A co-worker directed me to the thread linking the rod bucket on e-bay, but I wanted something that works for hauling tools and rod, yet makes it easy to dump out the rod stubs!  I wanted something that I could pull up a rope to haul my tools to where they need to be, and also something I could use for rods that would make for easy stub disposal!  A trip to princess auto later (mainly due to the need for a shade 12 welding lense) and this was the result.  Two "U" bolts and a shiny bucket, lol.

For hauling tools and dumping stubs, the "U" bolts slide out of the way, as opposed to the double nut route!

Before I was using a bucket with a slit cut from the side for holding the rods, but this works so much better.  I was surprised.

Just my random thought for the week.  :)
