Fiskars Harvesting Basket: Ergonomic Garden Produce Tool Carrier, Colander Side, Plastic, Black

After receiving this basket, I was struck by the durability and capacity of this item. I really had not expected this. Most of us are used to the exaggerated claims in ads - but this is definitely not the case here. However, seeing the capacity and durability I then became concerned with the potential for this basket becoming too heavy before I realize it. It is common to want to carry as many tomatoes and other treasures as you can. Although I thought the Garden Harvest Basket, would hold a lot more than I could carry - the many features made it possible for me to do it without a problem. One feature claimed the handles locked together to make the basket more stable. This is not a completely accurate description of the feature which is more of a binding than a locking. As long you maintain pressure, the handles remain bound together, but can become separated if loosely held. Another unique feature the basket has is a rinsing area that allows the water and soil to pass through the basket while retaining the vegetables. The basket is well balanced and does not feel like it could be a problem. When not using the Garden Harvest Basket for hauling ripened vegetables, you can use it carry your gardening tools or you can do both at the same time as there are three separate areas. I really liked having this tool to use when starting the planting of my bulbs last week. I was able to take all I need in one trip.

I am excited to get this as a Christmas gift for my godmother. The price and quality are great. It's a blessing to be able to purchase quality goods at a good price.
