I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done this…back and forth, back and forth! I usually pile all the tools I need in the wheelbarrow, but it’s not the shape for longer tools like a rake. Then when the barrow is full of weeds I have to pile the tools on top and hope I don’t throw anything away into the compost pile. I also have a handy small garden tool tote, which I use sometimes.
This cart looks handy. Thanks for the review.

I have the same issue in a different sphere. I am a cabinetmaker, which means I work in one place, a woodshop. When I’m called upon to do a carpentry project around the house I’m completely unprepared. The shop, and my tools, are across the road, and tools are heavy. I’m constantly having to decide is it worth driving over to the shop, loading a few boxes of tools into the car and driving back before beginning work. If I don’t I know I’m doomed to multiple trips across the road, and most of the time even if I do I still make a few trips across the road. Storing and transporting tools is an obsession with carpenters. Each day starts and ends with loading and unloading.
P.S. I know nothing about this cart, but I really respect the tools that Lee Valley produces. They seem to come up with all the best features and still be affordable.

I have this cart and purchased it 3 years ago from Lee Valley. Bought it for the same reasons you did–I have to walk long distances to garden here and am always forgetting a tool. I also tote my tools to a garden I volunteer at and can get this into the back of my car, although, tools need to be rearranged when I get to my destination. My biggest complaint has been getting hit in the head with the rake & broom, etc…other than that, I too have kept the bulk of my tools in it all season and moved it around the garden with me. It is handy in that way. I like Lee Valley, they have a good source of tools.

Carol and Jenn-- Did you see Lee Valley has an email newsletter now? I just got my first issue today. You can find it here. Carol, you could use one of those tool carts just for your hoe collection. As a matter of fact, you should send Lee Valley a link to your hoe collection page.

I have been keeping a small pile of oddments that I intend to someday make into a cart of this sort. I’ve a few problems to solve before I can put it together…Which means it may never get done. Sigh.

I love Lee Valley Tool Supply and always stop what I am doing when their catalog arrives. This looks quite handy, though it might be more than I need for my suburban lot… still, I do tend to make a lot of trips back and forth from the garage where the tools are stored to the back yard when I am working in the yard…
