However, it is very dangerous to your fingers. Every operation is a trap to squeeze your fingers somewhere. I don't use it frequently, so every time, even reading the instructions on the label, I always smash a finger or two.
That being said, REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING:
- As you fold this flat, back into storage position, KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE LARGE WHEELS. They have springs on them, and snap violently back into place.
- The tiny front wheels are too tiny, and are made of cheap plastic. (I spent $22 at Home Depot for a replacement set.)

Update: THIS CART IS INDESTRUCTIBLE. BUY IT IMMEDIATELY.
The past few days' events require me to make an update here.
First, I reduce this product to 4 stars.
I mean, how hard should it be to remove a wheel? Just hold the outer part with a large spiral wrench and use a smaller spiral wrench to loosen the nut.
The first wheel came off just like that. Easy as pie. The second wheel... well, that was where things got interesting.
The nut was on so tight that the inner part of the wheel separated from the outer part, which I was holding in place with my wrench. It made no difference how I turned the nut: fast, slow, whatever. I tried using Loctite super glue and later E6000 to hold the parts together. I let them set for 24 hours. When I turned the wheel again, they broke immediately.
At this point I was pretty disappointed in the product. It came with front wheels that left something to be desired, but were also impossible to change. Booo. 4 stars, maybe even 3.
Eventually, I took it in to a hardware store. It was the events here that convinced me to restore my 5-star rating.
The first guy who tried to help was young-ish, maybe in his late 20s. I had brought in my two wrenches, so he tried the same as I did: Hold it with the larger, turn the nut with the smaller. He came to the same conclusion, and ended up deciding to use a handheld bolt-cutting saw. After 5 minutes of labor, he was ready to give up.
It was at that moment that a slightly older guy came by, maybe in his early 40s. He told the young guy to quit it with the handheld saw and tried himself with the two wrenches. He gave up quickly and went to get a screwdriver. He wedged the screwdriver in between the parts that were slipping and turned the bolt with the wrench and voila! the screwdriver slipped immediately. He tried 3, 4, 5 times with different positions, all with the same result.
"Man, that bolt is really on there! Are you sure you want it off?"
It was just then that a third guy came by. He took one look and said, "Why don't you just use a reciprocating saw? Cut right through the ball bearing."
A reciprocating saw. That's what they had to use on this cart.
One guy held the cart in place, another started up the saw, and the young guy stood there with a bottle of grease to lubricate the saw every few seconds.
It was joyful madness. I had somehow secured the full, undivided attention of three full-time, professional hardware store workers with the problem if taking a wheel off this folding cart.
The cart shook like an earthquake and the metal started smoking. After a few minutes, they stopped.
"Look at that! Look at those ball bearings!"
"They've barely got a scratch on them!"
"What kind of wheel is this?"
Needless to say, they gave up on cutting through the ball bearings. It was their fourth attempt that finally solved it: Forcing the blade of the reciprocating saw between the nut and washer, they cut straight down, removing the top piece of the bolt with the nut and washer. More smoke, more shaking, more noise. It was glorious.
"Are you sure you wanted this wheel off? Never seen anything like it."
In hindsight, maybe I made a mistake. Clearly, if these tiny front wheels were designed to withstand the combined efforts of three hardware workers for nearly half an hour, they can withstand just about anything life can throw at them.
Congratulations on your purchase of this very fine product.

So I move a lot. How much is a lot? Almost every year, like clockwork, I move to a different place. In the past, I have gotten friends to help me move all of my stuff, but living in general makes you accumulate things. And some boxes are too large or awkwardly shaped for my short arms to carry. At 5’3” and 120 pounds, I needed some serious help other than having to rely on other people’s schedules. I really did shop around a lot when I was looking for a cart. I looked at the ones that use 4 wheels only among many other brands. I chose this one based on its cost efficiency and amount of positive reviews, and sturdiness.
I usually use the four wheel cart, since I stack various sized boxes on it, but I’ve also used the hand truck for when I was tired of pulling around heavier loads. I use this cart several times a month, and it’s been instrumental for my storage unit as I put boxes in and out of it. I actually keep this cart/hand truck in my car every single day for when I want to move things around in my storage unit. I really couldn’t do any of that without this. I’ve taken several useful pictures of the boxload I’ve been able to put on it, which is pretty impressive. I’ll try to remember to post them later.
PROS:
-The double feature of using it as a cart (four wheels) or hand truck (two wheels) is awesome.
-Folds up flat enough I can wedge it behind boxes stacked in my car.
-Steel frame is heavy duty and durable, while remaining very leightweight.
-300 weight capacity has been more than enough for what I’ve used it for.
-Cost efficient, especially with the fact that you get two different configurations.
-Has a lip at the end of the four wheel cart that can help support and keep the boxes in place, or it can also be pushed down for larger boxes.
CONS:
-When tucking the wheels underneath, there’s a button you push and the wheels are supposed to go right up. Mine has never done that. They stick for a minute, making me have to shake the cart to close the wheels. On several occasions, I miscalculate where my fingers can safely be placed, and the wheels have shanked my fingers. I have cut myself this way multiple times, and I ever have a scar.
-The lip (not sure what to call that) at the bottom of the hand truck (two wheels) is very short, so it’s harder to put any kind of medium-larger sized boxes on there, even when you tilt it back.
-The wheels themselves are VERY short. The steps leading up to my apartment are taller than them, so I actually have to pick up the cart at each end whenever I go up the stairs. This is in the case of both the front and back wheels. If it were designed to be several inches taller, it would make this go from awesome to perfect.
-There isn’t any kind of brake system, so if you’re at a slight income, the cart WILL roll.
-There are holes in the bottom and around the handles, so boxes and objects that are slimmer than that opening have a tendency to slip out.
