Battling with Clips Thursday 04.23.09 0 by Tim Peet

Over the past few weeks, we have been thinking and testing different clips that can be used to hold our numerous attachments to our cart. Our problem was that we could not find a clip that met all of our needs. It must be able to hold a good amount a weight, it must be easy to take on and off the cart and it must be able to adapt to any fitting that we may need. During this struggle, we have  tested clips that were too tight, too loose, and others that ended up being kind of useless. So we continued to search Home Depot and our other resources for the perfect clip, when Chris came across a small PVC connector. We cut and modified it a little bit and soon realized that this was the clip we had been looking for. It is able to easily snap on and off, it looks nice, it can be adapted to hold many of our tools and objects, and it basically met all of our needs. This discovery happened only two days ago, so right now we are in the process of modifying these connectors, to create a new and improved universal clips for our cart.
