Bought a new wheelbarrow today.
Looked at Ferretería Las Terenos first. 8,500 pesos on credit. 7,800 cash. (I thought that was illegal.)
Bought the same Truper Wheelbarrow for 6500 at Papeterra on credit.
It was pre-assembled but two of the 4 pan bolts stuck up 3/4". They would have caught a shovel every time you scooped from the pan.
There are square holes punched into to pan deck of the wheelbarrow and the pan head bolts have a square shank at the top so they don't spin when your tightening the bolts.
But the square holes punched by Truper were too small for the shank of the bolt to pass through.
It took me 45 minutes to disassemble the wheelbarrow so I could take a dremel and enlarge the holes.
OK Truper is a cheap brand from Brazil but isn't there quality control to check the size of there punched holes? Or are they made in China now?
Tired of crapola being sold here in DR.
