Something no musician should ever be without

A folding hand truck! I've got the Magna Cart folding hand truck, and it's invaluable for carrying my combo amp around. I strap my amp down with a couple of 50-lb rated bungee cords, and I'm off to the races. I'm just getting too old to be schlepping gear in and out of places, so this nifty little hand truck is really handy to have. Folds up nice and flat, too!

I used one of these last night at a gig to haul my gear to a outdoor stage that had grass all around it which was also wet from a rain shower that had just come through the area. It worked very well. One of our guitar players brings one with him to every gig, it was his.

Think i'll buy one to keep around the house.

I actually found one in my garage just before we moved a couple of weeks ago.

Bought some ratchet straps to hold the cab/head down, and now my amp sits on it permanently. Makes moving soooo much easier.

Mind you, mine isn't a folding one, but still works the same.

Yup... I have a cheaper ($13 or something) Walmart folding luggage cart that I bought on the way home when I picked up my 15" combo... The combo stays on it all the time (cept at a gig, when I take it off & put it on the floor). I can haul the combo AND my 2x10 ext. cab at the same time. Perfect. For a smaller gig or to practice, I can put all my other gear (bedals, bags, etc) on top and make it all in one trip...
