They're laying around in nearly every big store parking lot. I load one in my truck every time I go. A couple minutes with a hacksaw and a few scraps of plywood and you've got a dandy rolling tool cart. AND the metal grill stuff that you cut off them is good for cookin' burgers on!

Yes they are plastic but they are pretty slick! Cup holders and all kinds of goodies. My son lives near a Target and a cart showed up in his yard. I volunteered to bring it back to the store and when I saw how fancy it was I wanted to take it home and give it to my wife for a garden cart. all it needed was a UPS and USB port! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I kid you not, he actually takes food out of dumpsters. It's not like he has no money either, he has GOBS of money! He just spent about 30K on restoring a 68 Firebird, he/s got a fully restored '69 RS Camaro that he did a few years ago, and just bought a brandy new pickemup for about 70 Gs and paid CASH. Why he eats out of dumpsters is beyond me. He has some sort of mental disorder for sure. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,815 #18 Posted June 10, 2021 Yah I know what ya mean.... I got this buddy named Dan and we can't keep him out the dumpster either.

Handy Don 12,231 #24 Posted June 17, 2021 Yeah, lumber is pretty quiet. Those darn compressors, though, they can't keep a secret for anything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
