I purchased 8 of these for the shop,(above) they make moving my cars around far easier, a simple shove in any dirrection moves the car once they are put in place, and no matter how large your floor space you find that moving a car can be necessary at times and if your like me, theres a good chance at least one of the cars your working on can,t be driven at any time.

BTW
I borrowed some like these to test, THE HARBOR FREIGHT VERSION OF THE WHEEL DOLLY(BELOW)
DON,T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY, THERES NO COMPARISON, these ARE in my opinion,JUNK COMPARED TO THE ONES ABOVE, as they flex far too much and the wheels don,t seem to roll as easily

SOME of these appear to be a decent cheap option

slide around the wheels and jack the car up or down , without need of a seperate floor jack,like the HF dollies require, plus they roll far easier than the HF dollies did, yes theres a price differance, but the extra features and ease of use make it a no-brainer if the budget allows

WE all have character flaws ,my tendency to buy nice TOOLS for the shop rather than PARTS for my cars is one reason my projects take extra time, but in the long run I keep getting a nicer shop with better tools which tends to make the project go smoother, I probably could have easily completed my corvette projects long ago if I didn,t build the garage and buy all the tools in it, but then ...I would not have the garage and all the tools in it,which adds a good deal to my enjoyment of the hobby
 
the more I use these wheel dollies in the shop to move the cars around that IM not currently working on the more IVE come to appreciate how usefull they are. you have a car up on the dollies and if you need more room its just a simple careful, push away.
IF you look closely you see a set on the silver vette in this old photo
