Great little cart

I purchased this cart for my wife who is a teacher. She has to bring allot of papers and projects home for grading, and this is the perfect cart. It's light, easy to steer, and the wheels roll great of all surfaces. It also folds up nicely for putting the trunk, and is well made. I strongly recommend...

Lasted all of ten minutes

I purchased this to help my wife with a delivery at her school. I loaded it with 145lbs boxes (food service boxes, weights marked clearly on the outside), and as I turned the corner to take the boxes into the storage area, the plastic frame around the wheel collapsed. 

The hand cart might be ok for...

The Magna Cart is GREAT, HANDY, Best Gift we have bought in long time. This was a life saver at Christmas time putting away all those boxes full of Christmas ornaments and bringing in fire wood from out side is such a back saver. The price was one of reasons we bought it and it's easy folding for storage, very light weight easy to handle, I would recommend this to all my friends. Sears has a reputation for quality and durability, I have plans to buy more and give as gifts to friends and family.

I got this for work so that I can carry all my tools with me everywhere I go. I've only had this for about 3 weeks and so far it is still working pretty well. So I can't say anything yet about durability. Only thing I wish it had is a lip so that whatever I placed will not slide out in the front. But as long as you secure everything properly with bungee cords it should be OK.

The folding Magna Cart, Personal Hand Truck is a perfect size for storing in your vehicle's trunk or hatch. You can easily and intuitively open this cart to full size - no special directions to read or follow. I found adding a few elastic bungie cords a great addition to this purchase. This is a cart designed to be compact and light-weight, if your job requires a heavy duty cart, buy a heavy duty cart for the job. If you want something that folds away and makes your life easier when hauling up to 150#, this is your cart.

I shopped for a small, all-purpose household cart in several stores before going to Sears specifically to buy this Magna cart. The fold-away wheels and easy storage are the cart's best feature.

I use this to cart a fairly heavy bass amplifier to and from gigs.  I love how easy it is to open and close... can't miss the red squeeze handle (not red in photos on this site, but in real life).  Also folds back up really quickly, and it's small and efficient.  Not a lot to say about something so simple... it does its job and seems plenty sturdy.

I purchased this hand truck to use in moving boxes and other heavy items from a storage building to my new apartment.  It worked really well because I could fold it and slide into my car, where it took up very little space.  My apartment is out in the country so I don't have nice sidewalks.  The hand truck worked very well in transporting the boxes over uneven ground.

I am a 60 year old woman with a history of back problems and this hand truck has been a life-saver for me.  It is so easy to use, is light weight, but very sturdy and well made.  It folds up so that I can store it easily.  I...

The Magna Cart is a convenient way to move heavy items such as cases of printer paper,cases of bottled water,12 packs of drinks etc. The metal base and rubber covered wheels fold away for easy storage in your car. It is lightweight but sturdy.It can be a great help when moving your son or daughter to a dorm or an apartment.Anywhere you have to walk long distances with luggage or groceries,laptop,party supplies,setting up a party at a hall, the magna cart will do the heavy lifting for you. It can hold 150 pounds and the handle can extend to 39".I was looking to spend $30 dollars on a hand truck...

Sturdy and easy to use

I bought this one because it looked a lot stronger than the old cheap one I had and I was right. Ok dont try to load a refrigerator with it. Great for lots of boxes to the post office. Fits in the trunk or back seat very easily. Folds and extends easily. Have had this one for about six months with regular usage and no problems.

Works great!

VERY functional especially for band equipment, also conveniently closes up to take along without taking up room!

small and tough

This little device folds away and fits anywhere but is tough as nails.  I put some big, heavy pieces of furniture on it and it was good to go.  Has big wheels for easy use.

Great little cart.

Good things do come in small packages, this cart stores into small places but can carry my weight.  My twin boys loved this, their took it all around the house, even the cat got a free ride.
