Summary: As good as it gets
Comment: I've worked in the construction field for years (but am now in computers) and I've used dozens of hand trucks of various makes. We've recently moved and to make things easier I decided to buy my own hand truck. We shopped the usual suspects--Northern Tool, Harbor Freight, Home Depot. I kept asking myself, "Where am I going to keep the truck after I'm done using it now?" Face it: most hand trucks would take up a small closet.
So I started poking around on Amazon and found this. I read all the reviews and thought "I'll take the chance." Smart move!
This is a wonderfully compact hand truck that fits in the gap beside my dresser and
The Wall>b, or practically anywhere.
I've stacked three 1.5 cubic foot boxes of books on it and moved them from the house, over the grass, to the shed for storage. No problem.
The way the wheels are designed it handles steps as easily as the bigger units.
I'm tall so I'd like a tad more length on the handle, but I've not had any problems with it, and my wife thinks the length is perfect.
Finally, the issue of what I call "tilt up"--that awkward moment when you pick up the load by tilting back on the handle. I simply put one foot on one of the wheels and tilt back--since the wheels are small, it is actually EASIER than it would be with a bigger-wheeled truck.
I was a bit skeptical when I saw the company president weigh in on his own product, but frankly, I believe he's got it right. This is a well designed product that combines stiffness with compactness and load carrying capability. Yesterday I saw someone with their bigger product the Magna Cart, and I think I'd rather have the Magna Cart Personal since it is a bit more compact for storage.
On top of everything else, this spud is less expensive than the larger steel hand-trucks. Win-win all around.
