Ratings & Reviews for True Temper 6-cu ft 1 Wheel Steel Wheelbarrow

It's just a wheelbarrow

It's a wheelbarrow, you can put stuff in it and then move it around with more ease than doing it all by hand. It's a little top heavy when you start loading it up which adds on to the uneasiness of it due to the shorter handles, but all in all it's a wheelbarrow. I've hauled bags of cement, gravel, wood boards, yard waste, you name it, and it gets the job done. The extension past the front wheel is a little cumbersome if you're going over curbs or any uneven surfaces, but it works. For the pric...

Not for heavy duty use

Handles made cracking sound loading three 80lb bags of dry concrete in it and moving just 25 feet, so I am afraid they won't last long. Great for mixing two bags at a time as long as you do not have to move far, wheels seem to not be able to stand up to the weight. Three bags of concrete it just too much for it to handle.

A Good Choice

I bought this about two years ago to start my new homes landscaping. I have used this many times since. Yes I am not hauling tons of rock or cement. But for gardening and landscaping, it was a perfect fit. The only problem had is I had to put air in the tire once. For light to moderate use its a good buy

Works great

I found the wheelbarrow to be able to handle a full load of dirt or gravel just fine. I did beef up the back legs with an additional brace first thing. Good wheelbarrow

Spend more get something better

Good for light duty not very study and won't last very long. metal wheel protector is poor design and moves when you dump load.

Not what I expected

My father has had the same True Temper Wheelbarrow for decades. So when I needed to do some landscaping I bought one. After only one day the cheep sheet metal construction had buckled. If you need to move more than a bag of dirt or some mulch look elsewhere. I certainly won't get another.

Good Buy

Just did eight yards of mulch using it. Not as thick as my old one, but no problems- worked very well and Iam pleased.

Good value, but get an extra tube when you buy it.

Good value for the money. Not made for hauling big loads of rock and concrete, but you cant expect that for the price. Tire went flat the first day I put it to use when it ran over a bouganvilla thorn. Tire is way too soft. Plan on replacing the tube or going to a solid tire. Rest of the construction and durability is good for the price.

Poor Choice for Hard Work

I was looking not to spend $100 on a wheel barrow, but this one does not get the job done. Sure if you are hauling leaves, pine cones, twigs, or a single bag of compost. But put a little weight in it and the legs begin the bow and the whole thing starts to wobble while you push. Not to mention the 2 long screws that connect the legs and the barrel do not sit flush.

Perfect for home use

When redoing my backyard I was looking for something reliable but not pricey. This wheelbarrow worked out perfect. Other than having to replace the tube in the tire with a heavy duty tube, this wheelbarrow moved 2 palates of brick patio pavers, 10 tons of rock, 2 tons of sand, and 3 tons of dirt. Still running strong

Great for the price

I`ve only owned my wheelbarrow for a day,but my only complaint they did`nt spend any money on paint that is for sure it even had scratches and some rust on it when I bought it,but other than that I`m happy with it.You can`t beat the price.

OK

You pretty much get what you pay for, and not much else. Its a decent little wheel barrow, but dont plan on hauling much else besides bursh or loose soil with it. I went ahead and stained the handles to give it a longer life...

Light duty only

Mine broke after the first year of only moderate use. Screws that mount the wheel onto the handles broke out. If you're only going to use for hauling leaves or something very light, it might be okay.

Just what I needed.

This is a great value for the money. Obviously not for extreme heavy duty use, but great for the average homeowner that needs to move dirt or mulch.

Excellent value. Very durable.

I have owned this wheelbarrow for over 10 years now. It is stored outdoors (upside down) year round. (I live in the Pacific NW and we get a little rain). The only problem I had was with the pneumatic tire. I got tired of using fix-a-flat on it every couple of years or so, and I replaced it with a solid wheel from Harbor Freight. Still works like a champ!

Does the trick for home use

For the price, this is a decent value. I would not recommend loading it down with heavy items such as concrete or rock, but for yard waste and debris it worked fine. I did find that the wheelbarrow did not roll well in wet areas, but worked well on concrete. I can see myself reinforcing the wheelbarrow at the end of the summer because there is a wobble. However, one must realize that this is not a commercial grade wheelbarrow and you get what you pay for. I paid $35.98 on sale (at Lowes), which ...
