On October 9, Koei Sangyo Co., Ltd. introduced the tote-style tool bag from "anevas." Born from the need to carry work tools together, it is designed for DIY, camping, and everyday belongings as well.
It stands up even when empty, with a wide-opening mouth
Its key feature is that the bag stands on its own when placed on the floor or a workbench. It keeps its mouth open so you can see and take out the contents. The company says the thickness of the fabric lets it stand even when empty.
The capacity is about 33 L. The opening is 55 cm wide, the height is 36 cm, the bottom width is 40 cm, and the bottom depth is 19 cm. The handles are about 58 cm long, and the company suggests using it like a "box," carrying tools in it and then storing it as is on a shelf or the like.
Paraffin-treated canvas in three colors
The material is No. 8 equivalent paraffin-treated canvas. It is a fabric that develops creases and wear marks known as chalk marks with use. The company also cites the water repellency of the paraffin treatment as a feature.
It comes in three colors: black, navy, and army green. The design has no large logo, so it can be used for belongings other than tools. It weighs about 1,280 g.
