Product Information

Arrived on time. Lovely big product as discribed. Have given 4 stars because it had a few sharp edges when putting together so you have to be careful.Would buy again from this company. Very happy with this product I know it’s a hard thing to accept, especially if you have been active for most of your life, but we all need to make things easier for ourselves as we get older, and the Draper Expert Garden Caddy is an ideal product for reducing some of the strain that comes with gardening.

The only real thing that was annoying about this wheelbarrow was that the instructions didn’t explain the assembly process properly, and some of the nuts were a bit fiddly to tighten up properly. It wasn’t anything life-ending, just a bit of a pain in the you-know-what. All being said, this is a very good two-wheeled wheelbarrow and definitely worth a look. Pros Usage: Catering to gardeners, DIY enthusiasts, and professionals alike, the Excel wheelbarrow stands as an indispensable tool for everyone. A perfect partner for Excel cement mixer range. If the tray of the wheelbarrow is filled unevenly, it will no doubt wobble and make it harder for you to keep it steady when you lift and move it, and this usually ends up with the whole thing tipping over. Again, taking smaller loads can help, but ensuring that any load is well spread out and balanced is the best thing to do, and if you have to put more weight in one place, have it towards the front. Another very minor flaw that, again, is common to this kind of wheelbarrow is that it is very difficult, if not impossible to tip all of the contents of the tub out at once. There will always be a little bit of soil, sand, etc. still in there that you’ll have to help on its way with a shovel or similar.So, in the end, I settled on this Crazy Gadget wheelbarrow. With dimensions of113D x 60W x 53H centimetres, it’s big enough to be practical and useful without being overly large. It can also hold up to 65 litres which, although not as impressive as the 90 litre DJM wheelbarrow, is still pretty good. A great option for people looking for an affordable wheelbarrow to use in their garden, but that can handle the odd heavy-duty task, is this one from DJM. Sporting a sturdy steel frame and metal tub, it is both durable and able to handle heavier loads. There are a few ways of looking at size though. Firstly, there are the actual dimensions of the wheelbarrow- height, width, etc. and these are obviously very important when you think about storage space in the garage, getting the barrow in and out of the shed door and through gates, and just generally manoeuvring it around. Trying to deftly move a huge wheelbarrow around a very small and narrow garden isn’t going to be fun, so you might want something smaller like the Crazy gadget model. After giving it a lot of thought, I figured that I’d choose something that was big enough to handle medium sized loads, but not so big that it wouldn’t fit in the greenhouse. Then I thought about people whose greenhouses or sheds are already full, and that would mean leaving the wheelbarrow outside, so being weather resistant was another factor. Some of the others came close but there were little things that let them down for this specific purpose. For example, the Walsall galvanised wheelbarrow had the dimensions but I wasn’t keen on the puncture-proof wheel as I’ve found that they tend to make the cement move around when you hit a bump in the ground, and some of the others we tested had those annoying bolts standing proud.

If you’ve already shopped around a little bit for your wheelbarrow, you will have noticed that there is no standard size. When searching online, the size of a wheelbarrow is usually right there in the description as it is thought of as one of the main things people want to know, and rightly so. They’ve also done a decent job with making this wheelbarrow easy to tip, something that many two-wheeled models struggle with. I think the ease of tipping is to do with the angle of the tub in relation to the handles, and while this will be perfectly fine for most people, if you are very tall, you might find that the front-end tips forward too much as you lift the handles higher, and this will limit how much you can shift without spillage. We gave the Walsall Wheelbarrows, 85 litre, galvanised model our vote as the best one out there for builders due to the right combination of maximum possible load, manoeuvrability, and hardiness. Another thing to look out for when it comes to wheels, is the quality of the bearings used, as this will directly affect the performance of the wheels. Not only do good bearings ensure a smooth roll, but it can also affect the durability of the wheels, especially under heavier loads. What can I use a wheelbarrow for?Now, I have to admit that making sharp turns with this barrow isn’t as easy as with single wheeled models like the Walsall, DJM, Crazy Gadget, and Draper wheelbarrows, but I have to say that Oypla have done a decent job at making this pretty agile. You’re not going to be shifting huge loads of materials or equipment with the Garden Caddy like you can with larger models such as the DJM heavy duty wheelbarrow, but it can manage up to 40kg, which I think is enough for most casual gardeners. The deep tub and high sides are also great for holding long handled tools, like spades and rakes, in place, and you can throw a load of dead leaves or weeds in there too.
