    Would you JB Weld this?

    So I got my cart and I tested it out over an uneven stone walkway with twigs and acorns and the 4" wheels did great.

    My only beef is the handles don't securely attach to the cart. Everything else is nice and tight. There is a location to grab to pull but I much rather just grab the handles.

    I have the clear epoxy JB Weld so it should go on without any discoloration, even though I wasn't really worried about that anyways.

    I don't know about J-B Weld, or as I like to call it liquid duct tape, it might work. Could you just put a small bolt through them?

      There is a hole for a screw, wood-like I presume, but nothing was included. Who knows what size.

      Screw it in there! That's my beef with that cart.

    I would use a small stainless screw sheet metal/wood screw type screw that would be available at any hardware-big box store, you would want to drill a proper size pilot screw. could be a small diameter bolt that goes all the was through.

    JB Weld will work, but if you ever think you want to take it apart in the future, a screw would be better.

      If your not gonna remove the handles I would use the epoxy you have. Using a screw will secure it but with a lot of use the screw holes will enlarge and it will become loose again.
      Now for an even better Permanent hold use both.

        Figures....Probably take 4+ trips to get the right crap.

        The weird thing is to attach it with the screw the handles have to go on before you put the top part on and then you're beating down on the handle to secure the top part.

            Glue (contact cement) all parts. Reassemble and secure with a sheet metal screw. Or drill a hole all the way through and use a bolt and nut.

          How about a pin style fastener that can be removed. Now I’m no plumber but that’s seems right to me.

            Hmmm, not following that on the "removal" part.

            Jerod Broussard Like a hand grenade, pull the pin and voila! Remove the handle. Put handle back and fasten with the pin.

            Boom, mind blown 🤯

          If that's the kind of cart it appears to be, and if you secure the handle and then try to lift it to get it over one of the bumps you describe, it will just come apart at one of the junctions between the shelves and the support tubes. We have some carts like that at our church, and they can be a real pain at times.

            I've already worked out the lifting aspect.

          #12
          I would go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and get some metal channel or small angle iron and bolt to both sides of the handle (front to back of the cart) then bolt a piece left to right connecting it. If that makes any sense

              Mission accomplished, for now. Epoxy one, leave the other one off so I can open the Cambro while still on the cart.

                I would make sure you pull the cart not push it unless you are on clean surface I used to deliver bread and one little rock or branch and your picking stuff up off the ground and its no fun trying to pot hamburger bun tops back on the bottoms in the parking lot of a burger king not that I would know I heard stories and I didn't inhale either
