The Bristol Tool Company Easiload Galvanised Metal Wheelbarrow - 85ltr/150kgs

My old barrow (VERY old), finally gave up so after a lot of research I bought one of these. It's easy to put together and everything fitted without the need to change anything. As an engineer I disliked the fittings supplied. It comes with domed crosshead bolts and shake proof nuts. I replaced these for Allen head bolts and nylock locking nuts and this is why I gave it 4 stars. It's first job was to move 3 ton of ballast to the back of our house and then to move the mixed concrete to make a large shed base. It was then used to fill up a 6 yard skip. My old barrow used to fall over if you ever dared to throw anything into it but this one was solid as a rock. I have to say that having never used a barrow with a pneumatic wheel I was more than impressed as to how comfortable it was to use. It was bumped up and down ramps for days and took it all in it's stride. All in all chuffed to bits with this and highly recommend it.

Item is exactly what I needed. It has been used several times to transport large, heavy stones for dry stone wall building and has managed easily. It feels very solid, is easy to move and is large enough for what I need. The seller was excellent and the item was delivered in 24 hours.It was easy to assemble and comes in 7 parts, the bucket part, wheel, frame, 2 handles, 2 brackets and the wheel. Each is assembled using a nut and bolt. It does not come with any tools to assemble it, so you'll need a basic socket set. It only took 10 minutes to put together and couldn't be easier.This is an excellent product and I highly recommend it.UPDATE: After using this all weekend carrying very heavy large stones around, I have noticed the pan tends to warp, especially if something heavy is dropped into it. Having said that, and although the pan is made from a fairly thin metal, it has not split and any warping can be hammered back into shape. Overall, still pleased and would still recommend this.FURTHER UPDATE: After months of being left outside, lugging stone around, mixing cement and generally being used and abused, this is still doing well. The pan did eventually split and i did have to drill it out and put in a couple of extra bolts, but it still does the job, so still giving this 5 stars.

As others have mentioned this is a wheelbarrow in a box from the Walsall Wheelbarrow company. Easy enough to put together, but be aware - despite my instructions showing a flat blade screw driver required and associated bolts, the bolts supplied were in fact T30 torx headed so you would need a torx driver to assemble! The pan is quite thin mild steel(?) so definitely won't stand up to prolonged hard labour moving hardcore or other heavy loads. Some of the paintwork on the handles was badly scratched (as mentioned by another reviewer) but frankly it will get a battering anyway so not a big deal! Finally the braces at the front of the pan were incorrectly shaped to provide a good flush fit to the pan so needed a bit of help. All that said, very happy with it for the price - will be fine for my needs.

The Wheelbarrow I ordered (and still advertised) is not a Bristol Easiload Wheelbarrow. It is a Walsall Wheelbarrow in a box. I was a little disappointed when it arrived as I avoided the Walsall due to the reviews not being great (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Walsall-Wheelbarrow-Company-ATBIABGALV-Galvanised/dp/B00ER7ZR00/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1447182492&sr=8-3&keywords=walsall+wheelbarrow). I needed a wheelbarrow that day so decided to give it a go. After about 30 minutes of use (following a tricky assembly due to parts and bolt holes not aligning (also in the reviews for the true wheelbarrow)), I knew I was going to have to send it back. It was nowhere near overloaded and it was flexing horribly making it very difficult to use even with far less than the stated maximum load, and the handle grips slip off.It's a shame. I wanted to like this wheelbarrow but it was so poor and I ended up buying a cheaper one from Wickes (Chillington £30) which is a bit smaller but very sturdy. In fact for the same price as the "Bristol" Easiload (note the quote marks) you can get a Chillington with a puncture proof tyre.Avoid this wheelbarrow and the one advertised with it's true name.If you're just moving light but bulky things, it would probably be fine but then, you don't need to spend this much money.I always read reviews and weigh up the good ones with the bad as there is almost always a bad review of every item but I hope people take note of this one.

Sat in its box for a few months as I didn't want the workmen/builders doing ourhouse renovation to use it and ruin it. Now put together, my husband says, quiteeasily. Its doing a fab job helping us move those heavy objects around the garden.It did tip over on its side the other day with compost bag in it,more my error in placing it down than anything and sadly gained a denton one side due to the weight but even given that, it looks good and I've washed some pebblesfrom our fountain out in Jeyes Fluid in it even leaving them in soak, the barrow has not been affected.A great work horse.

The only complaint I have is that the the handles I got did not fit into the frame. I had to re-drill the holes as they were miles off. While annoying and time consuming, once built the barrow is a solid replacement for the rusty wreck I had and is easy to push across the uneven contours of my garden, so scores well in my opinion.

This is an item which is boring to write about. It is just a wheel barrow. However it is a piece of garden equipment you cannot do without. This particular wheelbarrow feels well built and strong. The 80+kilos it holds is big enough for the largest garden. The rubber handles feel powerfull to hold. Yes a good buy.
