    Default Wheel Dolly for $40

    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-10...eavy-duty.aspx

    Dale,

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

    Pixs and info here.

    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

    Besides, they don't roll in gravel real good

    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.

    Default Don't let the name fool you.

    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).

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