oh it *is* intoxicating! Be *sure* to bring a good range of tools with you too. I have a *carry* set I always bring into the yard, it includes most everything I typically use (torx, hex, wrenches, sockets and handles *and* and an 18 inch piece of tubing for additional leverage, screw drivers, pliers, wire cutters, radio removal tool, knife, small flashlight, magnetic pickup, duct tape) *AND* I have a very complete much larger (and heavier too) set that I put in the trunk and can come out and get if something requires more finese... this is how I got a set of Aeros for $58 on half price day! I had to send my son home to get the *handle* from a floor jack to put on the 18"long 1/2 inch breaker bar. nearly four feet of lever, and over 230 lbs of me, and even then it was close...
I also went through a couple of carts and settled with one that is oval almost round with a canvass wrap on it with tool places, velcro pouchs and the like. I think it was a CostCo purchase. Best part is that the wheels are very wide and smooth, they will track over most anything, previous carts had skinny short wheels... not very useful unless you are in a parking lot.
The guys that are *really* into this have a wagon, four inflated tires! And a trick I saw and use is to get a rechargeable 14.4 battery to use to move power seats around, front to clear the rear bolts, and rear to clear the front mounting bolts. very trick!
If it's a big yard bring some bottles of water too!
