Welcome!
You are bidding on the
SELF LEVELING
BUCKET CADDY!
THIS PRODUCT IS THE ANSWER IF YOU
SPEND TIME WORKING UP ON A
LADDER!
How does it work? The BUCKET CADDY handle simply slips inside any rung on your ladder. Your 3.5/4/5 gallon bucket sits inside the hoop of the BUCKET CADDY. The bucket can can swing in two different directions and will keep itself upright and level so that it doesn't spill.
What is the BUCKET CADDY made of? This item is made of formed steel rod, and welded to be solid and durable. The BUCKET CADDY will last forever. If you don't loose it, you will always have it. We offer a lifetime replacement warranty on this item.
Will it hold a full bucket of liquid? The BUCKET CADDY can easily hold a full can of paint, HOWEVER, it is not recommended. That amount of weight held on the side of the ladder will be very unstable, and would cause the ladder to pull sideways, and possibly fall over.
How does the BUCKET CADDY make any job on a ladder easier? By using the CADDY you can push the handle of your bucket completely to one side or the other. This gets the handle out of your way and allows you to dunk your paint roller straight in and out. The positioning of the bucket on the outside edge of your ladder is also great for easy and quick access. If you position a paint off grate in the pail you will have a very efficient painting system.
What is it that holds the BUCKET CADDY in the ladder rung? The weight that pushes down on the hoop shaped part when a bucket is inserted, applies pressure to the side of the shaft that slides into the hollow rung. This pressure keeps the unit from sliding in or out. We also include a rubber sleeve over the steel shaft to keep the shaft from sliding out of the hollow rung.
How can I be sure the BUCKET CADDY will fit my ladder? The CADDY fits on all modern aluminum, fiberglass and composite ladders sold today. If your ladder has hollow rungs, then the CADDY will fit. On some ladder models with very large hollow rungs, it may be necessary to add a little duct tape around the shaft before inserting it into the rung. The tape will help take the play out of the oversized hollow rung hole. The CADDY is not designed to work with a step ladder.
Who needs to own a BUCKET CADDY? I would love for everyone to own one, but the people who really need one are those Do-It-Yourselfers who are always up on a ladder painting, washing windows, cleaning gutters, using tools or doing anything that can be carried easily in a bucket. The BUCKET CADDY makes a great gift for someone who has everything and fixes it all themself!
If your occupation, or the occupation of someone you love is that of a Painter then YOU MUST HAVE a BUCKET CADDY. This product will really speed up your paint application time. Consider how much time you may save if you don't have to maneuver your roller inside and around the bucket handle and the hanging brackets of your typical S-hook style hanger.
How much is the BUCKET CADDY worth? We sell this item to several catalog distributors, such as MSC Industrial, Improvements and others. The retail price there is $21.20 plus shipping for this unit, go look on line, and you will see. It is probably worth a lot more, if you were to include the benefits you will get from using this tool. We have started this auction at $5, and put NO RESERVE on the price. We will sell it for whatever the winning bidder offers.
Has the BUCKET CADDY had any press coverage, won any awards or been reviewed by an expert? Yes, yes and yes. The BUCKET CADDY has been written up in several industry magazines. Paint and Decorating Retailer, Hardware News, Hardware Today, Handyman and several others. The BUCKET CADDY won the award for best-in-show for the hardware show in 2000. Many home improvement experts and several product design engineers have reviewed the BUCKET CADDY and all have given it praise, and very high marks. I get calls and E-mails almost everyday, where someone has seen one of my BUCKET CADDY in use on a job site or one of their co-workers has one, and they must have one for themself. It is really great to sell a product that really does solve a problem and help people out.
Is anything else like the BUCKET CADDY available? Not really, because the other units simply attach to the buckets handle somehow and then attach to the rung or rail of the ladder. Most are made of metal, but are not nearly as durable if dropped or bumped. Don't buy their junk, instead bid on a tool that will really pay you back every time you use it!
