I belong to the "inside track" club which is supposed to give you their best price. Wrong, my price is 89.99. I won't be renewing this. I may use this coupon and pick these up though.

From everything I've read the bearings should be greased ( hopefully the wheels have bearings, if not, I won't be buying them ), the upper bearings in the swivel part probably should be greased also.

How hard is the lifting action? It still seems pricey for HF. Even with the coupon you would be into $250 for all four, assuming some sales tax.

GoJak dollies go for $800, maybe more.

A little update, I just ordered two of the dollies. If they work as I hope I'll order two more, I'll give a review once I get them (probably take 7 to 10 days to get them here).

I want to thank jlh92] for posting the super coupon also.

The lowest price you'll ever find for any HF item will not be in the store, ads online, or circulars. I'm an inside track member too, and those prices are low, but often not the best price.

The lowest price out there is usually found in magazines. Hit up the car magazines, home improvement, etc. I keep a folder in my vehicle that holds all the ads when I go into the store so I have multiple coupons at different prices for the same item.

Dark Age, I bought 4 of these about a month ago and I will tell you I am glad I didn't spend the money on the name brand units. These are the Sh*t. Best $300 I have ever spent. You will not be disappointed. **EDIT** I put some white lithium grease on the caster swivel bearings of each wheel, but I don't think you really need to as they roll/swivel like BUTTA, even with a 3000# car on them. :thumbup:

Do yourself a favor and buy them in four separate transactions. That way they will let you use the coupons on each one to save 20% on each or 25% if you have one of those.

they lift really easy and go back down easy as well. I am very impressed and glad I didn't waste the extra money buying the Go Jacks. I was able to pick them up in the store closest to me.

the wheels do not have bearings, but I can attest that you will not know the difference.

Kinda confused about greasing bearings, in your earlier post you said that you greased the bearings.

Do have the old style (red) or new the style that are gray dollies?

You actually don't even need to be an inside track member to use those coupons. You can view the coupons at http://www.hfqpdb.com and they accept them without asking for any proof of membership. The above site is an AWESOME resource for finding a coupon, if available, for what you are considering buying. They also always have the latest % off single item coupons. Just save them to your phone and give the cashier the number when you are at the register.

Anyone try "double up" on discount by using the $59 price then trying to get another 20% or 25% coupon on top of that ??

I could stomach around $50 a piece net cost, or $200 for the whole set.

I meant to say the caster bearings as the wheels just ride on an axle with no bearings.
They are the new grey dollies. I moved a complete 65 mustang and a complete 67 mustang around on them. It takes a little budge to get it to move but once all the wheels are moving the same way it rolls easy. Just make sure you jack hem high enough to get the car tire off the ground so they don drag. You can position a complete car yourself on these. I would not hesitate to buy them again if needed.

Even at $79 with the 20% coupon they are worth it. I'd gladly pay full price if I had to. :thumbup:

You can't combine another coupon with a super coupon.

That *****, they make it sound like the axles have bearings.....common sense would tell anyone the caster would have bearings.

If they don't work properly I'll be contacting them, hopefully they will do there job. BTW, I bought them mainly to move a 2010 Camaro SS around.

I'll look at them tomorrow, but I'm 99% sure they don't have bearings.

I've go a little '26 Ford Lakes Modified roadster,that I'm building. I've got it almost fully assembled now and need to move it to my big shop. Needless to say I can't easily get
it out of the small shop because it needs to turn 90º before it will go through the door.
I didn't want to spend big$ for wheel dollies, so I bought 4 HF small furniture dollies.
each dolly is rated at 1000lb. so one tire will sit in each dolly so I'll be able to turn it
in its own length. I used 4 20% off coupons, did 4 purchases and saved $7.20 on
$40.00 total. $7.80 ea. is a lot better than the real thing.

^ ^ This is low cost alternative. I'm thinking I'll go with hybrid method and get 2 of the cheap furniture dollys and put those on side of car that is not accessible (near wall) and get 2 of the above $59 real car dolly lifts. That would put me at $135 for set of "hybrid" dolly setup. ;)

Repeat Request - Does anyone happen to have a current coupon for these animals??

I worked on car commercials and running footage packages for years and there was not a single time the car prep crew brought out these little magic carpets called GoJaks that I was not salivating with envy and lusting after my neighbor's tools.... but they were simply cost prohibitive for as seldom as I would use them. Even as low as $100 each doesn't quite justify the toy in the tool - But $60ish each certainly would justify the tool in the toy.

The urgency in my current need is not my car but my chopper. I have the HF motorcycle lift which has always been fantastic. But my chopper rides reeeaaalllly low and I don't have the clearance to get the lift under the frame unless I first ride up on a couple of cribbing blocks first. But now that it isn't running, I've discovered that I'm too darn old, too darn fat, and that stinkin chopper is too darn heavy for this old fart to roll it up as far as it needs to go. But with one of these and some cribbing wood - np, even if I have to go a few "layers" AND these would also make it a cinch to move the Street Glides around getting those extra precious inches that make the difference between a car door clearing and one of those "Really? Are you serious right now" moments of self condemnation knowing how stupid I'm gonna feel every time I see that scratch/ding.

I bought two pairs of the new gray versions of those a year or two back and honestly wish I'd have just ponied up for Go-Jacks. I had Go-Jacks on my wrecker 10 years ago and beat the snot out of them in cities getting cars out of tight parking spaces, they're dam durable. The HF version is like pretty much everything else in HF - they work ok if you're really careful but I wouldnt recommend dropping/slamming them around or using them much on rough, uneven, or cracked concrete. I've tweaked and unbent mine several times, and also replaced several casters as the wheels are cheap ****. If you're an occasional hobbyist you might never have an issue but if you're planning to keep them long term I'd recommend something better.

I bought 4 of those a while back with the $59 coupon plus $6.99 to ship (4) good deal.
The actual plastic wheels have no bearings, the swivel above does have ball bearings, which I greased. Been using them under a project car which always seems in the way :)
Don't really have any complaints, but I note the there is a lot of plastic parts which tend to deteriorate over time. They're in the garage so out of the sun light.
