    Roger is right, unless you're some kind of gorilla and your floor is smoother then glass I doubt you'll move the car by yourself.. Like any tools they're an investment not an expense----buy the good stuff and avoid a lot of disappointment......

    I have just wheeled dollies and when I got them I had to know which surface they were going to be used on. They made 2 different type of wheels, one for concrete, which are steel wheels and ones for painted floors which are composite wheels. I have a concrete floor so went with steel.

    Wow, HF must have sold a million of those orange wheel dollies! I bought 4 of them so I could be sure that my wife's car could get back in the garage to its "rightful" spot after I finished my session for the day.

    Don is right about the occasional hammer tap and green is also right about moving in circles...But they were economical and did the job. But throughout two different builds over 8 years I always had to move the car alone. Not easy, but doable!

    However I do like the idea of the furniture dollies...
    ...at least I'm enjoying the ride!
