    It's a small saw used to cut things, powered by human muscles.

    You have them return them? Curious. If so, pretty awesome. Hmmm.

    We've been moving towards the totes. We have several customers that love it when we just load the tote and they bring it back on their next run. I believe we have somewhere around 100 at this time. Took awhile to get Lefty and now Edwin on board with the idea.

    I have around 50 totes. I really like them. You have to watch what was initially in the tote cause there’s alway a little bit left inside. I’ve seen everything from racing fuel to roundup in them.

    True, my point is you have to do something with chemical left inside. Black die wouldn’t bother me much but some stuff would.

    At $128/gallon for Roundup, I'll take a few of those totes. My tote supplier gets every ounce of Def out of his.

    Have a dozen totes loaded up with short cutoffs so far and have used 4 bladders on pallets for wood boiler wood. They will stay under cover until it’s time to burn the contents. No more handling this wood multiple times.

    I still haven't gotten rid of my bladders. I'm thinking of cutting them in half, diagonally and turning them into bases for a paintball play area in my pine bush.
