So for transparency, I am a mild hoarder And do trash pick from time to time. I have never bought a wheelbarrow, but I have five of them. It amazes me how this comes to be. People throw them out because they have rotten handles, a rusty bed, or, in the case of my blue Jackson, were cleaning out and it was curbside brand new with a flat tire. I have a grey Brentwood dually that as discarded for rotted handles, “frankenbarrow “ had a rotted bed and handles, but the bed was a really thick gauge metal, so street sign patches went in with sheet metal screws, and d handles came from a broken wheelbarrow on the side of the road that looked like it fell off a landscapers truck. “Patina” had rotted handles got metal Kobalt handles from Lowe’s and we are back in business! Love that the old Home Depot price is still visible $89.99 it must be pretty old for a true temper to go for that cheap. Finally there’s the green guy- given to me by a coworker who I helped move, she didn’t want to take it with her. It has the light gauge bed, wood handles that don’t have much longer to live, and a tiny front wheel/ tire mint, but clearly the lightest duty wheelbarrow true temper made at the time.
