Mike
has a small problem. Actually it is not small at
all and it is not a single problem but a matching
pair. He needs to move his old washing machine and
his old dryer. He just bought a new set because
his old set was outdated and not very efficient.
He has got to move them before the delivery driver
shows up. Sure he can man handle them and drag them
or slide them across the floor but that might scratch
his new tile and his wife would not be very happy
if her imported Italian tiles were damaged. Maybe
the delivery driver can help him move these two
old appliances.
He has no idea that there
is a special tool created just for his unique
situation. The appliance hand truck. My dad always
said "You need the right tool for the job."
I guess he was right because these mighty tools
are built just for this purpose. They can help
you move that old washer and dryer with ease.
Actually they work with just about any appliance
like stoves, dishwashers and even vending machines.
What makes them different
than a regular hand cart? They are built upon
the same principals but that is where the similarities
stop. Appliance hand trucks are much wider. This
helps to accommodate that large mass. They also
have built in straps. These straps wrap around
the appliance and then back trough the hand truck.
There is then an offset handle that allows you
to tighten the strap and secure your load. These
wonderful tools really get the job done and my
father always told me to work smart not hard.
