Wheel dollies?

Has anyone any experience with car wheel dollies for moving their car in tight spaces? Pros/cons are they worth it, which ones etc. cheers.

i have both the cheap hard wheeled type made by sealey, and the expensive GO-Jacks, that are sold by snap-on

both ok on smooth terrain, the go jacks are slightly better on rougher surfaces as they have solid tyres and not hard nylon wheels

the sealey ones, you need to jack the car up with a separate jack to fit them under wheel, however that does allow you to get the car closer to a wall and remove them

the go jacks are self jacking, downside being you cant get close to a wall and remove them, or if you leeave them in place, then you do need a few more inches over the sealey ones, they also dont put up with going over their weight class too well, they bend out of shape (collapse), theres 3 weight classes, and the stand is sold separately when bought thru snap-on, and if you have a wide wheel on a light car, you need to go up a class or 2 for the wheel to fit on the rollers

Thanks Ray-i'd be after the standard type no need for the Gojacks.

Even if you plenty of space these things are very useful. Made a set of 4 myself. Buy length of tubing and 16 castor wheels plus an afternoons work. Cut the tubing to size bolted the ends together and welded them for increased strength. Replaced the small wheels on the photo for somewhat bigger ones.
