Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have both the Mack Sports Beachcomber and the Sandusky Beach Wagon. The Beachcomber has wider and taller wheels. Each wheel is 4.25" wide and 10" tall. This is equal to more than five Sandusky wheels which are 3.25 wide and 8 inches tall. The Sandusky wheels have deep slots that hold sand, while the Beachcombers slots are shallow and don't hold nearly as much sand. We really noticed the difference when we loaded them in the car. The handle on the Beachcomber has a lock to hold it extended, the Sandusky just slides closed when released, very sloppy. The handle on the Sandusky seems stronger than the Beachcomber's handle and I believe the Sandusky handle will last longer. The pivot point on the Sandusky is heavier duty compared to the Beachcomber. The Beachcomber handle pulls from the axle and pulls the wheels out of the sand while the Sandusky digs into the sand. The Beachcomber is easier to steer and is easier to pull than the Sandusky both on concrete and in the sand. The frame on the Sandusky is ticker than on the Beachcomber but the Beachcomber's fit and finish are better than the almost homemade look of the Sandusky frame. As for strength they both will hold more than they state. I am 243 pounds I got in both wagons and my wife, who is half my weight, pulled me with no problem on concrete with both wagons. She was able to pull me threw sand a little in the Beachcomber but could not pull me threw the same sand with the Sandusky. I believe the larger tires on the Beachcomber helped a lot in the sand. They are both noisy on the concrete. The Sandusky, in the box, weighed 33 pounds while the Beachcomber weighed 28 pounds. That is five extra pounds of steel on the Sandusky, that can be looked at as a plus or a minus. While the Sandusky is built stronger my favorite is the Beachcomber. It is easier to pull in the sand, and it steers better. We take a lot of gear down to the beach, looks like we are moving, and we can load the Beachcomber with double the weight and it is still easier to pull than the Sandusky. I was able to purchase the Beachcomber for $95 with free shipping on another site using my store credit card while the Sandusky was $99 with free shipping.
