Has anyone ever used these before? If so, are they worth it? Do they work well, meaning can the car be moved around easily or do you need Hulk Hogan's assistance?

Here are the ones on ebay I'm looking at:

I have a set of wheel dollies from Harbor Freight that are junk and I'm looking to get something much better. I like these b/c now I don't have to jack up the car to put these under. The only thing is I have to find some that fit a 10" tire as I have 275's on the rear.

Let me know if you guys think these are worth it or if you have personal experience with them. Thanks in advance.

They look just like Go-Jacks to me. We've borrowed a set and used them to rearrange our garage. They work awesome, but they're pricey.

Yeah, they are pricey but they might be well worth it. I have a lowered 69 camaro that is hard to get a jack under. These are nice cause if I want to put the car up on dollies I can just place the dolly and jack the car up onto them. Then from there if I need the car up on jack stands I'll have a few more inches to work with the jack under the car.

How did they roll for you? Was it pretty easy to move the car around?

I'm a Repoman by trade and I use Gojacks a few times a week to move cars around to my liking, personaly I wouldn't buy knock offs or the low weight rating version I have gone through a few cheap sets and finally just bought the Gojack brand 3500 pound set...there bad ass I can flip hummers around by myself, roll them down drive ways and through gutters no problem.

Thanks for the info. I've learned my lesson on buying cheap and spending more money to correct the problem.

I have that exact set. they are harbor freight stuff, by the way. They work great, i also upgraded from the old cheap skates. now I can move and spin a car all by myself in just a few minutes, versus jacking up a car, putting the skates under it, moving it, jacking back up to remove skates, etc. These are hydraulic versus the mechanical Go-Jacks, but I would rather save the bucks towards something else. if you use them day in and day out I'd go with the dependability of the Go-Jack brand. Also these are a little narrow if you have some realy wide rubber. they fit 275 width just fine, but don't know how much wider they will go.
