If they took pride in their equipment there wouldn't be holes in the bottom. It may not be as strong as steel but It's not made out of aluminum foil either. Despite your best suggestions that it is fragile, let's get real; and the reality is it takes some real effort to put a hole in it. Pride in their equipment indeed. Did you ask them how it got the holes in it, I doubt it. But you just somehow know it was treated with due care and somehow just got a hole in it. Sounds like your everyday teenage kid to me.
And you can't shovel 5000 lbs of gravel out of the back of your truck without scratching the paint with the shovel either, unless your using a kid's plastic sand pail shovel.
