these allow you to access a good deal more floor space in a crowded garage, one person can easily push a car in any dirrection accross the floor with little effort, and theres no need to leave room to access the doors simply because the cars easily moved when access becomes necessary

Welders mole grips, all shapes and sizes just hold it all in place whilst you stick it together with that other fine invention...........the mig welder:2thumbs: not forgetting the light reactive welding head screen, top bit of kit.

All good things to have - DO NOT pull an engine without a load balancer. (I found this out the hard way ) Also, with those ratcheting wrenches - buy them locally if you can; I had to try 4 of the 5 styles available from sears before I found the ones that didn't suck. It's hard to explain why some aren't that good, but try a set in a tight space and you'll find out how good they are.

Question about those wheel dollys, are the little casters sturdy enough to roll a car outside on, less than perfect but not too bad asphalt???

 

It would be nice for pushing disabled car in and out of our shop while we wait for parts, I'm just tired of pushing cars with a floor jack that sinks in the asphalt and breaking my back.

 

Thanks.
