That is one interesting link, Reno!!
Appears to be the 'Bentley' of tools and boxes.

$460 for the one drill I looked at is not real bad as it sounds like real great quality!

We built a new car dealership with a Walmart right next door. About 125 people of varous trades were on the job at once.

The shopping carts from Walmart were very popular. Every trade had a few because they were so useful.

This all came to a screeching halt when someone from Walmart complained to the GC, but it was 2 months of total bliss before that grin .

What you left out, Scott, is that this is the cart you used:

Full size carts have been around for some time. I decided against such a cart because:
1) Stuff gets buried in the bottom of the big basket;
2) Every cart I've seen used on the job as been seriously damaged / bent over by major overloading; and,
3) A full-size cart won't fit in my little car.

That is one big, long, Walmart receipt.
Unless it was a lot of HABA, how big is/was the basket on the scooter???

Maybe those carts have trailer hitches -for towing other carts.

Based on the shopper I kinda doubt it was HABA.
If it was...she should consider switching brands.

Ok, I have to ask what is HABA? Does not ring a bell as a brand up here in Canada.

Ghost:

That's funny.....

MBHydro:

'HABA' is an acronym for 'health and beauty aids'. It's a common abbreviation used by retailers, and picked up by tradesmen over the years.
