Meet the New Moerman Drywalker Flex

The Moerman DryWalker Flex bucket on a belt solves two problems most BOABs ignore: tool capacity and leg drip. It carries up to four squeegees — more than any competitor — or two squeegees plus a hip bucket shaped to stay off your thigh. The modular design lets you reconfigure in seconds without tools.

What's in the Set
DryWalker Flex Base. The curved hip bucket sits against your body without bouncing off your leg at every step. A built-in double squeegee holder rides the back. The front accepts either the snap-in bucket or the add-on tool holder — swap them in the field without unfastening anything.
Quick-Release Drip Tray. A transparent reservoir catches runoff before it hits your pants. You can eyeball the fill level without detaching it, and when it's full, one thumb-release empties it. Most BOABs treat drip management as an afterthought; this one puts it front and center.
Add-On Double Squeegee Holder. Pop the bucket out, click the second holder in, and you're carrying four squeegees — or two squeegees and a washer. For route work where you're switching sizes between panes, that extra capacity eliminates trips back to the bucket.
Why It Matters on the Job
Waterproof, abrasion-resistant shell. The material doesn't absorb water or fray against brick and stucco the way fabric BOABs do. Season after season, that's real money not spent on replacements.
True quick-detach. The male clip loops over your belt and snaps into the base. Pull the release and the entire unit comes off — no unbuckling, no threading, no lost time between storefronts.
Low-profile maneuverability. The curve and weight distribution keep it tight to your hip. Kneeling into sills or bending into transoms doesn't feel like you're wearing a saddlebag.
How It Compares
Traditional BOABs — like the Unger Bucket on a Belt or the Pulex Tubex — carry one or two squeegees and a bucket. The DryWalker Flex doubles that tool count and adds a dedicated drip system, all in a lighter package. The Moerman Tool Holder Classic is simpler and cheaper if you only need squeegee storage, but it lacks the bucket option and the drip tray entirely.
For operators running commercial storefront routes, the DryWalker Flex's modular swap between "bucket mode" and "four-squeegee mode" is the real selling point. You configure for the building, not the other way around.
Who Should Buy It
If you're working routes with mixed glass sizes and you're tired of a soaked pant leg by 10 a.m., this is the upgrade. Solo operators and two-person crews running storefronts will get the most from the modular layout. High-rise chair and rope-access crews who need minimal belt clutter should look at a simpler single holster like the Ettore Sidekick instead.
