Still can't remove the wheel to do a brake job, and not nearly enough clearance to work on anything under the car, so what's the actual point? I'm open to explanation, I just don't get it as presented.
I feel like they’d have to be sturdier and would therefore be more expensive.Depending on the usage, I don’t know that the extra cost would be worth it.
Yeah, the amount of time it takes to do one wheel with this ghetto version makes you wonder if it's even worth the hassle at all. These don't even have castor wheels so all you can do is rock the car front and back.
The point of Go-Jacks or other car skates is that they're super quick and you can skate the wheel in any direction on the castor wheels.
wedgieweedless
can you steer the front wheels? if not, this has limited applications.
treboresque
yay! highway ready!

probably last longer than the rubber band spare tire most cars come with these days

Lotta trust in the welds of that device

This isn't new. They have ones that work much better that they use for moving cars in show rooms

If only cars had wheels..

I'd never put my car on wheels that don't have brakes.

Works fine until you hit the tiniest crack in the pavement.

I often wished for something like this while looking for a parking spot along the streets of Chicago. Just a little nudge forward or back.
NM156
Good idea for AWD cars and trucks, I guess.

Looks like a diy version of go jacks
Daisychain360
These are around a long time. I worked in a car park about 25 years ago and we used them to move people's cars around for fun.

Not sure'd I'd trust plastic casters?
clarkWhogotsanity
They already have those, they known as go jacks
dkpooba
I'd like it to use beefier metal bits.

Pretty sure this is already a thing. This is just a homemade version.

This is essentially the same as the dolly that tow trucks use daily
MrSnuffleupagus172
Now if you put swivel casters, you can push the car sideways, or spin it around…anyway…. https://a.co/d/caZYSy3

My friend doesn’t understand what this is for, can someone enlighten him?
UnluckyLunkhead
It's for pranking the boss by sliding his car between two columns so he can't go home.
hankrizldizl
I make a nickel, boss makes a dime, that’s why I trap him on company time?
womblemessiah
Ummm, caster wheels would let you push it without using the steering.
ChloeRed
And are normally called car skates *nods*

Yeah seen tow drivers use what you're describing

And those, unlike OP's, let you move the vehicle sideways.

Shitty Go-Jacks.

No caster wheels = pointless.

You know those little wheels on two trucks? That's exactly what those are.
