Anyone using Tireskates car dollies?

Just looking for opinions on these. I don't want to buy the chinese junk ones as I'd rather have a set that will last.

Summit Racing has a set rated at 10K for about $175. They are American made, by Auto Dolly. I'm planning on getting a set after Christmas, for my project camaro.

Yeah there are a few out there. The ones I've been looking at are http://www.tireskate.com/ts.php and http://www.car-dolly.com/

But with shipping I'm thinking it might be cheaper for me to make my own.

Re: Anyone using Tireskates car dollies?

I use "Go-Jack's" I bought them from Matco tools a number of years ago and can say they have never let me down and I can't live without them. I have a small shop and sometimes need to spin cars around in circles to work on them. I can move a car in any direction with ease. They have 4 roller bearing swivel casters on all four corners so the car can be moved in any direction with one person, in many cases with one hand. This is not a great picture but it should give some idea what they look like and how they work.
