Wheel Dolly for $40

[dale farley]

Has anyone used the wheel dolly that Northern Tools sells for $40? The description says it has a load capacity of 150 which sounds light for our tires, but the next higher capacity one costs 3-4 times more. If this one works, I am thinking it would be worth the $40 for the added maneuverability it offers.

I also a 300 lb capacity one for $138. http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/p-10849-otc-5096a-easy-lever-wheel-dolly-heavy-duty.aspx

Dale,

On advice from Jon I purchased a wheel Dolly and it so easy the mangoettes could've removed the wheel.

Mike,

That is the same one I was considering purchasing, so I guess if you or Jon haven't bent yours, the dolly must be sufficient for our tires. Thanks.

We don't need no stinking wheel dollies:eek:

Besides, they don't roll in gravel real good:rolleyes:

All joking aside, that is a great tool if you have a place to store it.

Mike, did you buy the X-12 plus wrench. If not which one did you buy.

When you use the torque multiplier do you use a torque wrench for your tightening to specifications.
I think with the torque multiplier you could easily use an 1/2" drive impact wrench on bus air. What do you say?

Seriously Joe, it looks like it would be easier to store than a sheet of plywood.

Jim,


I do own the X-12 wrench. No air drive necessary as I just use the ratchet handle and go at it. Not exceedingly quick, but it works great. When torquing down you use a factor of 10 to get the right specs. (With this in mind you would think they would call it the x-10 wrench).

Roadrunner: Jons Dolly is yellow and works great, I ordered one and my came in with big boobs!, I mean red paint. It works better than his, wouldn,t change tires with out it.:cool:

[dale farley]

I guess I'll order one. If I have it., maybe I won't ever have to remove another tire.
