Tools and Hardware Reviews of Allsop 28162 Wheel Easy LE Folding Yard Cart
Customer Review: great for many moderate jobs...
Summary: 5 Stars
We've had this little wheelbarrow for 5 years now. It is especially good for carrying things to a boat if you dock at marinas. It will carry rocks, and wood. We use it for carrying bird seed bags from the car as well.
The tire did go flat after 3 yrs but was easy to reinflate. The canvas has held up to some
nasty wet weather and carrying heavy loads.
When we go to town for supplies we fold it up and put it in the back of the car. That way if no one is available to help you carry stuff out, you can do it yourself.
Anyone with gardens, a boat, or who is developing physical limitations will find it extremely useful.
When ours arrived, some screw attachments were missing. We called Allsop up and they mailed the parts out
immediately. Other than that it has been perfect for us.
Customer Review: BAD Inflatable Tire: This version of this cart is a waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
This would be a great product if the wheel were not inflatable, if it were just a hard wheel. As it is, it's VERY difficult to inflate the tire because the valve is hard to get to. Then, the tube just split wide open (it seemed pretty dry and crackly) within a couple months of use. Now, am I supposed to go buy a replacement tube for this little tire? What a drag. Even getting the tube out to see how bad the hole in it was: a big pain! - not nearly as easy as changing the tube in a bike tire. I would not recommend this version of this cart to anyone, I would get one that does not have a tube and tire system that needs to be filled with air and replaced. - Oh, and part of the plastic on one side of the assembly that holds the tire broke within days. It still worked, so I was able to use it anyway, but just another drag...Customer Review: Missing essential pinsUPDATE Five Stars
Summary: 1 Stars
I can see how this wheelbarrow would be great for hauling around small jobs around the yard, IF I could get the essential detent pins to finish putting it together. The instructions list four detent pins to keep the handles in place; the box only had one. I faxed a letter and a copy of my order to Allsop, and I am still waiting for a reply or for my detent pins to arrive. Until then, only one lonely star for Allsop.
****After a few phone calls to different numbers, I finally reached their Idaho warehouse and the woman who answered took my name and address and said she would put the missing items in the mail right away. I received them a couple days later and the wheelbarrow is now a good functioning tool! It's all good and upgraded to five stars.
Customer Review: The Allsop Wheel Easy?
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased the Allsop Wheel Easy last year and find it just as helpful as it is frustrating. The idea of it is great, however, I don't think that the designers actually used the product before manufacturing it. It is good in theory, but because there is nothing supporting the bottom if you need to let go with one hand (to open a gate or fence) the cart flips over to the side and dumps anything that is in it, out onto the ground. The Allsop cart is nice if you are just carting a few leaves or weeds to the compost pile, but I would not recommend this product if you are doing any heavy labor, have to open any gates or fit through narrow passages.Customer Review: Don't just use it for gardening!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having just gotten back from a week at Boy Scouts summer camp, I could have sold at least six of these if I had them. It was invaluable for transporting cots, sleeping bags, cases of water, firewood, duffle bags, etc., and the design allows it to operate over gravel, dirt, tree roots and uphill with ease. It easily folds and takes up little room in our van. The only problem we experienced was being asked to transport other campers' equipment! We have used it many times for camping, with the same comments, and would highly recommend it if you have to transport your camping equipment any distance. Just be prepared for all the envious comments!
