Your very own dump truck for $40

If weekend projects are your thing, think about getting your hands on this Haul-Master 1/2-Ton Truck Bed Cargo Unloader. It’s ingenious even though it’s nothing more than a sheet of polypropylene mesh that wraps around a shaft turned by a hand crank. Just hook it on the end of your lowered tailgate, pull the mesh sheet across the length of the bed and load your cargo right on top.

When you’re ready to unload, just spin the crank and watch your precious cargo spill right out the back; no more tiresome trips up into the bed with a shovel. If you need to spread gravel or topsoil, you could drive slowly and have a buddy dump the load as you go.
