Default Car Dolly recommendation?

Can someone recommend a set of high quality car dollys? I am buying them for a mechanic friend of mine who is helping me with my car. Quality is my biggest discriminator.

Here are three that I found:

Ecklers: http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...dept%5Fid=1098

Ecklers: http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...dept%5Fid=1095

Corvette Central / Part #: 101894

Tireskate: http://www.tireskate.com/index.htm

As always thanks for your advice...

Steve

I have seen dollys that are the jaw type. With these guys you had a foot pump that closed the jaws around the tire and lifted it up off the ground to move the car. They worked great but I don't remember the name of them, houstonvett

Ecklers price is way out of line, you can buy those at Northern tool or Harbor Freight for $49 pair on sale, $79 regular price. I have the first set in your thread, but must be honest they aren't the best quality but they will do the job. Depends on much weight you are moving around the and how smooth the floor is.

I think the Tireskates are pretty good but haven't used them my self.
