Wheelbarrow Volume Increaser This patented gardening tool, invented by Rutherford EMC member Bruce Toole, can save gardeners and landscapers time trimming hedges, clearing out vegetable gardens, spreading compost, transporting mulch, raking and hauling leaves in the fall or just general yard clean-up. The WVI is bolted onto the rim of a metal wheelbarrow to add another 14 cubic feet of carrying capacity. Its size is adjustable to fit wheelbarrows from 24 1/2 inches to 28 1/2 inches wide, and its front gates open to allow you to dump a load as you would a conventional wheelbarrow. The WVI is made of heavy-gauge steel tubing, welded joints, powder-coated black paint to prevent rusting and 14-gauge, half-inch-square, galvanized wire screen. It comes with a kit that includes bolts, nuts, wires and a guide for drilling. (The WVI can also be attached to poly-tub wheelbarrows using load spreaders, which involves purchasing material separately.) The WVI, which doesn’t include the wheelbarrow, sells for $34.95, plus shipping. (828) 288-9258 |
