Griot`s Garage Rolling Cart - QUICK review

[JustJesus]

As the name implies, this will be a QUICK review of the Griot`s Garage Rolling Cart (with outlets).


I usually use a small aluminum portable platform when I detail a car. It`s small, it folds, and I can take it with me on mobile jobs. The main thing I have against it, it`s kind of small. I`ve made it work, but yeah.


Somewhat recently, I was on the set of Competition Ready doing some work with the others, under the watchful eye of Mike Phillips. I noticed he had the Griot`s cart, so I walked over to check it out. Mind you, I had seen this one online on the store, as wells as others (like Megs) and even other brands at other locations (not AG). I always thought they were kind of big and kind of pricey...at least for me.


Anyway. So I go on over to Mike, and start asking him about the cart, while I`m looking it over. I was surprised that it was smaller than I expected. He went over some of the features of the cart, including the outlets that we later used with the polishers, and it really had me considering getting a cart.


Sure enough, I bought one within like two weeks!


The cart is pretty solid. The legs are hollow plastic (oops, I have the dimensions written, but forgot them at home). That doesn`t stop this thing from being sturdy. Two of the casters have locks. This has come in handy a couple of times already. Three shelves also comes in handy. Before this cart, I was looking at some [brand] that had two shelves. Almost bought that one. But the three shelves, I feel, can be used more effectively overall.


I haven`t tried the outlets, though. The cord it comes with is a pretty good length, and if I had the HD version of some of my polishers, you bet I`d be using those outlets!!


Cost: This is one of the more expensive carts (detailing) that I`ve seen. Honestly, I wouldn`t have bought it if it weren`t for me taking advantage of sales and everything I could to bring the cost down. My wife taught me how to maximize my dollar when shopping.


I`m VERY happy with the cart. I`ve used it for detailing. I`ve used it.....here, let me show you!!!!

I`ve used it at the office to do some filing.





I`ve used it (along with a couple of my co-workers) to move from one office suite to another (within the building). (And YES, that`s a bottle of Sonax sitting on the top shelf)





I`ve done that type of move twice now, actually. Here`s one of me moving my PBMG boxes that I keep at work!!







When the neighbor asked me to detail his car, I grabbed some supplies, onto the cart, and went to work







Here`s one of my favorites... I was going to use it to load it with the food/groceries in my fridge, so I can clean out my fridge. And I did use it for that. It makes cleaning faster. But, I ended up using it for COOKING. haha... yes. I was able to use it (love the height of this cart) to put some food stuff and have it closer to me at the stove.







Overall impressions: GREAT cart. Love the size. Love the outlets. Love the utility. About the only thing I don`t care for is it`s retail price. But from the looks of things, the price is fair and competitive (?)


Thanks for reading!

Great review JustJesus!

I like how you use your cart not just for detailing but for your office and kitchen as well. I tried selling that idea to my wife (about bringing in the cart for the kitchen) but it was no bueno LOL!!!

I love Griots products, too....but...this cart is way overpriced. Yes, it has outlets embedded in the handles, but when it comes down to it, it`s just a 3-tier plastic cart like the ones made by Luxor....and theirs are less than half the price. I have one.....I attached a power strip to it, and spent considerably less than the 199 Griots sells this one for. It also has 4-inch casters, two of which lock.

Thank you, Marc08EX. When I first helped my wife with the fridge cleaning, I used my portable platform and she thought it was a good idea. She`s used my stool to sit on while doing fridge cleaning, to avoid bending or resting on her knees. She loves it when I make life easier for her! And when I brought THIS guy into the picture, I practically got hugs and kisses.

Show your wife these pics. Maybe that will help? Tell her I said it`s, "mucho bueno!"

Yup. I think both Griot`s and Megs are made by Luxor. And I paid nowhere near the 200. I`m a bit too cheap/broke/poor to pay that amount.

Good review.

Thanks The Guz!

I purchased the Girots detailing cart at Bloomington Gold last summer.....its a great product. I love the electrical connections on it.....sure beats 2-3 extension cords laying on the floor. I`ve used it all winter in my garage.....love it!
