Bought one the other day unassembled. There is a cross brace that
goes between the 2 legs that isn't shaped correctly - and the wheel
wobbles cause the axle is too small in diameter. I checked the Home
Depot assembled ones and they are all the same.

I got an argument from customer service so I used the cross brace as
is but the wheel wobble would drive me nuts. I happened to have a
small piece of roof flashing that I had saved - .017 (seventeen
thousands) thick. I cut a small piece to wrap around the axle - and
wallah - the wobble is gone. I called customer service to tell them
of the fix but I could tell by the questions the rep asked that he
had very little idea what I was talking about. I would assume they
get calls regularly about the wobble problem - you would think they
would correct it.

maybe if you bought from Sears.. and avoided ten inch pine
sticks..... Clark...

Hey - I now have a grandson working at Sears. But he hasn't improved
any of their products yet. (I don't remember seeing any wheelbarrows
in the local Sears.)



They sell 'um but not in store..
Hey - I now have a grandson working at Sears.

Does that mean you can get a discount now? that would be handy!
Their parts locator on the site is really nice, instead of having a washer
or dryer fixed, I pull the part and order it, no matter the manufacturer.
Sorry don't wanna be accused of SPAM..

"I've owned my Loadumper for years. It is by far the best cart I've ever
owned. Easy to move loads without lifting - and the dump feature is
amazing!
I'd say whatever age or gender you are, this is the cart for all your
outdoor chores. I've used it for firewood, gravel, mulch soil, planting
trees - you name it."

$190 - you must be kidding - that's for contractors only (or the wealthy
like you). I was talking the $30 homeowners model which was only a couple
dollars more than replacing the wheel on my old wheelbarrow.

btw, "Ergonomically engineered" got my attention. The marketing people at
Big Blue like to use that terminology and I , as "truth-in-advertising"
monitor. always enjoyed requesting them to document proof of their claims.
