I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with these they seem pretty cool when the wife leaves for work just pull your car over to the center of the garage work on it. then when she comes home push it back on the wall. oh let me know what you guys think and here's a link in case some don't know what I'm talking about

They work, but it's not like you can push the car around with one finger like they make it seem. Other than that, definitely a neat thing to have if space is an issue!

they're pretty cool, and it's really not that hard to push around
better used when you have 2 car garage and one car is sitting, then you just push it as far over as possible

I have a near identical set from some ebay user named twicedone and they're like the others say: they good, but not great. They like to be moved in a rotation, not straight one direction and right back into the same direction.

But they work great for me when I put a car on the lift and cannot drive it out, so I drop it on the skates and put it onto the other side of the garage so I don't tie up my lift.

your better off buying them from pep boys or any other autoparts store to avoid the $30.00 shipping....or you can be cheap like me and use your jack/w wheels as a dolley.

We use them when we put cars in the shop, it has a single garage door but room for 4 cars. THrow the car on the wheels and move them where you want... too bad your floor has to be PERFECTLY smooth and nothing on it for them to be easily moved. Its easier than doing it with a jack, but not like they glide on ice or anything!

I can see myself trying to use those, then being pissed off when I lose control of it, the car goes out the garage, down the hill, and into a tree.

It would make for a pretty funny story. "I wrecked my car into a tree, and I wasn't even driving it."
