    Hold down equipment and balance loads with these bags. Made with Cordura nylon, they’re dustproof, waterproof, and puncture resistant. The seams are double-stitched to form a tight seal.
    Sand Fill—Bags filled with sand are an economical choice, but their weight will change slightly over time as the sand dries out.
    Stainless Steel Shot Fill—Bags filled with stainless steel shot have tight weight tolerances, so they can also be used as test weights.
    Orange—Orange bags are easy to spot, even when visibility is poor.

    Hanging Weight Bags

    Use the adjustable strap to suspend these bags from rigging, booms, and other equipment that you need to balance. You can attach them anywhere: unhook the strap from the bag, wrap it around your equipment, then clip it back onto the bag. Their bottom is flat, so you can also set these bags upright to weigh down equipment. Made from Cordura nylon, the cover is dustproof, waterproof, and puncture resistant—you can use these bags indoors or outdoors. Double-stitched seams form a tight seal to keep the sand from leaking out.

    No more filling and carrying heavy sandbags—just add water to these flat, lightweight barriers, and they expand to block flooding. They reach full size in about 10 minutes and hold their shape for 2-3 months. Use in front of areas you want to divert water from, such as entrances and ramps. The fabric covering is UV-, tear-, and puncture-resistant, so they hold up well outdoors and on rough surfaces, such as pavement. They are nonhazardous and can be disposed of in the trash. Do not use with salt water.
    Bags—Bags must be fully expanded before stacking.
    Socks—Socks are long and narrow for forming a barrier around corners and across long distances. Their wedge shape keeps them from rolling. Stack them either wet or dry in a pyramid for stability.

    Tabletop Forming Bag

    Hammer sheet metal into rough shapes using these forming bags as a stabilizing base. Made of leather for durability, they are often used to initially form sheet metal before it is finished on a solid surface such as a forming block, dolly, or anvil.
    Handheld Forming Bag—Handheld bags are filled with lead shot and fit in your palm to form small pieces. A strap keeps them secure.
    Tabletop Forming Bag—Tabletop bags are unfilled. Fill them with sand or No. 9 lead shot (sold separately), which conforms to shapes better. The filling needs space to shift as these bags are used for forming, so leave some room in the bag.

    Unroll these bags to distribute their weight over a large surface or roll them up to concentrate it in one spot. You can also use them partially rolled to prop up items for cleaning and repair. Buckle them up and grab the handle to carry them from job to job. The cover is made from Cordura nylon, which is dustproof, waterproof, and puncture resistant. All seams are double stitched to keep the sand from leaking out.
