Steele Canvas Basket Keeps America on Top with Its #U-600 Metermans Tool Bag Recommended by Whom You Know



Among the stand out products Steele has been making since before most of us were born is the #U-600 metermans tool bag-fantastic for those that are self-reliant when a mess happens. It's n
ot for everyone, but if you have tools, you should be using this reliable, sturdy, amazing carry-it-all. 
Steele’s #U-600 metermans tool bag is not the prettiest bag and it’s not for everyone but we love its practicality. Not everyone needs a bag with a steel frame opening, #4 duck canvas body, leather strap, brass buckle and a masonite bottom riveted to a couple of kiln dried northern hardwood runners. Sure, the the multiple inside pockets might be great for carrying items other than tools, but why would you want to do that? The U-600 doesn't try to be anything other than what it is - a tool bag, plain and simple. If you live somewhere where you use things, inevitably something will arise when a tool is needed. You could call the handyman, but you get a lot more satisfaction when you fix it yourself.


Steele Canvas Basket Corp. has been manufacturing tough as nails industrial canvas products since 1921. Over the past 93 years, entire industries have come and gone, though the products and services offered by this American manufacturing icon have remained relatively unchanged. 

“Staunch. Dependable. Durable.”

That’s how Steele Canvas Basket advertised itself and it’s products back in the 1920’s, and the same holds true today. In this global economy, it’s good to know there’s still an American manufacturer out there that has our back, and our laundry and our tools and whatever else we need it to carry. If it’s built by Steele, it’s built to last.
