Abstract
Abstract This invention discloses a tool holder insert adapted to engage the inner surface of the wall of a plastic bucket between the open end and closed bottom. The insert is annular in configuration and includes apertures and notches for holding tools, sporting equipment and the like. A variation of the tool holder is a strip of metal which is bent into a sinuous, circular configuration which is fastened to the inner surface of the wall of the plastic bucket between the open end and closed bottom. The sinuous configuration of the variation provides notches and flutes which hold the tools, etc. Spacers which engage the insert may be used to increase the overall diameter of the insert, if necessary.
