Hi, I own the Hook & Go, and the store in the Ferry Building from which they are sold...very flattered by the attention. Some notes: the Hook & Go capably (and stylishly) handles up to 70 lbs of fruits and melons. Diane from Torrance got hers for $22 (not $20) thanks to the Torrance Farmer's Market, who sells them at their cost as a service to Farmers (folks buy more when using them). Ditto BTW the Beverley Hills Market. Also, we are the "Editor's Choice" in the May "House & Garden". Hammacher sells them for $39.95 on their web site, but not for long; when their allottment is up it'll be $49.95 or more, as new models (colors, built-in recylable bags) are coming soon. For Canadien orders see the link at www.hookandgo.com. Until recently the Hook & Go was available only at the spots listed above, hence the spotty sightings but we're looking for distributors now; visit www.hookandgo.co for info. Thanks!

Dudes!

You can't poke anyone with it. Its designed to be pulled behind you, not pushed. if you push it around with any kind of weight on it you risk bending the wheel supports (in the picture the rod that is vertical from the middle of the handlebar to foot bar to the wheel bar) if you encounter any kind of bump / rut in the ground. I know this from experience, The support was easy to bend back in shape. I think its a 3/16 steel rod one for each wheel.

I have been using it to carry my groceries for close to 6 years in NJ from where I have to park my car to my Apartment pretty much 1/4 mile. I rarley have to make more than one trip and along the way I can stop get my mail or do whatever and the hook & go holds my bags perfectly. I roll it right into the kitchen and unpack right there. Then it folds up very small, I set next to the door to put in the trunk the next time I go to my car. Compared to the space a granny cart takes up this is nearly nonexistant. Not to say I don't use a granny cart for laundry, the Hook & Go is just sooo much better for groceries.

By the way, I most always hang many more than eight bags off of it, closer to 15 is normal. Never weighed the combined weight, but I'll bet it's past the 70 lbs limit.

Hook and Go cart is the best modern day idea yet;especially if
you have to carry your groceries in plastic bags any distance from the car to the house. I have one and have given two more as gifts, we all use ours and save our backs,arms and legs. I
put at least two bags on ever hook,and some on each handle and carry groceries for a family of five from the driveway up three steps into my pier and beam house which sits off the ground. It's great!!!!

I have an online shop that sells things for people who live in small homes. We just got the "Carry Cruisers" by the cool German company Reisenthel. They're really nice looking and come in different colors and designs. I've really searched for a while for some nice looking carts. http://www.citymouseshop.com/carts--grocery-trolleys.html
