Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ames True Temper 2380500 True Temper Hose WagonCustomer Review: Beware - Decent Cart But Missing Many Parts Summary: 2 Stars
This is a medium-duty hose reel cart. It looks good and has reasonably good fit and finish. We use it in an indoor industrial application so it doesn't have to stand up to the weather, but does have to stand up to frequent use. So far it is meeting expectations from a performance standpoint. It handles frequent unwinding/winding of our Ames 100 ft commercial-duty hose, but could be a little more solid overall. The fact that the wheels do not lock is also a drawback, since the cart rolls when you pull on the hose. If those minor issues were the only drawbacks, I would rate it 4/5 stars.
However, and this is a big however, everything negative that other reviewers say about the disastrous packaging is absolutely true. It ships in its own retail carton and the first one we received had a mousehole-size hole in the carton and was missing several key parts (I still don't understand how such large parts could be missing through such a small hole). Amazon sent a replacement cart next-day (thank you, Amazon, for great customer service), and it, too, was missing key parts (go figure, but they were different key parts from the first one). By sheer luck we ended up with just enough parts to put one complete cart together and then put the odd assortment of remaining parts back in the least damaged of the boxes for the return. Based on that experience you would need to order at least two carts and, with some luck, you would be able to assemble one complete cart. I don't like those odds.
Bottom line, I would recommend staying away from this cart. It's not quite good enough to make the missing-parts hassle worth it.
