I bought a steel wheelbarrow from Lowe's several years ago, the problem with it is that I leave it outside and one of the wood handles has almost rotted through. The steel has performed very well. I am rough on a wheelbarrow and the plastic ones just did not cut it for me. I think if I bought another one I would get fiberglass handles, or maybe just take better care of the wood handles. Mine is a rather large wheelbarrow and it will carry a heavy load, not sure that would be something you would want as the wheelbarrow itself is fairly heavy.
