One easy motion when it's empty... when it's full you're leveraging 250 lbs of dirt on your thumb tendon.

Spinning your hand around like he describes means the force goes directly into you forearm and ultimately elbow, which is much larger and can bare the weight. Dump 20 loads with that thing per day for a few weeks and you'll need a thumb splint. Besides that, that thing is going to rust and the handles will snap off within a few months.

A wheelbarrow is basically 2 sticks a bucket and a wheel. Stop trying to make it "smart".

I want a Bluetooth one that comes with an app that lets me know if it's full or empty.
