markers, awls, screwdrivers, small hammers, etc. It is more suitable for carrying with you or putting in the car. If it is stored in a bucket, it feels like it can hold more.
Very old school approach as these newer modular storage systems weren’t around . I’ve used buckets for tools because it was free buckets from materials that we used and till this day I organize my tools by buckets too :) but I do have a few crates as well for more home storage workshop type stuff
Great video as usual.
Awesome video Jeff… I have a few of those bucket organizers and they work great. Lots of pockets like you mentioned to store all kinds of tools. I do have one for electrical, but now I have to get one for plumbing… Currently my plumbing tools are in one of those cloth type tote bags but some of the tools are buried and I have to move stuff around to see what’s below. The bucket ideal is perfect because I’ll be able to see most if not all of my tools at a glance. Re my current project: I’m converting my old kitchen into a bedroom since I built a 25’x 28’ great room with a kitchen / living room with a two-car garage below and I’m almost done with that… My next project is redoing or replacing a wooden front porch. When I constructed it, I used womanized construction wood? Now it’s getting old and time to redo it. I want to use structural grade plastic 2x10’s and 2x8 for the framing and the same for the flooring. My question is - is recycled construction grade plastic a good option to use since I don’t want to have to redo this porch again or is there a stronger grade rot resistant wood like hickory, I should be using…? Thanks for any thoughts and reply… PS Just absolutely love your videos… You certainly have a huge amount of experience and I appreciate the heck out of the videos. Save me a ton of work with those great tips+… THANK YOU….!!! Ray
I absolutely love my bucket organizers.
In addition to the bucket organizers for tools, I have about a dozen clear totes on a couple of shelves in my shop where I store consumables and parts and other stuff that I don't need in the actual buckets. One for electrical, one for sanding, one for woodwork, one for concrete and tile, etc
Oh... And parachute bags for fasteners!
You are the best.
THIS WORKS! I used two old sets of office drawer units; Every drawer has a specific set of tools. I stacked them and put a 'lazy susan' bearing plate on top. This holds 4 small parts cabinets in a square; So I can spin things around and always find the small parts, screws, nuts, bolts, connectors electronic parts etc. I need. The 'other stuff' I store in folding shopping crates 'one topic' in a crate.
When preparing for a project I know where to find things. If need be, I make a 'projectbag'. I'll have all I need at hand. Only the small parts cabinets cost me some money. Total cost: less than $100.
Missed your video's. Already put my tools in a bucket inside and in the wheelbarrow outside. Lets renovate something!
Coming from a contractor, easy and great tips!
You have an eerie way of posting exactly the video I need when I need it!
The secret is RUclips tells me what everyone is thinking. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY LMAO... That was great...!
Thanks for reminding me just how things can be made easier.
Happy to help! sometimes a $20 solution is better than a thousand $ one!
Best advice out there. Everyone else is just comparing the expensive pack-out systems.
Thanks 4 sharing! I like the system but i think is good for smb who is using them quite frequently. As a homeowner that is using them seldom, i personally chose the Dewalt Tstack System although i spent around $600 but it keeps all my tools (incl all electrical ones) out of dust +occupying almost the same space as about 5 of those buckets. If i would work on a daily basis w them, ur system is more practical, indeed.
Attempt 2 :) Hi Jeff, Thank you for the great videos! I'm totally newbie here (ex. USSR past, Missouri USA present), from concrete 9 floor 13 entrance apartments to my own 33 years 2 story classic wood frame house in O'Fallon, Missouri. Most of my previous approaches (for the tools, materials and etc.) 95% not aligned for the USA (and inches and ft... :) ) Future plans: master bedroom (celling, walls - to paint, change the carpet (it was 2 dogs and 1 cat here and I'm allergic for them plus smell that they have left) for the vinyl sheet or vinyl planks (still can't to decide). Roof also has a very short rafter tails (almost with one level with the siding) and the siding (and artifactial bricks) with the existing roof creating the perfect Niagra falls to my basement (and windows) - probably I need to make them longer and use something to cut the flow above and under the window on 2nd flore, above and under the window of the 1st flore and where the wall connected to the foundation - some sort of a protective skirt (?)... Roof insulation (now I have 2-3 inches of "blowed paper". Then I probably continue with flooring for the rest of the rooms... Will appreciate any suggestions, especially for the advise where to buy vinyl (planks or sheet). Thank you
