Auto/Vehicle wheels dolly's...which are best?

You know those dolly's that go under each wheel so one guy can push the truck around in the shop! Which is the make of choice? I need a set and want to get some good ones.

Thanks!

Alex

I would try to find them local if you can to save shipping. Around here Tractor Supply has decent ones. They have steel wheels and ball bearings.

check out www.tireskate.com, this company is in TN.
Dolly's are one of the handiest items when working on an ongoing
project or in a small garage.

Thanks Chevybill, thanks guys...just ordered a set from Tire Skate. Got the set with ball bearing casters and came to $200 bucks with the shipping.

Lil' Red is going to be on skates for the remainder of her resto....and will reside at her new home...the GatorHyde Shop.

Make sure you cover her up so you don't get that purty red paint all dirty!

For those who have not seen Lil' Red....she is BEAUTIFUL!

Joe how are they holding up? Ihaven't had any luck with stuff from HF. Have you used them enough to know if they are built to last?
