Klein Tools Canvas Bucket with Leather Bottom, 12-Inch

Same 12-inch bucket, two material builds. Model 5104 is the standard canvas version. Model 5104FR is the flame-resistant one, made of No. 4 canvas and meeting the performance requirement of NFPA 701. If your crew works around hot work, arc-flash exposure, or a utility spec that calls for flame-resistant gear, order the 5104FR by part number - the standard 5104 will not satisfy that requirement.

The flame-resistant build, model 5104FR, is made from No. 4 canvas and meets the performance requirement of NFPA 701. That is the standard linemen and utility crews are usually asked to show on a hoisting bucket. The plain 5104 is standard canvas and carries no such claim.

Yes, that is what the construction is for. The leather-reinforced handle runs down the sides of the bucket rather than stopping at the rim, so the load pulls on the body instead of tearing at two stitched tabs. The bucket is stitched and riveted with a double-reinforced bottom. Keep the contents under the 100 pound working load limit and inspect the handle and stitching before each lift.

It measures 12 inches (30.5 cm) in diameter and 17 inches (43.2 cm) tall. The tall, narrow shape is what lets it hang on a hook or hand line without swinging wide, and 17 inches of depth keeps long screwdrivers and pliers upright instead of lying across the top.

There is one interior pocket - a single pocket total, no exterior tool loops or outer pouch rows. It is an open-tote style bucket meant to be loaded from the top, so if you need a bag with 20-plus organized pockets for sorting small parts, this is not that product. Most crews run this alongside a pouch or a tool bag rather than in place of one.

The bottom is doubly reinforced and the bucket is both stitched and riveted, which is what keeps the base from blowing out when it is dragged across concrete or set down loaded. Rivets at the stress points matter more than the canvas weight over time. Klein's guidance is to retire the bucket once wear shows rather than keep loading it, so for a fleet of trucks it is a consumable you replace on inspection, not a lifetime item.

It is assembled in the USA of U.S. and imported components. For agencies and institutional buyers working to a domestic-content preference, that is the exact wording on the product, so check it against the threshold your contract actually requires before you commit it to a bid.
