Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I wanted to love this Safeco Hide-Away Convertible Truck (at this writing have had for about 15 months), but it's needed more maintenance than an old car. Sure it looks good and works when you first get it, and if you use it twice a year, no problem (for 2 years anyway). I am a musician and I know how to make equipment last for years... I use the truck about 2-3 times a month and I do NOT overload it. I had to first replace the swiveling casters because they began to buckle under normal load, replaced with good American casters (they were of a light gauge steel and the bearings also fell out of them!) The various bolts on the truck, (and there are many, some of which cannot be accessed) have to be tightened often to maintain integrity. Then the locking-bar (which is used every time you open and close it) lost the end caps and became unusable until I finally found some metric replacements. The last problem which I cannot even fix because the bolts are not accessable, keeps the telescoping base from sliding closed, so it cannot be shortened to folding position. No kidding on any of this. The overall design idea is great, but it is poorly implemented, and for users who really need a workhorse of a hand truck, the Safeco Hideaway Folding Truck is one shoddy piece of gear. If the importers would like to send me an improved version for use and review, let me know! Until then, this review stands.
