The angled shape makes it easier to scoop coal into the bucket and to pour it out with less mess.

Troubleshooting
Bucket has developed rust spots.
For minor rust spots, clean the affected area thoroughly, dry it, and apply a rust-inhibiting paint suitable for metal. For significant rust, consider replacing the bucket.
Handles feel loose.
Inspect the rivets or welds securing the handles. If they appear damaged or loose, it may not be safe to continue using the bucket. Contact the manufacturer or retailer for advice.
Coal dust escapes from the bucket.
Ensure the bucket is not overfilled. The angled design is intended to minimize spillage during transfer, but overfilling can lead to dust escaping.
