I've got a Haemmerlin contractors 90l wheelbarrow, my dad got me it about 12 years ago.
It's been used and abused, done loads of work at Stainburn, usually kept outside and it's still going strong.

Until I Googled them just now I didn't realise how pricey they were!

I can categorically report that of the last few I bought the ones from Focus in Yeadon wre sh!te. Thin, weedy, bendy things the best part of £50 (IIRC). There's a little DIY shop opposite and the one from there is much better though still nothing special.

Whilst I think I've found shovel heaven the search for decent barrows continues ......
