These have seemed like a good idea for "one of these days"
I clicked on the video & I'm sold. They may even help prevent tire spotting?
These could be a good Christmas idea.
Oh, Item # 148811

They're OK. I bought 4 of the same type for moving a car to park it in an inaccessible by driving space..One under each wheel and you can spin the car at a 90 degree turn but does take some effort because of the small iron wheels on the dolly. Be sure to keep the wheels and axles on the dolly well greased. If I were to do it again, would have got a heavier dolly so the extra $ the heavy duty costs might be worth it on a Packard.

If it matters, HarborFreight has what appears to be the identical item #67511 and #61283 on sale for $10 less. Difference appears to be in the wheels and HF has gone to a different surface wheel since I bought mine . If the Northern item has iron wheels, probably more rugged but iron does leave a mark on concrete.

If the curve fits the wheel it might help with spotting but it is a fairly large curve.

I bought a set of 4 similar ones for my Pacakrd and they were virtually useless, in fact one of them bent under the weight. They might have been OK for a snowmobile or even. Small car but for a car the size of a Packard make sure the wheels are big.

I got these under my 400.

They are very strong and I have no issue with the product itself. However, my dad and I could not move a complete car. Once the engine was out I had no problem but we had to use a come-along to pull it into place.
