I needed a better way to bring with me the essentials. Enter, the Stanley Fat Max 4-1. Not sure if you have seen this or if anyone uses one, but it holds a TON of stuff. With the exception of my towels, polisher, pads, buckets and PW, this thing holds everything else I need.

It can be found online at Amazon.com and other places, but I found it on sale at Home Depot for $69.99, plus I had a $25 gift certificate from credit card points earned probably buying all the stuff from AG. So my net cost was only $44.99. I had a different Stanley cart like this, that was much smaller and did not expand outward.

Sorry for the crappy cel phone pics, but you get the idea.

I was looking at the same model at HD and I could'nt figure out how to open it up. Did you have to cut or break something to open it the first time or is it just tricky to get open?

I think that would work for me also but I don't want something I have to fight with to open. It does look Ideal though.

It is SO easy to open and close. There are two locking mechanisms on either side that just twist to unlock and then a release handle in the middle you lift up, you put your foot on the front foot plate and it slides right open. I promise it sounds WAY more complicated then it is. It took me a minute to figure it out, but you would not be disappointed! :xyxthumbs:

Thanks for the speedy reply, I think I will be buying one or two of those.
 
No problem. HD has a pretty good return policy as well, so if you get it and do not like it, bring it back.
 
Looks like a polisher, like the Flex 3401, would fit in there though, right? I want one, now I just need to work on needing it.

Absolutely it would. I have so much small bottle of stuff, I just use the top part for it, but I easily placed my 3401 inside there with room to spare before I filled it with the other stuff. :xyxthumbs:
