    The amount of storage those buckets would require would be ridiculous. I'll stick to furniture pads. I can roll a 5x6 furniture pad up and fit 14 of them in a 18x24x60 toolbox

    They take less space than mover blankets or edge protectors. Stack like tacos.

    Tarpstop sells rubber matting in 2'X4' dimensions. Fold in half and bungee in place. Roll them up and tuck away when not in use.

    I just spent nearly the whole day patching up 40 little holes in one tarp. I will make room for the padding after this!

    They may stack like tacos, but I guarantee on a loaf of machinery, blankets is the way to go or felt. I've never seen a bucket wrap around a corner on a machine.
