    Harbor Freight Wheel Dollies

    Several of my viewers asked to see these in action, they make moving a dual axle so much easier!

    I wasn't a fan of these on my previous boat. They worked ok on the smooth surfaces but once you hit the rough concrete that was it. I have some if anyone is interested

    Yea that’s why I mentioned that towards the end, my garage is relatively smooth so they work perfect for me

    I have 2 that have been used 1 time. Boat would not fit in garage even with tongue folded.

    If someone local needs them I would sell 2 for the price of one.

    Work great on the big Sea Swirl, push it sideways to make room for the Nitro.

    I use 2 to spin my dual axle boat when I want to tuck it as close as possible to my support pole, works really well. My garage floor is smooth.

    I only have a single axle trailer with an 18 ft mod V but use them all the time to move the trailer around in my garage.

    The harbor Freight units absolutely don't work for me. I removed the wheels and greased everything and it still takes two men to move my 3,500 lb boat in my garage. I don't recommend them.

    yep, work the extra change if you’re going to use them. The smoother the concrete the better.

    Exactly, and they will fail soon also if used regularly. On this one buy the “Go Jacks” first time. It’s truly saving money over time.

    Now if you only need to move something twice a year, maybe get the Harbor Freight... maybe.

    Later added: we are 50% failure on Harbor Freight jacks. They (4) move 4,000 pounds appx. 20’ sideways on trailers. When jacking up the product we have split the bushings under the tires, we also have release/lock catches that jammed and presents itself as a safety issue.

    I've used my harbor freight jacks for last 3 years with no issues. I'd say it's more related to quality of floor, weight of boat and how much you really need to maneuver it. With HF return policy I would say always try them first and if they don't work for you take them back and get some go jacks.

    For the guys that say don’t buy the harbor freight ones, which brand are you referring to? The Pittsburgh automotive ones they sell or ??

    Thank you sir!...yea I’ve had no issues with my HF jacks at all, you can see in video how easily I can move boat by myself...and I use them somewhat frequently, definitely not a twice a year thing for me...haha...they also come with a year warranty (they did when I purchased them anyway) so if they do break in the first year they’ll replace them free of charge

    Have had a pair of HF jacks about 4-5 years and zero issues or complaints despite heavy use. Bought a 2nd pair last year as the new house has a trickier turn to get boat in the garage and wanted 4 jacks. No issues with those either.

    Can you spin the boat by just using two? If so, which two tires works best?
