As a Maintenance Plumber, I've always searched for the perfect water container to catch water under vanities / cisterns etc. Since purchasing the 20L folding bucket, my efficiency has increased being able to carry in the tools and parts for the to job in the folding bucket, catch any water and use it as a bin etc. Thanks for the awesome product!
-
I'm loving this new purchase. The bucket folds away and stores neatly. It looks more professional than a regular plastic bucket when I walk in with my other tools and gear, and since it's collapsible I can catch water when working under sinks and toilets. Definitely a must for any serious maintenance plumber for sure.
-
Absolutely love the product, use it almost daily! Handy to have on site, makes clean up quick and easy, and makes carrying stock, equipment and tools a non issue! Thank you 3D PRO!
-
These buckets are great! We are Marine Plumbing company and we use them from catching water / waste in difficult to access locations, trash bins, hauling bags of liquids we don't want to risk tearing, and a fair bit more. All my crew keeps an extra in the bottom of the tool box for hauling extra parts, trash, etc. Ordering more soon.
-
A great addition to my job. The pockets are brilliant for my phone and van keys. Well made, strong and helps with all the additional tools that a Sparky needs to carry round
-
I use this bucket more then I thought I would. As a plumber, it's great for carrying tools etc, but due to its ability to be moulded, it's perfect for catching water in tight spots under sinks, basins and toilets.
-
I'm a DIYer and needed something that was capable of catching most of the water for some plumbing repairs. Worked perfectly for tight places and able to form against the cabinet and walls allowing me to catch 100% of the water.
-
Being a plumber I always carry a bucket in my toolbox which has always taken up so much space. Love the idea of the foldable bucket, works a treat!
-
Great buckets. Highly recommend. Great for cleaning up as you go or just carrying your tools around the house. Easy to store in the ute also.
-
Unreal way to grab tools quickly on the go for those in-and-out jobs. I'm a big fan that you can use it for multiple uses and it tucks away in the van. 10/10.
One day on the tools
One Bucket Handles the Job. Three+ Buckets Run the Job Site.
Here's what a typical day looks like when your van or ute is actually set up for the work.
-
The Plumber
Under the vanity, in the van and by your side
You've got 3 buckets running at once, and all have their place. One's working hard catching a leak under the basin, the other on the floor next to you for site waste and the 3rd is making carrying fittings to and from the van easy work. When the job's done, all 3 fold completely flat, no wasted space here.
-
The Electrician
On the Switchboard, flush against the wall and in the roof
The 3L magnetic bucket sticks straight to the switchboard, so your gear is always in arm's reach. Your 30L Square is flush against the wall where you're cutting out, making sure to catch all the offcuts and dust. Your 20L is the workhorse up and down the ladder, in the roof space with your tools & materials in tow. 3 sizes, 3 jobs, zero wasted space in the van at the end of the day
-
The HVAC Tech
On the roof, on the scissor lift, and back in the Canopy by knock-off
No rigid bucket or bulky bag is making it's way up the ladder with you. the 20L workhorse easily carries your tools & materials onto the roof, into right cavities. best part? holds flat at the end of the day.
-
The Builder/Chippy
Fixings in One. Cut-Offs in another. Rubbish in the third
On a job, organisation is the different between finished on time or losing hours searching, cleaning and backtracking. Colour-code your 3 buckets, one for fixing & small parts, one for rubbish, one of materials. Everyone knows the system on site. The job wraps, all 3 fold flat and slide down the side of your shelving for the drive home.
Notice how every scenario uses more than one bucket?
That's just how the job works. One for leaks. One for waste. One for lugging gear. And more for other jobs. That's why most tradies who start with one come back for more within 30 days. We figured we'd save you the second order.
The Founder
Designed by an Aussie Sparky
Luke's a license Sparky from Melbourne, Australia. He designed the 3DPRO folding buckets because the same problem kept showing up on every job, there was no product to help carry your materials & tools, collect rubbish in, hold water, but not take up the whole van at the end of the day. He designed what he needed for his Electrical business. Then his mates wanted one too. Then, their mates and now 50,000 folding buckets later we're here.
Every 3DPRO folding bucket is still tested on real job site. Not in an office or factory. Not by a product team with no construction experience. By real Tradies, on the tools day in day out, in the conditions the buckets were built for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it actually watertight? Or "splash resistant" watertight?
Actually watertight. 100%. Double-welded seams, sealed base. We've tested it holding water for 48+ hours without a drop.
How much weight can it hold?
Except for the 3L that can hold up to 5kg, the rest of the bucket sizes are related to the litres:
15L - 15kg
20L - 20kg
30L - 30kg
40L - 40kg
The reinforced handles and double-welded construction distribute load across the whole structure. It won't flex, sag or blow out under load.
Won't a folding bucket be less durable than a rigid one?
Opposite. Rigid plastic concentrates stress at crack points, that's why every tradie has thrown away cracked buckets. The folding design flexes instead of cracking. Drop it off the ute, jam it into a tight space, stomp it flat — it bounces back.
Can I use it as a tool bucket?
That's what most tradies use it for - tools, materials, you name it. It's up to you.
Carry your gear between the van and the job, keep small parts together, then fold it flat so it's not eating ute space. The magnetic 3L doubles as a parts tray on any steel surface.
What’s the magnetic bucket for?
The 3L Magnetic Bucket sticks to any steel or iron surface, whether that's Switchboards, distribution boards, scissor lift railing or steel framing. Have all your small gear in arm's reach, such as clips, screws, cable ties. No bench needed
I just need one. Do I have to buy a bundle?
Not at all. Buy one at full price and see how it goes. Just know most tradies who start with one come back within 30 days — once you've got one in the van you start seeing all the other places you need one. The 3-pack just saves you the second order.
What sizes should I get?
Most tradies start with the 20L all-rounder. For leaks in tight spaces the 15L Square sits flush into corners; the 40L is for volume. The 3L Magnetic bucket is perfect for having small items right in arm's reach. For a 3-pack we'd suggest one 20L, one 15L Square and one 40L.

Most "tough" buckets are just thick plastic that still cracks. The 3DPRO heavy duty folding bucket is built to actually survive the job site — then fold flat when you're done. Here's what makes it heavy duty:
- 💪 Double-welded seams — no split corners, no blow-outs under load
- 🪣 Sealed watertight base — holds water 48+ hours without a drop
- ⚖️ Holds its full size in kilos — 20L carries 20kg with no sag
- 🔩 Reinforced handles — lift it loaded without the grip tearing out
- 🚙 Folds flat — heavy duty where it counts, then packs into the ute
- ♻️ Flexes instead of cracking — outlives every rigid bucket you've binned
One heavy duty folding bucket to rule them all! (or three, if you cop a bundle)
Rigid plastic buckets fail the same way every time: stress builds at a fixed corner, a hairline crack forms, and one cold morning it splits. That's why every tradie's got a graveyard of dead buckets.
A heavy duty folding bucket solves it by design. Instead of resisting the impact and shattering, the walls flex and absorb it. Double-welded seams and a sealed base take the abuse — drop it off the tailgate, wedge it into a tight cavity, stomp it flat at the end of the day, and it springs straight back into shape. No cracks, no leaks, no replacement every few months.
This isn't a flimsy collapsible bucket that starts to show wear, after a few loads. Each size is rated to carry its volume in kilos, thanks to reinforced handles and double-welded construction that spread the load across the whole structure — so it won't flex, sag or blow out when it's full.
- 3L Magnetic — up to 5kg
- 15L — 15kg
- 20L — 20kg
- 30L — 30kg
- 40L — 40kg
Load it with water, tools, offcuts, render or rubbish — the heavy duty build holds its shape under weight that would bow out a cheap bucket.
Heavy duty is only half of it — it's also properly watertight, not "splash-resistant." Double-welded seams and a fully sealed base mean it holds water without a single drop — we've left it filled for 48 hours straight to prove it.
That's what lets one bucket cover the lot: haul water across a site, catch a leak under a sink, soak tools or gear, or bail out where you need to. Then fold it flat and stash it. A heavy duty folding bucket that's watertight, packs away, and doesn't crack is the one that ends up living in the van permanently.

A heavy duty bucket that folds flat
The 3DPRO heavy duty folding bucket is built for the job site — double-welded, watertight, and rated to hold its full size in kilos. Then it folds flat when you're done, so it's not taking up half the ute. One tough bucket that replaces the cracked rigid ones piling up in the yard.
