Review on Magna Cart Ideal Folding Hand Truck with 150 lb Weight Capacity - Heavy-Duty Steel Construction by James Pfettscher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It seemed like the right tool for the job

I needed something to carry packages that weighed about 30-40 pounds each that I could also carry in the car. It seemed like the right tool for the job. Dude, I was disappointed. First, the base is smaller than I expected. The boxes I put on it always tipped forward. The base was too small to lift the boxes without having to hold the boxes and tilt them when I tilted the cart myself. The second problem is that the design of this car seems to be very bad. I'm pretty sure 80 pounds is going to snap this thing in half if I don't release the pressure as I pull back. You should also place the cart very low to the ground to keep everything on the cart. Not very comfortable. The final issue is those wheels. I love that they can be folded so the trolley fits in the car really well. The problem is that one of my wheels broke after about two weeks of use. It didn't break completely, but something definitely broke with the folding mechanism. Instead of just turning around to open the base, a wheel gets stuck and I have to pry it open while opening the base. It's cumbersome and annoying.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Security
