The problem
A bucket is not a toolbox
Every concreter has thrown their gear in a bucket and hoped for the best. It costs you edges, handles and whole tools.
Loose in the bucket
What it costs you
- Trowel edges chipped against steel
- Handles cracked under the weight of everything else
- Tools buried under water, slurry and offcuts
- Gear left behind because nobody counted it out
- Replacing a $90 trowel three times a year
With Bucket Sleeve®
What you get back
- Every tool held upright and separated
- Blades never touch each other
- Grab what you need without digging
- Six slots means six tools — you can see what's missing
- Centre stays clear for water, a brush or step tools
A steel trowel runs about $90. A Bucket Sleeve is $39.95 plus GST. The maths only has to work once.
Six holders, one bucket, nothing rattling around chipping the edges off gear you already paid for.

Two ways to kit up
Starting fresh? Take the kit — bucket and sleeve together, ready to load. Already have buckets on the truck? Take the sleeve on its own.
Sleeve only
Bucket Sleeve®
The moulded insert on its own. Drops into any standard 15–23L bucket you already own, including your standard Bunnings bucket. Six tool holders, open centre, no fixings needed.
Add to cartHow it works
Three steps. No tools required.
There is nothing to assemble, nothing to bolt on and nothing to adjust.
01
Drop it in
Sit the sleeve inside any standard 15–23L bucket. It seats on the rim and holds itself in place.
02
Load your six
Trowel, mag float, edger, groover, brush and spinner. Each one sits upright in its own holder.
03
Count them back
Six empty slots at the end of the day tells you exactly what you left on the slab.

The rest of the kit
Tools that earn their slot
Trowels, floats, groovers and knee boards — the gear that goes in the sleeve, shipped from the same warehouse.
What bucket sizes does it fit?
Fits most standard buckets from 15 L to 23 L, including the standard Bunnings bucket. If you already have buckets on the truck, the sleeve will almost certainly drop straight in.
Will my trowel fit?
Yes. The largest holder opening is 138 mm, which takes a standard steel trowel and a mag float without forcing.
What about bigger edgers, groovers and spinners?
The Knee Board Sleeve has a larger opening than the standard holders, so it takes the bigger edgers, groovers and spinners that won't sit in a 138 mm slot.
Can I still use the bucket normally?
Yes. The centre of the bucket stays clear, so you can still carry water, a brush or step tools with the sleeve fitted.
Where do you ship?
Australia-wide, dispatched from Bayswater, Victoria. Shipping is calculated live at checkout using Australia Post rates, and it's free on orders over $200. New Zealand is coming soon — email us if you want to be told when it opens.
What trades use Bucket Sleeve?
Designed for concreters, and also used by tilers, renderers and bricklayers. Any trade carrying flat hand tools that shouldn't touch each other.
Do your prices include GST?
No. Prices shown are exclusive of GST. GST is calculated and added at checkout, and your tax invoice will show it separately.
What's the return policy?
30 days. Use it on a real pour. If it doesn't earn its place in your ute, send it back for a full refund.
Stop losing tools
One sleeve costs less than half a trowel. Free shipping on orders over $200, Australia-wide.
