I am thinking of making my own tool bucket from a std 5 gallon bucket. I once had a good slipover carrier that I loved; used it for about 5 years. It had just the right pockets all around. I have seen are either flimsy or wrong pockets; can't find the same one again.
I want to glue PVC tubes around the inside, long enough for each screwdriver & nutdriver handle to come about an inch from the top, leaving room for a lid. Larger PVC's for set of combo wrenches, allen wrench sets, etc. Smaller bucket glued down in middle to hold hammers, etc. Will PVC glue hold long term to a bucket or should I use something like Liquid Nails? Has anyone tried this sort of thing? Maybe I will fiddle around with some scraps this afternoon.
I have worked the last several years with a Craftsman tub style box with 2 trays at top. A good box, but it too is now obsolete. Mine is tearing up more by the day and will totally fall apart soon. Plus, as I get older, the box full of stuff seems to get heavier.
