Nice alternative to wheel barrow for light-medium jobs.
Gary R Zarback•July 30, 2018
I purchased this instead of a traditional wheel barrow because can be hung for storage out of the way, instead of requiring floor space.
I needed something to move around dirt & sod, and also to mix quickcrete in. Mixing 1 80-lb bag is easy and this unit handles it flawlessly.
Mixing 2x bags (160-lb) plus water, this unit starts flexing and twisting, hinting at maximum load capacity. I am quite confident that if I attempted to mix 3 bags (240-lb) plus water, this unit would have collapsed, or the tube framing bent during attempt to move it or tilt.
However, 2 bags at a time were fine for what I needed (mixed 20 bags total) and I'm overall pleased. It also handled a dozen heaping loads of sod / dirt mixture quite well. The two large tires do a great job of helping keep balance / stable load.

Good, but not great
Cartoon Head•June 19, 2018
Overall pretty good. Has a tendency to tip forward easily if you load in the front. (E.g., mulch bag). Holes for handle connections were also not quite right, making that difficult to secure. I wish they would have had the areas around the attachment holes flatter. They make it possible to ONLY use the bare minimum head size on a bolt, which is why most of these basins TEAR APART after just a couple of years' use. You really need to use 1" wide washers for extra support and longer life, and their design specifically prevents that. Intentional?
Seems like it will last about 2 years. Probably would not buy again... but considering other options out there, there's NOTHING that's really long lasting quality any more. Great NICHE opportunities for AMERICAN companies wanting to capitalize on the market demand.

Kind of dissappointing
Pansy Flowers•March 3, 2018
This is a nice cart and much easier to use than my wheel barrow. I am over 70 years old and I just can't move stuff the way I could when I was younger. I like the weight, capacity, and wheel base. Unfortunately; on my third use, one of the tires was completely deflated and came off the rim. I got the tire back on the rim and attempted to re-inflate it but the tube would not hold air. I took the tire back off the rim and found that the tube had literally blown (see photo). The tire was not over inflated. I used a hand pump and eased it up to the 50 psi noted on the wheel. I will replace the tube because it would be SO much trouble to take the cart apart and return it. I am going to get an extra tube in anticipation of the other tire experiencing the same fate. UPDATE I was finally able to find a tube for this tire. When I couldn't find anything on my first try, I contacted Clam Corporation. After they verified my purchase and found the cart under warranty, they are sending me a new wheel assembly (tube, tire, and rim). The company was VERY responsive and I appreciate that. This experience with the blown tube has kind of dampened my enthusiasm about this product. Anyone who has ever had to re-mount a tire on a rim knows how difficult it can be. However, I used the cart yesterday on a hilly part of my yard and it is WAY easier to use than a regular wheel barrow. At the end of my job, I was able to put all my equipment in the cart and haul it back up the hill with little effort.
Assembly issues
Hershel•January 15, 2018
I haven't used it yet. BUT the assembly has been a challenge. Hours and still haven't tightened everything yet. The directions and visuals are poorly written. Their best suggestion was to 'not tighten any screws until fully assembled'. I had to change out several screws and struggle to place screws in appropriate holes. Reaching into the tub and then trying to thread the nut on the other side, is really a two-person task. Or using duct tape to try to hold one end in place. Even had to use a mallet to set the handlebar. Will try to finish up tomorrow and then give it a test drive. I researched many wheelbarrows and chose this one. I hope this one turns out to live up to its 'hype'.
JUNK TIRES
john c dodds•May 13, 2017
IT IS LIGHT BUT HOLDS A LOT. THE TIRES ARE PURE JUNK HAD TO FILL WITH GUNK TO KEEP THE TIRES INFLATED AND FOR THE
PRICE YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD PUT ON BETTER TIRES?
TIRE BLEW UP EVEN WITH GUNK IN THEM. I NOTICED AFTER ONLY 3 MONTHS USE THE TIRES WERE WEATHER CRACKED I NEED TO FIND SOLID REPLACEMENT TIRES SOMEWHERE?
