Good cart… for now.
October 26, 2021
I’ve played three full rounds with this push cart, and here’s what I can tell you:
Pros: the metal frame components all are extremely solid, it folds and unfolds simply and extremely easy when you place your foot over the front wheel, the weight isn’t too much to push for a hilly 18, great storage compartments, and the cost was more than fair.
Cons: these are my biggest issues… There’s about an inch and a half to two inch drop on the handle when locked, meaning I can lift the handle up about two inches from where I locked it in place.
I’m on my third round when a noticeable squeaking started in the rear right wheel. It became progressively worse as I went on. At the turn I asked maintenance for WD-40, it helped for a hole or two but the squeak returned.
It’s LONG, like driving a boat long. Don’t try using it without the front wheel unlocked and free to swivel.
Overall, you’re going to get what you pay for, and I’m not sure if the tolerances I’m experiencing are normal or not. My fear is premature failure because of the movement and tightness in the different parts.
Do I regret the purchase? Yes, but only because my expectations were high after reading so many positive reviews. This cart is comparable to the 5-10 year old Bag Boy carts my club has.
That said Rock Bottom did an amazing job shipping and everything was as described, I’m just a little disappointed with the actual product.
