I use this toolbox in my Senior Move Management business. We carry tape guns, labels, tools, first aid items, cleaning supplies, door stops, forms, and about a jillion other items in it. I did modify it slightly, cutting off some of the flaps because I like to be able to see where things are and not have to look under the flaps. We had one similar to this one once that was made for men's tools but the handle was just a tiny bit too short and it actually wasn't as sturdy as this one. This is my favorite toolbox.

I purchased this cart in November and used it through the school year. I needed something to ease back strain and thought it would help. My ONLY problem with this cart is the structural failure of the clips that keep the bottom of the cart attached to the sides, three of which have broken off. It seems like a lot of money to have this happen.

Pros: This cart does save on back strain if you carry a few heavy bags back and forth to school. It is quite roomy, perhaps a little too roomy. The saddle bag has more than enough compartments for odds and ends. I could even put my coffee mug in one of the pockets. The cover protects everything on rainy days. The handle is quite substantial, I even used it to hang my coat upon.

Cons: IF you tote heavy items, like books, and after a long day of teaching you have to lift the cart into a car be very careful setting it down. That is what will break the bottom clips. You can still use the cart, but the sides will bulge and dirt or grit can get in from the bottom. Also, take care that the cart does not stop suddenly because of an obstacle (gravel, uneven pavement) in your path. The cart can tip over and everything will tumble out of the cart.

This cart organize is great. It has so many division and pockets that you definitely are able to have all you material organized. The cover keeps your material protect from the weather, which is excellent. There are many types the cart on the market, but nothing like this one.
As teacher I use my cart all the time. The size is perfect fits inside my car very well. This was a kind of thing that when I saw for the first time my thought was that exactly what I needed to carry all my material and keep organized. To me this cart is the best invention ever. I thank the creator of it everyday.

I call this R2D2 because it goes with me everywhere. It has been a really solid purchase. I had a slightly smaller one from a social studies adoption package at our school. This is roomier, has a better "apron" with more useful pockets and a canvas cover to protect my stuff from the weather. I have had it about a month. The size is great, but the handle is a little loose and a plastic part (too small to affect structure or strength) has broken off as I was getting it up the stairs to a portable building. My load tends to be fairly heavy, but I have to keep it under about 50 pounds or the handle and crate structure begin to feel flimsy and not as solid. This also fits perfectly in the hatch of my car. I have used it in a Subaru Forester and and Pontiac Vibe. It fits 2 perfectly. This is important as I often go to 4 schools a day and need to have my materials handy and organized.

My wife teaches ESL (English as a Second Language) and constantly goes from one building or temporary school trailer to another, pulling all sorts of books and maps and pens and other stuff in the MemoryStor.

Unfortunately, it's poorly constructed. The handle twists too easily (it's not sturdy), the zippers are poorly made (the teeth have disengaged on the front flap, hanging down like a loose tongue), and worst of all, the wheels have fallen off FOUR times.

The wheels are secured by a small piece of metal that clips on the end of the axle. The metal has a tendency to fall off under use, so even with TWO of these on hand, I've cannibalized parts to keep one cart working. And, even then, I've had to go to the hardware store to get replacement parts.

Ideally, the axle would have a spacer and a hole in both ends through which you could put a sturdy cotter pin, but given that the wheels fall off under use and it's difficult to constantly replace parts, I'd say you're better off looking for another product.

As I said, a great idea but a very poor execution. Teachers certainly deserve better--this product is heavily promoted to schools -- and the rest of us do, too.

I am a new teacher and was looking for something that would help tote around all of the materials I use on a daily basis. I love all the pockets- there are so many, I can't even fill them all up! It helps me keep super organized, which is exactly what I was looking for. The wheels are really smooth and quiet- much more so than some of the other teachers' carts. The handle is not as sturdy as I would like, but that is about the only downside I have encountered so far. Even if the cart itself breaks, the organizational part of the product just slips over the cart! It has been extremely useful and I am very satisfied with the purchase!

The cart is very handy and holds all my items I need to tote. The handle seems a little flimsy, but has held up to this day. I would recommennd this item.

It's been almost a year since I got this product. I work as a storyteller for a public library; so my crate gets loaded with books, puppets,CD player, and lots of craft supplies. I go out to several locations per week and it still looks great. It has been faithful to me through winter and summer! It even works as a little table when I close the cover. Plus it looks great!!!!! It is pricier than the others but well worth it.

I love this space saving cart that lets me take things easily from my classroom to my house and anywhere else.

This rolling crate is exactly what I need to have a "mobile" voice studio. My greatest concern is durability, having gone through three similar store-bought crates last school year. So far, this one's holding up fine!
