Had mine for 3 years and still working very well... Only takes one person to move my 3500 lb Barracuda.... Not cheap but well worth the money. I opted for the upgraded casters...

We've had a set of HarborFreight dollys for 5 years at the shop ,and only had one issue.
The caster swivels are only staked onto the mounting plate and come loose with repeated use. A little squeeze in the vise and a weld instead of the stake and they're fine for most shops.

Got both sets for 39 bucks on sale. There is a visible difference between the 2 types as shown in the pic. The ones in the front have a longer wheelbase, but the ones in the back are somewhat lighter and easier to store, however the short ones may not work with wide tires as well. (because ob the cap covers on top) ![]()

Have a set of the Harbor Freight dollies. Like is said, lube the wheels occasionally, they work fine. Agree on the line about HF, some stuff is fine, other things, stay away from, use your judgement as to which is which. I was once once asked by a clerk why I wouldn't "purchase a warranty" on their products? Told him it was pretty simple, in most cases, the products were cheap enough, if they broke, I'd throw them in the scrap pile and come get another one! Has worked well for me, others mileage may vary.

I have the HF ones and they do fine. Look in Drag Racing Action HF normally has a fullpage add with lots of coupons.

Have had the Harbor Freight set for years and they work fine.
As a side note they make good furniture movers too, just keep them clean. JimR

Followup - I found a coupon in a Car Craft Mag and bought a pair from Harbor Freight for $39.99 a set. 50% off. I will try them later today. Thanks for the help. Dyno
