This hand truck serves me well in several ways making it a very worthwhile purchase.It's very sturdy and did well hauling the freezer up the stairs as well as helping me move furniture and boxes on several occasions.But its real value to me is that it can also be tipped down to function as a cart.I have a small log splitter that I love, but it's so low to the ground, it's hard on my back.I wanted a way to raise it up some without lifting it (too heavy for me).This cart is just right in that I can put a 3/4" piece of plywood on the bed to give it a solid and wider surface and still slip the toe-plate under the splitter's wheels.I move it to where I want it and tip it down so the splitter is now resting on the cart bed instead of the ground.This raises the splitter up enough that it's easier to use and is still very stable.I put a chuck under the truck's wheel although it doesn't seem inclined to move even when splitting the wood.
I'm sure there are other uses I will find for the cart too, but I'm very pleased with how it has served me so far, especially with the log splitter since I'd looked all over to find some way to raise it that I could manage alone.If you're in the market for a hand truck, you might as well get one that can serve multiple purposes.I can definitely recommend this one.
