The cart is strong and the wheels are great for sand. However as others noted, putting a surf rod in the rod holders results in the rod hitting the ground. To resolve this I got a longer replacement screw from Amazon \"Steel Socket Cap Screw, Black Oxide, Plain Finish, Internal Hex Drive, Meets DIN 912, 60mm Length, Fully Threaded, M5-0.8 Metric Coarse Threads (Pack of 100)\" More than I needed but Home Depot did not have anything. So the lower hold I replaced the screw with this and a washer. Now the rods stop at the bottom of the holder. The other adjustment is the long handle which is probably 5 inches too tall for someone of my 5'10\" hight. In this case I might just drill new holes and cut off a piece of the handle. It would have been nice to have it telescopic like what you find on luggage. To move it in a car or pickup, remove the wheels, which can easily be done in seconds.
