Why is this considered a weapon instead of a tool?

Edit: I should clarify... When repairing a bucket, it uses the skill for making weapons. Seems odd.

Actually the iron bucket uses the "manufacturing machines" skill, which kinda makes sense since it's a portable machine. We can change it to tools though.

That's odd, too. It makes sense that it would fall under machines except that is not the skill used to repair them either. I only noticed this because I have a new char I wanted to check skill levels on. After repairing a bucket, neither tools nor machinery skills show up (weapons was already visible and the only other two that level are cooking and carpentry).

It was a wooden bucket, though that shouldn't make a difference unless they were accidentally set up different.

Ah, wooden buckets use carpentry. We usually use that for anything connected with wood.

Really? Can't believe I never noticed that before. I always thought once something was manufactured into a tool/weapon that was the skill that dictated its repair. Granted, buckets are used as machines too, but they fall under the tool category in a lot of places.

Sorry to be a bother!

Not at all. Skills can be assigned freely, so it's not possible to determine which one they use without checking the wiki. Logic alone is often not sufficient.
