Default Wheel jack dolly

Does anyone use something like this in their garage for maneuvering their cars?

They are used to jack up the wheels so that you can move the car anywhere you wish.

If so, where did you get them, and what did you pay for them, if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks, Ed

Generally speaking the higher quality ones ($$$) work great. The el cheapo ones that come from places like Harbor Freight....not so well.

How about the solid ones, without the jack mechanism. - You lift each wheel with a floor jack and place the little dolly / 4 wheels under each tire, then you can roll the car around, assuming that you have a smooth floor. -- Much cheaper. - I bought mine at a yard sale, but they are available at places like Harbor Freight etc. -- --
