Review on 🔨 RoadPro RPTT-1 Wooden Tire Thumper: 19-Inch, Assorted Dark or Light Wood for Effective Testing by Troy Gerhardt

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Nice looking but soft wood

Nice looking but soft wood, poplar? Pine?, by no means a hardwood as stated in some reviews. The first one received had chipped in a few places and was replaced by Revain and looked fine but again lacks density and chips easily, dents if you drop it, use it, store it etc. Stamp points to Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania . , but the UPC label clearly says "Made in China". There are a few other Ken tools, Ozarks, that I've ordered since and they don't compare for density, rigidity etc. That too looks good, but if functionality and durability are important I've looked elsewhere. Long story short if I wanted to intentionally break this in half on the garage floor it would be a no-brainer, as mentioned it would be very difficult.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Expensive
