Does anyone know how it works in sand?

With my 12 ft. SOT the wide tires work fine on the hard pack along Florida's Atlantic, and in shallow loose pack. If it is in loose pack where the wheels sink more than about 3 inches, I think you would want something with larger diameter wheels.

In very loose and fine sand, you must be in a position to pull and not push and even then, wider tires would help. Of course, being close to the load limit doesn't help either. (I transport a heavy canoe, trolling motor, big marine battery, wood oars, water bottles life facquets, etc...). But it does the job after all.

It's fairly dusty, and you would spend a LOT of $ to get enough for a sandbox. So, no. Check at Home Depot or look up play sand in a search engine.

I use an auger exactly like this with a cordless drill to set umbrellas in the sand. Even in soft sand where some of the material falls into the hole, it works fine. I drill the hole, insert the umbrella shaft and work it in, and then I pour some water around it to firm put he sand. It works like a charm. I borrowed this idea after seeing the 'beach boy workers" in Florida setting up rental umbrellas using this method.

yes. But this is not a good product. Mine came with a bunch of air inside which makes the sand get trapped and not work.

I haven't tried it on sand yet, but I have taken it over some bumpy surfaces and grates/etc and has done very well/very smooth!

Hi...I don't believe it would roll well in sand. We use it at the park, and it works well rolling on hard surfaces from what I can tell.

No electronic equipment holds up well to sand. Sand can get in the USB and sound jack. I think it can also find its way through the speaker cover. I treat it like a phone...no water and no sand.

Yes! I had the same experience. I thought about contacting the manufacturer, but wondered if mine was just a fluke. It may be because it's unprocessed? It's almost like sand.

Mine does the same thing. You have to prop up heavy units around the base. We made two rice socks and have them bracing around the base. This would work with sand too.

It does not pull good in beach sand. I hate mine. On solid ground or street its great

I have tried this and it works, but the courser the sand the better. I also have mixed it with salt.

I took mine on saltwater beaches about 2 moths ago in Florida. The detector worked very well in dry sand but as soon as you step foot on wet sand, the detector gives a bunch of false signals. I found that if you turn the detector off and back on again, it will do a little better, but you have to discriminate out iron, foil, tab, and nickel for it to give no false signals.

I can't speak for the others. I put mine in a sand car and it works great, good quality workmanship. Hope that helps.

No Karen, we did not use it on the sand. However, like anything else on wheels it would be ok on wet sand but I think it would be difficult on dry, loose sand. We did love ours, but we only used it on pavement and grass. It is strudy. If your dog is heavy, as ours was it could be hard. Think of a wheelchair on the sand. I hope that is helpful.

It works great for snow and even some ice. I have not tried it in sand yet but I think it would work just fine.

I have had good luck with this in sand, it's not loose sand but it pulls very easily in my soil.

Yes! I have mine in my backyard. We also take it with us on vac to mtns. Have never tried it in the sand. It's a great set for the price.
