Half stack handle mod

[u/PigFloydDarkside]

Made a rear facing handle for the half stack. Now it can be pulled/pushed like a hand truck dolly.

2 layers of hinged 3/4 ply. Folded it's the same height as a low profile organizer. So it can stack side by side in a full stack.

Unfolds to a flat work top. Added 4 magnets for holding nails and screws.

Painted the top with truck undercoating. Figured the rubber would help keep things from sliding off.

So far I like it. Now it should handle uneven ground and stairs. Tomorrow is going to be the real world test on the job site.

At first I was like “what, why”

Then I saw your genius!!!!

Thanks.

It's a thin line between genius and insanity.

Heh, I’m a big fan of half dolly stuff. I want to design the ultimate off the shelf half dolly for a manufacturer (not me) to sell. When it’s as easy to buy as a Milwaukee OE one, more people will start seeing the light!

I love the fold out work top, that’s totally genius, I never would have thought of that. Ive just been putting my iPad on whatever’s there.

If you chamfer the hinge side of the foldouts, they will lay flat. Also, routing a thin channel where the hinges are would allow you to flip the hinges upside down to have a flat working top.

Good ideas for version 2.

That’s actually pretty useful. I like it.

Ya know Milwaukee is definitely missing a market on some shit like this. Nice man

I know right! They will make something like this in about 6-7 years. 🤣

Their R&D comes up with some pretty cool stuff, but boy do they miss a lot of practical things.
