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

Great Product

A good wheel barrow at a fair price is hard to come by. I was excited to see this one at a reasonable price and bought it right away. I use it at my home to move soil and rocks and gardening supplies. It was well assembled and works great. Has good balance and handles well. It may be a little light weight for commercial use but for a homeowner it's just right.

It's fine

I purchased this wheelbarrow. It was assembled; I put it in Forester. I've used it. All seems fine. Not much to write about; it;'s a wheelbarrow. Hopefully, it lasts being out in the elements all the time. So far, so good.

Junk

If you're moving leaves around, it's fine. But anything heavier than that and this wheelbarrow can't handle it. The bin seems sturdy enough and will probably last a while, but the rest of it is cheap plastic or metal and will fall apart. I was moving piles of dirt and the whole thing was unstable and felt like it was going to crumble. Spend a few extra bucks and get the Kobalt

So you thought you bought a good wheel barrow

So you thought you bought a good wheel barrow only to discover it is really just cheap. Cheapness Factor #1 The rubber on the wheel is so thin that simply running over a brier branch flattens your wheel. I found 2 separate holes/leaks within a week. Solution: Cut up that old tire behind the garage and make a tube liner. You can now push the barrow through razor blades with no ill effect. Cheapness Factor #2 The thing is so rickety you are afraid to put much weight in it for fear it will colla...

Old Faithful!!!

I bought this True Temper 6-cu ft wheelbarrow a year or two after I moved into my new and current home in 1981. The brand new home landscaping was not completed when I moved in. This wheelbarrow has been a faithful utility for all those years and it has shown the wear-n-tear for the many years of service: 2000-sq-ft of lawn, sidewalk cement, fence post footings, years of gardening, land excavating, etc. I recently reinforced the base of the barrow due to the on-set of rust. It again performed pe...

C- quality

The angle braces that go between the steel barrow and the wood poles are made of hard plastic. This gives reduced support - the barrow wobbles a lot and is not stable when heavily filled. I do not think the plastic parts will last long. Also, the screw holes are not aligned properly. This causes the forward bolts on both sides to be bent, increasing strain and reducing barrow stability because it is impossible to tighten the bolts properly. For extra $20 dollars one can get a superior wheelbar...

Great for the price

I have only used this a few times- but for the price compared to the other ones you can't beat it!

So easy even a monkey can use it!

It's got a bucket with a wheel and 2 handles...easy to use. This classic piece of equipment has been around for hundreds of years and will be around for hundreds more. This is exactly what you think a wheelbarrow would be. If you need one, buy it.

Gets the job done, but not built for heavy loads

Easy assembly, good instructions. Wheel guard is designed poorly and rotates up into the tire when dumping heavy loads. Bucket is not properly supported in the front which causes the steel to flex under moderate to heavy loads. I imagine the bottom of the bucket will crack by the end of this first season, as the steel flexes as you roll over any slight bump. Decent enough if you are looking for an inexpensive wheelbarrow to abuse, but don't buy this if you are looking for something to last you s...

Good All Around Wheelbarrow

My wife and I just purchased a home in December and now that spring is here we needed a wheelbarrow for different tasks and didn't want to spend $100 on one. The price was right on this and with the steel tray I know that will last for a while. We have already had it full of mulch, dirt, pavers, large rocks and brush and it handled all pretty well. I will admit there was some swaying with the load of large rocks in it but for us that isn't an every use task for it. Full loads of mulch and dirt a...

parts missing

Happy with purchase except axle was missing from parts box. Luckily was able to use one from my old wheelbarrow.

Solid and well built.

The sales person took me right to the wheelbarrow and explained all the different models.

Brought this but returned it..

Brought at a good price but returned for a wheelbarrow with a flat free tire.. the tire on this one kept going flat

Cheaply made

I've been told you can't buy a quality wheel barrel these days for less than a $100 and this one proves it. Loose nut and bolts and too much plastic. Real wobbly construction. It hasn't broke yet but I won't be surprised if/when it does.
