what material is the drive roll carriage made from, and how would you rate its quality?

Well none of this is Miller, etc., but it's quite impressive for the price. I'm not sure if you mean the internal wire drives or the spool gun internals, so I'll answer both this way --about thirty (or more) spools of Al through the spool gun with no issue, and maybe 80, 10 pound rolls through the welder drives without problem. One thing is I switched to the larger spools (only possible with the welder, not the spool gun) and by so doing I have adjusted the tension spring once, because the larger rolls will go on/off the adapter without removing it, so you aren't messing with the tension system as you do with the small rolls --besides being a lot less expensive and lasting way longer (time between spool changes). Hope that helped.

It is smooth rolls on a dime. Very well constructed, not cheaply made. Very sturdy.

Unless I got shorted, It is a plastic housing with steel drive wheels. I will post a picture with my review.

plastic but still a fairly sturdy chassis. The shell will be the least of your problems though.

It's pretty durable and light weight. It rolls well on harder surfaces. It is good for short period transport only.

It is made of MDF. It is quite well made -- solid construction and does not rattle, etc. A good buy at this price, though you might wish to swap out the speakers which I find muddy.

I have a Winsome Wood sofa table and bookcase, and this cart is made of higher quality materials. It is also a lot sturdier than Winsome Wood items. This cart uses screws and bolts - Winsome Wood uses 'locks' that turn - and have to be re-tightened. If i had to do over - I would have bought all Home Styles items and skipped the Winsome Wood items.

It rolls but there is a lot of drag from the drivetrain. I wouldn't want to use it with out power.

The wheels are plastic but they are VERY sturdy. We load our cart to the max with beach gear and have no problems with the wheels. The cart is well designed and constructed and we are well pleased with our purchase.

The wheels are made of a very hard, thick, durable plastic.I have never had an issue with the wheels and we use it quite often! (About 3-5 times a week during sping/summer)The only "complaint" I have is that, while it is a BG wagon, it clearly shows 2 children sitting comfortably in it, but I guarantee they will be stepping on each others feet and there knees will be touching if they are 2+. I only have one child so it has only been an issue twice when I was walking my friends child and my son. This may not even be an issue for you, but I figured I'd give that info. Besides that, I absolutely love it. The wheels are made of a very hard, thick, durable plastic.I have never had an issue with the wheels and we use it quite often!

The driveshaft is aluminum and the axle shafts (dogbones) are steel.Other than that, a good portion of the suspension is plastic.I haven't had any breakage problems though over a year of ownership and moderate abuse.

The Car Was Sold not to Long ago, But I am not Sure What was the Main Material of the Wheels? I Think Alloy ? But That is Just a Guess .All I Know is That The Wheels were Beautiful and I had a lot of Compliments on them and they sure Made the Mercedes Stand Out :-) I am Sorry But That is all I know about Them :-) Take Care !

The wheels are hard plastic, but it doesn't bother me. The cart is very sturdy, especially compared to the cheap all-plastic shopping carts out there. My son pushes it around the tile floor as well as on carpeting... No issues with the wheels. I didn't even know they were once made with rubber.

That's kind of a trick question. Technically it may hold upward of 80 lbs but the plastic is so brittle that it can break/shatter holding much less weight. I would avoid this carriage at all costs because the quality is not there. If you can't depend on it working, why buy it?

It's plastic, but very high qualty . The detail and paint job is on par with that of a diecast model.

Most of it is plastic....I have had no issues with breakage, I was concerned a little with the top thread spool holder. Suppose it would be more of an issue if you are transporting it frequently, but mine is a sit around and no issues.

The hubs and mounts on mine are plastic, or some sort of resin. When I first got the unit I thought it would be too light to do the job I needed it for, but after these many months of use I love the cart and wouldn't do without it.
