I gave mine away to a friend who needed one. Now he can store that useless heap of cheap assed metal until he finds someone to unload it upon. :D

Fucking rednecks use a wheelbarrow to mix their concrete in. Rent a freaking mixer for a real pour.

Well a real pour is actually going to use a cement truck. And lots of time they either don't have space or the ground is too soft to get it in place to pump or trough it. So wheelbarrows are the only way to get your mud in.

and who the fuck gets a mixer for 3 bags of quickrete...

(dad did concrete for about 4 years from 18-22, and uncle owns a concrete company)

I stamp this thread with approval!

EDIT: Everyone can see the stamp but you, OP, because you didn't earn it ;)

Isn't it glorious?

I'm surprised nobody has commented on the fact that the pictures only depict women using the "wheelbarrow." Usually it only takes three posts to get to the misogyny.

All kidding aside, if I ever had a single 20 lbs object made out of lead I guess this could come in handy. Otherwise, for actual useful things like sand, gravel, concrete, water, dirt, etc. that I would actually want to carry and not spill out when I set the damn thing down, I will use a real wheelbarrow.

I mean honestly, what the fuck happens when you want to set it down?

forget about this...only on a real garage forum these fly. You guys do it all.

uh, most car/biek guys I know laugh at keeping anything but projects and the tools needed to work on them in their garage.

sheds are where the lawn equipment go, do we have a shed forum in here?

can we start one??

If I found one of those in my garage I'd give it to the neighbor kids to push each other around in, and then go find me a real f'ing wheelbarrow!

Damn, I feel manly after that post! Whoops...felling gone already...*sigh*

Interesting concept, poor utility. It's like buying a Toyota and calling it a car.
