🧱 The Only Collapsible Bucket Built for Tradies

Let’s be honest: Most collapsible buckets out there are made for campers washing dishes or gardeners watering plants. They're flimsy, small, and won’t last a week on a proper job site.

But 3D Pro’s Collapsible Buckets? Totally different story. These things are designed specifically for Aussie tradies who don’t mess around. Whether you're on the tools full-time or packing up for a big site install, our 20L and 40L watertight folding buckets are built for serious work — not some DIY hack job.

🛠️ Built for Real Jobs, Not Just Show

When you’re hauling gear in and out of the ute, the last thing you want is some cheap fold-up thing that collapses when it’s full. Ours don’t just look tough—they handle rough use, heavy tools, liquids, mud, even concrete mix. Seriously.

  • 💦 Fully watertight: Clean your gear, mix compounds, hold ice—no leaks.

  • 🧰 Tool-friendly: Toss in drills, fasteners, saws—whatever you're running with.

  • 🪣 Collapsible in seconds: Fold it down flat when you’re done. Saves space, less clutter.

  • 💪 Grab and go: Lightweight when empty, but rock solid when full.

  • Stackable design: Carry a few without chewing up your whole tray.


 

⚙️ How Tradies Are Using Them

Electricians are loading them up with junction boxes, tape rolls and meters.
Plumbers? Using 'em as water buckets + to carry fittings and tapware.
Chippies love 'em for offcuts, screws, and quick-mix patch jobs.
Installers & service techs? Perfect for cleaning gear, storing wipes, or even carrying lunch and drinks on remote sites.



🧼 Easy to Clean, Hard to Break

These buckets rinse clean with a hose, dry fast, and won’t crack, tear, or collapse under weight. Just give it a rinse, fold it flat, and stash it till the next job.
