VESSEL TBK-300F Tough Fit Bucket M with Lid MOLLE Tool Bag Shoulder Japan For Sale

VESSEL TBK-300F Tough Fit Bucket M with Lid - MOLLE, Shoulder, IS THE REVISED developed the TBK-300F specifically toaddress complaints about the original TBK-300.
Their own account of what owners told them:
It does not stand up on its own Tools sink to the bottom and are hard to find There is no lid, so contents can spill in transit The MOLLE webbing on the sides cannot be used properly because the bucket flexes
All four are addressed here. If you have used theoriginal and found those things, this is the is a bucket that behaves like a tool box.
The Tough Fit Bucket was already well regarded by Japanese tradesmen forone specific quality: the shape fits against the body, so it does not swingor shift when carried on a shoulder or round the neck. You can work with ithanging on you.
What it was not was a tool box. Open top, soft sides, tools at the bottom.
The F model keeps the shape and adds the structure.
A LID. Removable, and built so debris does not get in around the edge -which on a site full of dust and cuttings is what fills an open bucket withgrit. It also means nothing falls out while it is being carried.
AN INNER. Pockets, large and small, so tools are visible and reachablerather than piled. Supplied with the bucket.
IT STANDS UP. An internal wire and the inner\'s stiffening give the sidesrigidity. Stack them, or put long tools in, and it holds its shape insteadof collapsing.
That rigidity is also what makes the MOLLE webbing usable. On a bucket thatflexes, an accessory mounted on the side moves with it; on a rigid one itstays put. Front and inside webbing, taking standard MOLLE accessories.
A carrying handle for moving it a short distance without putting theshoulder strap on.
The shoulder strap mounts in more than one position.
A hook, for hanging it from a step ladder - which is where a bucket on ajob usually needs to be.
6 kg capacity. Around 250 x 350 x 170 mm.
