Pluggers by Rick McKee for August 20, 2024

We Pluggers is ain’t no fancy-pants see.

A “Pro” Plugger uses two….one for tools and one to sit on….

And he’s got a bucket under his shirts.

Real plugger has metal buckets, one is 10gallons for mixing one 60 pound bag of Sakrete with a big drill motor and paddle.

It works ! Nothing more to be said ;-)

A good 5 gallon bucket has lots of uses, including turn it upside down for a quick side table outside.

Sometimes a Plugger toolbox is one five-gallon pail stuck inside another.

I use a 5 gallon bucket, but it has a liner with pockets to keep my hand tools seperate

But it’s probably orange and says Home Depot or white and says Ace Hardware on the sides.

As a registered plugger, I disagree with the sentiment and this guy’s use of a five gallon bucket. I “needed” a shoulder supported tool belt and several bags for the tools I routinely use, and by that I mean the tool belt called to me.

Plugger won’t use an oversized man purse.

Or five. Or ten.

Been there. Done that. Works like a charm.

You can buy a fancy Rubbermaid pail for $25, or a 5 gallon pail for $1.50. Or if you know someone who works at Subway, free. Empty pickle pails, they just smell for a while. A long while.

Often a smaller pail inside for smaller or more delicate ‘stuff’. If they don’t fit in all the pockets in your classic work/everyday jeans. Check where the white wear marks are over each pocket to get a clue as to what is most commonly stored there.

My usual tool bag these days is a repurposed reusable grocery bag.

Yesterday I installed a new mailbox. I did the same thing. Thank you, Lowe’s for saving me a lot of money.
