    Move a lot of cardboard boxes? This can be a big help!

     

    Every year millions of people move. Even if you don’t move, I’m sure you’ve got “plenty of stuff” packed in cardboard boxes. Dick’s Gadget Warehouse is pretty much floor to ceiling cardboard boxes. They’re great storage and usually they’re free because they arrive at your place with something else inside. The only trouble with cardboard boxes is that they’re hard to carry. Except the neat ones that have handles cut in the side. Well now every cardboard box you have can have handles, thanks to Box-Buddy. It’s the box handle cutter! Box-Buddy is a clever, lightweight tool that easily cuts handles in the side of cardboard boxes. It helps eliminate the awkward handling and carrying of heavy loads that could result in lower back pain and injuries. No other cutter offers such a simple way of cutting "C" shaped holes on opposite sides of any typical style corrugated box. It’s easy to use. Separate the two halves of Box Buddy. Push the pronged half through one side of the cardboard box where you want the handle to be. Then d line up the other half of Box Buddy with the prongs and push them together. You do have to push hard to make a good, clean cut out. Box-Buddy stores easily and is priced under $10! I spoke to the guy who invented it, Lionel Robitaille. Do you know I always talk about how expensive it is to bring a product to market? Lionel spent $250,000 so far! So if you need a Box-Buddy, it would be great if you bought one soon!

    Here’s the company’s website, complete with demo: www.box-buddy.ca

    And here’s a place on Ebay that sells them for $9.99:
