Damage ? ... how so ??


When you push the car and the casters don't pivot correctly and your car hits the wall or even worse another car.


But if this equipment does not operate as advertised- you simply TAKE THEM BACK for a refund


Not me. That hazmat suit is stuffy and hot. I'd just give them away to one of my West Virginia friends and go back to using a floorjack like I've done for 40 years.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Back from the shop .... sold a biggy tool box combo.

I took apart one box of the skates .... quite honestly- I’m pleased.

The caster swivel action .... I’m not overjoyed... but I genuinely believe that with good grease injected in there it should be fine.

NO WAY would I ever try packing grease in there with my fingers... that would give the word MESSY new meaning !

BTW ...I bought a Hobo manual grease gun some time ago .... that thing works great.

And I did get a flashlight with it ... BEFORE those apimp from Pennsylvania cleaned the store out !

When you push the car and the casters don't pivot correctly and your car hits the wall or even worse another car.


So which is it, are they too hard to push, or do they roll too easily? With mine at least, you push the car into something it's your fault because the things won't roll on their own on a flat floor.

You need to pay attention to what's going on, and not use them on an incline. In other words, use your head for something beside a place to store a hat.

Grease them, oil them, glass smooth floor, they still suck if the car is heavy, especially if it sits on them for 6 months. The wheels are cheap junk, which is what I paid for. They work well for moving an empty shell of a car. There are 2 versions of wheels, some are flat, some are a little rounded...flat roll even harder.
