The million dollar question: How many pull ups can you do?

64 oz would be way too heavy for the average person. That's half a gallon. You might as well look into getting a pull-away sprayer similar to what you find with the P21S gel sprayer or the sprayers that come with gallon-size bug spray.

If anyone are interested in the shelves shown in this thread, Sam's Club sells very similar ones for $76.73. I was just there a little earlier this evening.

I never thought of the bug/weed type sprayers, excellent idea, A couple of my chemicals I find my self filling numerous times a day and would love just to do it once when I shut down. Along with the shelf comment, the ones that he purchased are probably Metro Brand, which are the number one choice in professional kitchens-now note I have been a chef since 98 and have alot of experience with these shelves, I have set up alot of kitchens and to save money on one, I purchased shelves from Lowes that are very similar for about $80 and found out that although not quite as weight forgiving worked just fine, definately worth the $300 per shelving unit savings.

I have some very similar ones from Costco. Mine also have these neat little 'walls' that go across the back of each shelf so you can't push things off the back. I think they were $89 or something.
With that amount of shipping, the price, and the plethora of Griot's products, I'm guessing the OP's shelves / kart came from Griot's. I may go over to their detailing clinic / sale at the warehouse next weekend-I can't afford their shipping (plus getting screwed with sales tax) and they're only 40 minutes from me.

Re: New shelves

Looks good. However, I would have gone with a Gladiator setup or something like that for $600.

Eat of Indy about 35 miles. Griot's warehouse is in Plainfield. They're in a Motorsports 'Industrial Park' along with John Force Racing, IMPACT, March, Beast chassis and a bunch of other businesses. Very cool area if you're into racing. From Louisville, you're about 90 minutes away (my wife works in Louisville 2 days a week).

You're right, Costco sells very similar ones too for $76.99 at my local Costco. It looks like the difference between the Costco vs. Sam's Club shelves is that Costco has the "walls" that goes on the back of each shelf, whereas Sam's Club has a plastic liner that sits on the actual shelf to prevent things from falling through.

running air tools. In addition to detailing cars, I also do a lot of work on em. So I run impact wrenches, tire inflators, etc..

Also the air gun attachment is really handy for blowing dust out of car vents and crevices when detailing.. you'd be suprised what 120psi can do

Oh I have no doubt, I was just curious what people used those for.
