In this month's flyer it's $9.99. The one from Harbor Freight is almost always on sale. In this month’s flyer it’s $9.99.

I've moved freezers on mine with no problem. I also made one into a tool cart. I used plumbing pipe for the upright and the dolly for the base. I got the idea from a pic I saw somewhere on the net.

But, better than nothing. I wouldn't mind seeing more Canadian C.A.T. postings, especially from varied vendors (e.g. Canadian Tire, Sears, P.A., Home Depot (probably has different sales than US), etc.) PrincessAuto is the closest thing to HF in Canada, but the price differential varies from an pretty even match (given some minor variation for dollar) to outrageous (a $479 mini mill costs $999).

It was more than worth it even though I've only used it once so far. I got a 1,500 pound one for $18 at Fleet Farm a couple weeks ago.

Anyways, I think that $25 is a fair price and a bit cheaper than it would cost to DIY from new materials. A lot of people have scrap lumber, so for them it's just the cost of casters which can sometimes be salvaged as well. http://www.princessauto.com/_osn.cfm?CTRY=USA&SRCH=1&SRCHAREA=OSN&T1=1,00020LB20PLATFORM20DOLLY

Why bother? Because I can’t figure out how to buy it. :) There isn’t a “buy” button or “add to cart” on that page.
