My new RED WHEELS, left outside for 2 days, are NOW ORANGE WHEELS. (Apparently they do not hold up to Autumn UV)

I am not sure where to get grips like that BUT… There is a product that is a liquid which you can pour onto objects to form a handle.

Other than that… bike handles are at the bike store.
Handles can be found that fit your application.
Take one from one object and put on another?

I just acquired the Profi-King Plus from my deceased father-in-law’s work room… it appears it never has been used, but it has no instructions on how to mount or to use all the various attachments….Can anyone suggest where I may acquire any documents that may be available? Thanks

Flueri,
Getting the cotter pin off is simple with a pair of pliers.
Yes, I installed the red wheels and I have used my handtruck almost everyday since. I’m not sure if I getting weaker by the day but I’ve found it to be very helpful.

The coloring does not come off on the floor. I bought red, which seems like it would be better than black if it rubbed off but there’s no such worry.

The new wheels are perfect but they were pricey! I paid $40 through Amazon, yet the handtruck was that much to begin.

I checked my options and decided I liked the simplicity of this Harper Hand-Truck over a replacement model and bought the new wheels.
No worries, no complaints.

The color of the red wheels is more orange than red. – comic relief while carrying – my handtruck has red wheels.

One tire on my Harper hand truck (Lowe’s, HD, or warehouse club- not sure which) likewise blew apart after light use/just sitting around. Thanks for your input. This was a slightly different (P-single-handle) model, but likewise sold at a “budget” price.
Have you installed it yet? Does the color pigment of the solid tire stain your floors as you run your truck over them?
I, too, need to replace my tire, and have been looking around for best choices, as well as people sharing techniques. How do you remove the cotter pin that holds the wheel to the axle?
Thanks !

Has anyone used the Profi-king as a lathe? Thanks.

A favour please… I have the same compressor and have had troubles with the unloader valve. I have to press the on/off button to manually unload the unloader valve when the compressor reaches cut out pressure. Now I’m thinking it might be my on/off button. I’m wondering if there should be a spring connected to the bottom of the on/off button. I can send you a photo of what I mean.
Thanks, ann
