When I have to grab one of these all I feel is the looming dread of a lot of work to do.
Me too. Those things are impossible to steer with any precision.
Also the actual project…
The trick is too pull them not push
I’m actually aware of that, and do pull them, it was said in jest. Tongue in cheek sort of thing.
But thank you, all the same :)
I always gave up and picked them up with a reach truck when I worked at a competitor
People would stack 40ish 80 pound quikcrete bags and ditch it when they gave up moving them
Nah you just gotta get good at rear wheel steering. It’s actually really great, you can squeeze into way tighter spots than with front wheel steering. There’s a reason forklifts all have rear wheel steering.
Besides, the big one looks like it’s center pivot, not rear wheel.

One time I’m loading up sheets of drywall and some kid comes up asking if I needed someone to do drywall. I said no. I went home and hung that shit myself. But I sure thought long and hard about it as I was dragging that cart out of the store.
One time I went in with the intent to buy some big stuff. Ended up changing my mind but I needed gloves… So I had one of these but just a pair of gloves sitting on it lol
Like we give a shit. I’m glad when my projects are under 100
That’s ageist!
Not at my age lol
I’m loading this bad boy up with all of the cutest plants
My dad used to make get the cart for him so I’d grab these, then we’d roll up to the checkout with a 5 gal bucket and a tape measure or some shit 😁
The real power move is to grab one of those contractor buckets and use it as a shopping basket. Because how else are you going to keep all those loose nuts and bolts from going everywhere?
Look at Mr. Money Bags buying the specialty loose nuts and bolts.
They’re like $2.50/bolt these days. God dam
It’s also ridiculous the markup on fasteners. I used to work in nuts and bolts and the going rate was like 90-97% markup on fasteners.
To be fair, when you absolutely need that one or two special bolts to put your lawnmower back together, the markup isn’t a big deal.
Otherwise, I’m buying stuff by the box, and starting to prefer metric more and more.
Cheaper than the ones that come in the little baggies.
I do the revserse and try to put a dozen 2x4s and a couple small sheets of wood into a regular cart causing it to be difficult to maneuver through the aisles.
Home Despot - a place for wannabe interior decorators. Like Ron Swanson said to an employee at HD “I know more than you.”
People with manly man projects go to real lumber yards where you lean on a counter and talk to a clerk and a yardman pulls and brings you your materials with a forklift and loads them on your trailer - because strapping your load down to a trailer and driving away is a manly man thing to do…No little carts needed.
I feel this way about Lowes vs home depot. Home depot for the real projects, Lowes to buy the designer hammer that never gets used…
Or you’re about to do some Home Depot Surfing!
Either way…
If you can find one.
How else are you going to show everyone you have wood?
I legit thought this meme was about buying one of these.
That’s the best part, they don’t even charge you for them! You can just take them!
LPT … push one of these around Home Depot to look like you know what you’re doing … even if you just came into the store to use the toilet.
Also helps if you’re in one of those stores where the toilets are out in the open like it’s another regular aisle. Stack up some boxes and you can position it to give yourself some privacy. Bring along some bottles of water too since sometimes the faucets don’t work.
The last time I used one of these was buying drywall because it only comes in two sizes with no in-between, too damn big and patch kits that are good for nothing.
Okay, but at Costco these are the way
