Ames True Temper 2466010 Lawn Buddy

The Lawn Buddy has helped me. Not only is the sitting position more comfortable than constantly kneeling, but when I'm done in one spot I just scoot along on the turtle and the wheels move smoothly and easily to the next. It saves me a lot of time not having to hunt my gardening hand tools or getting them out of the shed-I just keep them inside the Lawn Buddy and they are always within easy access. The cup holder is handy too-it holds a nice sized bottle of water. I get my gardening done quickly and easily and it's also a great spot once I'm out in the pathways to just sit and enjoy the day.

It's very sturdy. I weigh over 200 lb and it supports my weight easily. The wheels are well constructed and roll with no problems. I also found out that the lid will keep your tools dry - I had left the turtle out one day when I ran to answer the phone and I forgot all about it. It rained heavily all the next day and when I went out the day after, there was still water everywhere, but my tools stayed nice and dry.

If it gets muddy or dirty it is easily cleaned inside and out-just use your spray nozzle on your garden hose and it cleans up nicely. Dries quick and you're off gardening again.

I would recommend this to anyone who had knee or back problems. It is quite comfortable, durable, and easy to use. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

This is a great product for gardeners, no assembly required. It is sturdy, easy to handle and great for sitting on while gardening or even washing/waxing your car. There is a handle which you can use to push or pull it around the yard. And, when you open the lid, surprise, there is room for storing your gardening tools complete with a removable tray to hold plants, tools or whatever you need to complete your project. All that's missing is someone to do the planting......hmmmm.....maybe hubby!!!

When I am working in my garden my buddy goes everywhere with me.I love it. I can keep all my garden tools with me at all time. Rake and hose hooks right on the side. When weeding my back no longer hurts I sit on it is so easy to move while sitting on it. There is plenty of room for carring your plants inside. I store all my tools inside it when not in use. My only regret is I wish I had it years ago.

Wow - one of the coolest things I've purchased for my garden. I wish I'd bought one 20 years ago. I have a large, meandering garden with uneven areas - this wonderful invention goes everywhere with minimal effort and I can now garden twice as much due to the back/muscle relief.

The only bummer....I found the same product at Home Depot for $8 less. Oh well, I really don't care. The size, the quality, the roomy compartment under the seat, the fact that you can drag it behind you with the lid up.....all positives that add up to perfection. I love it. My back loves it. You'll love it.

I needed a lightweight, compact, wheeled "container" for doing sprinkler system repairs for my homeowner's association. This was a big job (45 properties -- over 1,000 sprinkler heads). When I happened upon this Lawn Buddy cart, I decided to give it a try since the price was reasonable. Well, there are a few points I think could stand just a bit of improvement (for example, the wheels are cheap, "one sided" things -- not really tough like Ames' original Lawn Buddy carts); however, having said that, I will still rate this cart "well worth the money" because of Amazon.Com's selling price. If you need a cart like this, I think you will find this one an excellent choice. I use mine a lot, and it does the job well for me.
