Using this Klein work bucket is a breeze. First, unzip the top and place your tools inside. Make sure not to exceed the 100 - pound (45 kg) load limit to ensure safe operation. When you need to hoist the bucket, use the swivel snap hook. The bright orange color helps you keep track of it easily. As for maintenance, wipe it down with a damp cloth regularly to keep it clean. Store it in a dry place to maintain the water - resistant properties of the vinyl. Also, check the zipper and the swivel snap hook periodically for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, it's best to replace the parts or the whole bucket to keep using it safely.
