chinese barrow

[ridgeacre]

Anybody bought one of those Chinese made barrows (cheap copy of the Penrose),I bought one last week it goes back tomorrow.
Saw it made up in the shop, had a whirl thought not bad Ill have one, big mistake.The tube the handles are made with a mile smaller than the tube they are supposed to fit into and are thinner metal, the legs are the same its that flimsy when loaded it goes all directions,twists and turns at the slightest movement wont even stand up loaded if the ground is not perfectly flat, and the welding is a disgrace, its only tack welded.
As Ive said back it goes tomorrow.

BEEN BETTER OFF WITH AN OLD PRAM

That was my 1st outing this year where I haven't been battered both sides

Yes, my handles were beside the chair in the living room when I got home

there's always next time polepot the idea was to let you win so you could gain some confidence then next time it's our turn to win

[polepot]

Good thinking that, as long as we have a 'next time'
