Duluth torture-tests tool tote (buckle up!)
February 26, 2008
Duluth Trading recently told me that they'd "torture-tested" their new Crash Test Tote Bag by dragging it behind a pickup truck for a few miles.
The bag was banged up after the ride, they admitted, but its 1.2-mm-thick "seat belt" polyester was still able to hoist a 250-pound V-8 engine.
Skeptical, I said I'll believe it when I see it, and may have even rolled my eyes.
Well, well. Click play on the clip above, and excuse me while I torture-test my foot into my mouth.
Tool companies, take heed: Give me irrefutable evidence your product performs as you claim it will, and you'll have one less cynical journalist copping an attitude about your latest invention.
