    I used the Motion Pro tool I ordered online. I followed BigFitz's advice about mounting the tool but try and try and try again I could not get it to hold down the bucket.
    Looking at the casing around the bucket I could see that my tool was making scratch marks just outside of where it could contact the bucket. So I put the tip in a vise and bent it ever so slightly outward, (actually about three micro-adjustments) and then it started to work. If you try to "adjust" your tool, be super careful because the tool is a brittle cast metal.

    #12 house wire is safer than a cable tie if you insist on going that route.
