Oh My- You Could Lose A Finger With the Cosco Cart Dolly- Watch this video! 

I just purchased the Cosco Sifter XL Folding Hand Truck from Costco for $68. The base plate is larger and the handle extends. Worth the extra few dollars!! Thanks for the warning about the pinch points!

I love my cart. I use it in the cart option. I put a bin on it fit perfect, used zip ties in front and back to secure in place and also bought bungee cords to hold extra stuff on top of the empty bin to take trash to the dumpster at my apartment. Pressure wash it and leave it on the back porch. Bought mine at Sam's Club about a year ago.

Thank you. Have one of these for 3 years. Now I can finally fold it.

What a huge help. We were stuck until we saw you guys explain it in clear detail. Oh, and the warning regarding the closing saved a trip to the ER. Thank you

Thank you for this video! So glad I saw this video because I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to pull the handle up and I'm definitely one of the people who would have lost a finger. You are a life saver. Otherwise I love this cart now that I understand how to operate it properly. 👏🏽

I just bought one and searched for a video to show me how to use it. So glad this is the one I chose! I followed you and was really trying to pay close attention to the pinch points but low and behold, when I hit that "FOLD" button, my one finger was still in the way and it got snapped on! I wish I'd seen this video before purchasing, but I do love the entire concept of it and it's lightweight for women to use. Just have to keep your hands out of the way! Thank you for this video!

I bought this to deliver parcels. I love it. It's a learning curve to figure out how to get all the positions but that's to be expected with more functions than regular folding hand trucks and it gets easier after a few uses. Much sturdier than my coworker's Milwaukee hand truck.

Here I am thinking I was the only one; this thing was impossible at first. Bob and Brad ALL DAY!

You guys are delightful you grow on me! Thanks for the warning and the clear demonstration of the danger

First of all, thanks for making this video with all the warnings and a review. That helps a whole lot more than reading the small instructions. The new model, Cosco Sifter XL Folding Hand Truck, has some improvements. As Teri Takemoto already mentioned, the new model has the handle extension and a larger plate. I just want to point out that in the video, at 2:30, where you got your fingers pinched while unfolding, it is now covered by the larger plate. So, it is now a bit safer right there as long as you don't wrap your fingers around and under the plate. The back wheels are still the same size. Looks like I'll be replacing them like some others have done.

Thank you! I just got this .. it's 6am and I could not figure out from the directions how to unfold the thing. I appreciate it!

Thank you guys so much for sharing very informative and definitely saved me some fingers and a trip to the ER! Amazon needs to post this video if not already and pay you all this video is a real life saver!

Tank you guys . I just received my one . Luckily I watched your video how to open and fold it. Great instructions guys. Your instructions save my fingers.

Thanks for the video. I was able to fold my cart carefully!

Thank you for leaving this video up. It came in handy for this, that I recently received as a gift.

Thanks So Much For This Review/Instruction Fella's!

Thanks for the review; it probably saved me from future finger injuries!

Thank you so much. Mine arrived today and it's all black, which makes it even more confusing to know where to press. I used a magnifying glass to look at the instructions on the sides of the handle and that was useless. After I finally realized how to release the handle and open it, then I could not figure out how to close it. So I searched on RU-vid and your video came up right away. Very helpful. 🙂

Thank you, this video really help my family make an informed decision on whether to buy it!

Thank you!!!! This video was sooooo helpful!

I would recommend this to anyone

Awesome guys appreciate the demo

Ha, yes I struggled opening this one back up this morning and yes there are definite pinch points! Thanks for the video!

Thank you so much

I tell you what if i dont loose a finger ill give the designer a high 5 if not a high 4 but lets hope not. Those folding cart/dolly are fire specially if you replace the smaller tonka wheels that came with it with industrial grade 3" casters.

Very helpful.

Saved my life!

I love the cart. I’ve had no issue whatsoever with.

Thanks for the video. The directions on the side, as you said were useless. Opening the dolly is a snap now. Bob D.

Thanks you!! You saved my fingers!! And my frustration level! 😁

I love it. I give it 10!

I just opened up mine to close it I can understand how

Thx

Just pull up on the handle . I got pinched once. I also swapped the wheels to heavy duty swivel ones ... Very handy for a trade person . Just make sure you have it wedged in a safe place so it can't slide forward on sudden stop in your truck or car .. Thumbs up

Amazon just delivered this to my house. I’m so glad I found your video! I went straight to RU-vid and didn’t even try to look at the directions because I knew they’d be useless. Thank you so much for pointing out all those pinch points! I can injure myself just walking around, so this has definitely saved me from pulling out the first aid kit!😂🤣😂

Have you reviewed the NEW model? The comparative value would be appreciated. The SHIFTER XL.

I just got one and I’m checking vids online to make sure mine isn’t defective. I noticed it didn’t stand up straight at 90 degrees in dolly mode like a typical dolly would. Looks like yours is the same. Not sure if I like that because it seems less secure when boxes are stacked.

Use a Bungie to hold the box

I can't get the first step completed. In other words, the large wheels will not lock into position. They keep popping closed. We've used it before, closed it up but like I said, now the large wheels won't lock to an open position. Any suggestions?

its a great tool. Should've watched before I tried that FOLD button!!! Augh!

I finally unboxed mine after having it stored for months. I didn't know how to open it! The instructions printed on the stickers sucked!! Once I figured out that you have to push the wheels out, then everything started to come together. When I had to pack it back up, that was scary! The wheels quickly snap back in. Omg. So lucky my fingers weren't around there. I would have cried 😭

Watched your video and then proceeded to still get my fingers snapped on 😅😅😅

I want to know how to fix the small wheel, I can't remove it, it's ain't spinning, trying to remove it to remove hair and gunk but the bolt/screw just spins, can you give me an idea? Thanks

ANy documented fingers lost? Please update thanks

I just got it and the big wheels at the bottom will not go out or stay out I'm going to Hope that does video helps me

Work smarter, not harder!!! Use a broom handle to press the "fold" button--it's like wrestling with an alligator, lol!!! My major problem was how to fold the large front wheels, but after I discovered the "fold" button *that* was solved. Good luck, all!!! 😉 And YES, the instructions suck.... Thanks Brad and Alex! 🥰

Lol i hit my fingers just barely but I hit them, I have the newer style where the handle extends

The instructions are horrible so this Bob and Brad video helped a lot. 👍🏻😀 In all fairness though, it’s hard to have a folding hand truck…especially one so compact…without any pinch points. 🤷🏼‍♀️

11/9/23 Thank you so much for this video.

👍

Wife just bought this for me, pulled out of box & I said to myself be careful directions stink boy this could really screw up one of your fingers.

Hi Guys, Very nice video. Love your sense of humor and banter. I do believe you may have overkilled the pinch point problem... like every tool, a new user should take their time and completely familiarize themself with their new "tool." If you don't learn all the ins and outs of any new tool, and you hurt yourself, is it the tool's fault, or the user's fault??? Thanks for sharing the video!

When it is turned to a cart, the handle is too short from ground for a general adult.

I just looked at one of these at Target about an hour ago. I couldn't figure out how to begin to open it and I managed to cut the side of my hand and bleed (I've had worse). Said to my self, "Self, don't even be doing this (add a few expletives for effect)." Decided to look for a video on RU-vid. Hello?!, here you guys are. The small wheels are very poorly constructed, poorly machined, loose and floppy. Sorry, you couldn't give this thing to me, it's definitely a safety nightmare! I wouldn't trust myself with one of these because I play stringed instruments and I can't afford a roadie. 😜

I was so close to buy this crap , until i saw your video no thank you I will go with alternative product. I don't need chapping machine in my house. Thank you for honest video.

Are you 2 yrs old great cart

Thanks. The instructions that came with the dolly sucked

Looks more like a miniature version.

Hi, what's the real weight of this cart? Thanks.

It's $59.99 on Amazon now :-(

The pictures gave me a headache trying to figure it out lol

That same dolly is now $100

😂

Harem scarem lol

"Death Tool"? Dramatic much?

No, actually, YOU could lose a finger.

...you COULD...but not if you can READ and FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS...I bought one at Sam's Club for 60 bux...still have all my fingers...
