The Handy Small Garden Trolley/Cart - THGTSMALL

For what it cost this is a handy and reasonably sturdy little trolley. Obviously you don't get a Roles Royce job for this price.I have a larger heavy duty trolley that I made myself, which cost double just for the wheels, but that is often too large and clumsy and won't go through a normal door.Being an engineer it was reasonably easy to put together, although I got off to a bad start by bolting the steerable wheels to the wrong end. The drawings and instructions were not much help. Unless you are part of an F1 pit crew it takes the best part of an hour to assemble, and it helps to be handy with your hands and good with 3D puzzles.Some of the washers were a bit flimsy, so I replaced them with larger thicker ones.Some of the clips pins that hold the sides on were not properly closed, so could have fallen off and been lost in use, but an appropriate tap with a hammer soon resolved that.It is important to ensure the wheel nuts are properly tightened, or the wheels might soon fall off, with the fixing nuts lost somewhere around the garden.Having separate swivels for each steerable wheel makes it more stable when turning, although the resulting linkage was a bit wobbly, but it works.Really can't understand why the pull handle is detachable for such a small trolley, unless you want to hitch it to your garden tractor, since it adds extra cost and complication and makes the handle a bit rickety.

Unpacked and took one look at the base and it is very badly bent. - Lost for words . . .

Excellent size for my wife's gardening needsNot heavy duty but ideal

Had this for a couple of years now and although there has been some rusting (it's left out in the open most of the time though) it is brilliant. it is tough, strong and long-lasting; well worth the money.

I was disappointed with the quality of manufacture of this trolley, it looks like it has been welded by chimpanzees. That said, we've been using it in the garden a while now and it seems to be holding up fine.

I would say this is a good basic trolley. It's obviously not as robust as a professional model but its very good value for money. The large rubber tyres make it ideal for pulling over rough lawns. The steering is excellent for tight corners. The supplied instructions were a bit obscure and seemed to relate to some other model, but I managed to work it out. One drawback for me it has no brake! I have a garden with some steep slopes so this was a problem. I solved this my self by adding a brake, (with a few bits from B&Q), that automatically operates on the back wheels -- if you let go of the handle.

This is not a sturdy vehicle and proof was the easily bent metal when it was delivered with paint chipped off.The wire side walls are flimsy and I suspect we will be lucky to see a year’s use out of this.

This trolley is robust and roomy, just right for us older and less able folks, although I've not given a lot of testing yet. The packing and instruction leaflet were exemplary with all the fiddly fittings supplied with clear identification and specification in the leaflet making the assembly simple, except that the preassembled front axle support had been assembled with parts the wrong way round. Didn't take long for that to be apparent and was easily remedied. Appears to be much more robust than an earlier item I had years before. I'd recommend it.
