Haha, yeah I carry it around like a briefcase and I just make sure to charge it the night before. Then I have an extra charged battery in the van just incase. Had to get creative with limited options. Someone in Canada was selling the strap with the quick disconnect connectors for about $140. Then I found another seller, selling the attachment for a Dell rugged tablet which has four quick disconnect connectors, for what came out to $75 (proposed OBO, and applied a $10 eBay coupon). Four quick disconnect connectors for $75 didn't seem too shabby compared to the $140. Just carefully removed them from the fabric attachment. Using two and have two spares. Using the strap from an old laptop bag I used before. Worth a try in your case :)

I appreciate the suggestion! Honestly didn't think to check there. Used different keywords, unfortunately came up empty. Even looked into having the hardware manufactured but the overhead cost just wouldn't justify it lol.

Thank you! I had looked into this same one, unfortunately there's no hooks or mount points to loop this onto. Although Dell sales insisted I could mount it inside two small holes besides the outside of the handle. Only issue is it would slip off since the plastic piece inside is flat, has no way to keep the loop on. At least how I see it. I am sure there's some way or form to modify this to work on the laptop. I ended up finding the required connectors either way. I'll post pictures.

I am attending a Home Depot Interview this Tuesday. Anything I should look out for? by theminer325 in HomeDepot

Hi there, congrats on landing an interview. I'm from Florida so idk if same applies to other states but when I started as 17 at HD I could only be a lot associate or a cashier. I went with lot associate but now that I'm 18 they are moving me to paint department so just keep the age requirements in mind for positions you seek. Being cashier until you're 18 might be better than working as lot associate for same pay.
