When I first came to Australia I worked as a Trolley Pusher.

Using this tool, I was able to make an extra $5-6/hour from all the coins people abandoned in the Trolleys because they couldn't get it out. This tool will unlock coins from any Woolworths, Aldi, Coles, Dan Murphy's, 1st Choice Liquor trolley.

This tool also hooks onto any key chain.

Watch it in action here:

For only $6.90 inc. postage you can also have this tool.

*Please note that you should always be a responsible citizen and return trolleys back to the appropriate place. The Universal Trolley Unlocker is for those moments in life when YOUR money gets stuck in THEIR stupid trolleys.

I'm selling this on eBay for $9.90 so it's a 30% discount.

    I've just asked for assistance whenever coins/tokens have gotten stuck

      This is not the same thing.
      This guy is selling a tool that will release the money from the trolleys.

      Your tool will release a trolly not any money inside

    Dang… thought I could use this in Melbourne Airport and offered everyone a $2.00 trolley each.. and get rich!

      They are now free, like most but not all international airports

      But before that I thought the $2 was TO BUY IT and keep it :-)

      Melbourne airport hack: they're free in departures, but expensive in arrivals. Just go upstairs and get a free trolley.

  • HomeAlone on 25/06/2014 - 19:07

    Can you post a picture of the actual item for sale?

    Not going to pay for something if I don't know what I'm getting.

      its kinda hidden so you cant copy I think. Looks like a bent wire in the vid.

      Why not? Every person has a job to do, whether it be cleaning up after others, or pushing trolleys about when people should be leaving them in bays but don't.
      If he ups his pay from $12 an hour to $18 - a decent untaxed pay raise - more power to him.

      • 8200 on 25/06/2014 - 19:26

        With my "key" [see other post below] walking back to the car [I park further away so no car-park dings] I usually find trolleys with coins still in them for the lazy bones, "good little earner" tm.Arthur Daley for nothing

        @tihocan - you can make $5-$6/hr by pushing the trolleys back for free. This tool means the person is taking the Money and leaving the trolley there… Thus making someone else still have to push the trolley back.

          Good point!!!

          Imagine how you would look fussing around the supermarket car park fiddling with trollies and scabbing $2 coins, then leaving the trollies where you find them

        If you put the trolley back, it ejects the coin. That's why Aldi etc. install these coin locks; the loss of $2 is just enough incentive for most people to return the trolley.

        If the OP was really returning trolleys, his pay would be the same whether he had the doohickey or not.

        The only benefit this has is that you can get your (or someone else's) coin back without returning the trolley.

    I haven't seen these kinds of trolleys around SA anymore

    THIS is the best one, see below why:

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Universal-Retractable-Removable-S…

    Because it works on the other ALDI trolley that has the coin slot on the side, no other one will work except this one

    Yes you can just take the coin only and of course just unlock too

    Be a good corporate person like me and unlock 6+ other trolleys for other shoppers

    not sure if this is more or less legit than lockpicks..

  • zooter on 25/06/2014 - 19:35

    Ive never seen anybody abandon trolley with coins inside Melbourne

    • [Deactivated] on 25/06/2014 - 21:26

      I've picked up more than $10 in the last few months in Melbourne by returning trolleys to the correct place and getting the coins that people have left behind. Some of the trolleys are left very close to the correct trolley return.

    For 35k you can buy the whole website and sell the tools yourself. Some people are dreamers.

    You made $6 extra an hour then realised it's easier to relieve suckers of their dollars by offering something completely unnecessary? Nice lurk because as we all know there's one born every minute. Left a coin in a trolley once so the collector could get a bonus. He came past as I was getting into my car and was intent on refunding it until I insisted it was a tip. Obviously I don't use them often.

    You'd make more money playing a VB cardboard box outside the Supermarket. No leg work required. Not even talent.
    5/10 for entrepreneurship though.

  • grasstown on 25/06/2014 - 20:36

    That's cool!
    OP, do you have anything to trick the coke/chips vending machine?

      I have a $6.90 piece of string I can sell you.

    What an exciting deal, and job opportunity…

    I had a coin become jammed in a trolley on one occasion. A screwdriver from the boot of my car worked just fine to remove it. Adjacent trolley had a jammed coin and another with a stuck tray containing a token. Successfully retrieved those too. No damage done and performed a service for Aldi. Repeated on a couple of occasions since.

    Decided to refrain from any actual attempt to make a proper living out it. I am such a fool.

  • cornucopia on 25/06/2014 - 20:55

    $6.90 for a piece of bent wire has got to be better gig than roaming carparks prying $2 coins out of trolleys. Perhaps we should all go into the bent wire business! Just sayin'…….:-)

  • Snoop on 25/06/2014 - 21:06

    For $1 or $2 I think most people are pretty keen to get their money back. But back when I was a kid, Chadstone SC trolleys took 20c pieces. On any given Friday night or Saturday I'd easily make $20-$30 taking the trolleys back. It used to really p the trolley collector guys off though!!!

  • CMichael on 25/06/2014 - 22:28

    Or I could save myself $6.90 and use the small pair of pliers that are always in my car, doubles as a useful tool for other things too!

    If I wanted a bent wire, i'd recycle my clothes hangers…

    You should change that to "I'm trying to sell this on eBay for $9.90"

    because none have been sold…

    Why is this even necessary? Just take the trolley back and get the money that way

  • woteva on 25/06/2014 - 23:49

    No use to me when I get Coles home delivery

  • cperry on 26/06/2014 - 00:27

    Isn't this Spam? Why is this a "deal"? As someone said above, it's a piece of wire!

  • OzBragain on 26/06/2014 - 07:56

    Please note that you should always be a responsible citizen and return trolleys back to the appropriate place

    In which case you wouldn't need to pay $6.90 for someone to mail you a bent piece of coathanger wire

  • woteva on 26/06/2014 - 22:45

    Looks like a bent bike spoke
