We all know that handling baskets is difficult, especially when placing on and off the basket shaft. Many users touch the mesh and this leads to contamination and deformity, thus rendering the basket outside specifications.

The new BasketTool allows users to pick up and firmly grip a basket without touching the mesh. This makes it a lot easier to place the basket on and off the shafts. Physically touching baskets becomes unnecessary except for cleaning.

When used together with a basket storage rack (BSKHLD-12 or BSKHLD-6) this makes a great combination sale. Every customer we have shown these to so far has wanted one!
