| I bought this chart several months ago and have used it every weekend while gardening in my yard. I have used it to haul potting soil, flowers, huge and small, to landscaping bricks. It is a very sturdy cart and can hold a fantastic deal. I like the chart and would recommend it to anyone looking for a gardening chart that will make gardening chores less stressful on the back. |
What I needed, after customizing

In spite of the complaints in some preceding reviews, I ordered this from Amazon. I placed the order on a Sunday; Precision Products shipped it (via UPS) on Monday; UPS delivered it on Friday. The box was intact, which I attribute to UPS' careful handling, since for the weight it COULD have used a retaining strap.
All the small parts were in one sealed bag, and all accounted for. It took me about an hour to do the assembly. Don't tighten the bolts completely until you have them all in place, leaving some wiggle room. After assembly you might want to saw off the protruding bolt ends.
My house is surrounded by natural terrain, which is too rough for the typically small garden cart wheels. 20" diameter is about right for me. My specific need is to cart topsoil UPHILL. I found with the small-handeled carts that they would run over my feet as I backed uphill; this cart has a comfortably LONG handle keeping one out of the way of its body. The only shortcoming for my purpose is that at rest this cart is considerably inclined forward (opposite the handle). This design makes dumping simple on level ground, but on an uphill incline the legs don't provide enough traction to keep the cart from rolling back down. So, using 1" steel pipe with the existing bolts, I extended the legs so the cart now rests with its bin level, and doesn't roll downhill. Customizing never hurts.
This is a solid product, with quick delivery. |
Nice Cart, but..

I bought this cart because I wanted to lug some top soil down a path to my lake cottage and this looked like the perfect ergonomic solution - to push down, not life up, like a traditional wheelbarrow. I am an older female and can use all the mechanical advantage I can get.
The cart arrived in horrible condition - wet, loosely taped box not sealed well at all. The cart was covered in grease (certainly did not look new), there was no hardware, no packing slip, no instructions...I was very dismayed - I did not even know if all the parts were there, how to place it together or what to buy for hardware. I questioned a millwright friend if he could take a look at it and by some miracle place it together - I did not want to take it to the dump if it could be saved. My friend did manage to place the thing together but had to manufacture some brackets to hold the rusty axle onto the cart and rig some washers for the wheels. So now I had a usable cart, but I should have never had to jump through these hoops. In the meantime, I did write a complaint to Amazon regarding the condition of the cart and how miserable I was.
I want to offer that Amazon "did the right thing" and offered me 3 options to "make it right"...1) A 30% discount on the item. 2)A replacement order at no additional charge. 3)A refund. I opted for the 30% discount since the cart was salvaged (I am a honest individual). I also received an email that my credit card had been credited.
Not a fantastic experience with the product but AMAZON CAME THROUGH and I would be delighted to continue to do business with them - I have been a strong customer since they started and would have despised to stop being a customer.
The cart, by the way is a nice cart - does the job I expected with ease. The larger size wheels are a plus in rolling over rough terrain. I would buy this cart again, but hopefully in better shape next time.

Pleasantly surprised!

When I received this product, there was no tape on the carton whatsoever! It was held closed by only 2 thin plastic straps and it rattled loudly. I wondered what kind of a mess I had gotten into! But it was honestly simple to assemble and only 1 part was missing. I called Precision's Customer Service, and the part arrived shortly.
The cart is wonderful! It's 15.2" long, 15" deep and 24" wide and fits through my small door to the garden. I'm a Senior Citizen and use it to go firewood, which it does perfectly! Would have given 5 rating, but for the missing part. |
