Default Re: What Car Skates work best?

I have a trick for you guys with the cheap HF skates. I have 4 sets of them as well as an expensive set of GoJacks that I got at an estate sale (for a lot less then the new price). I love the GoJacks because no floor jack is involved.
IF you take a little time and take each HF castor apart and take the axle out and put grease on the axle and in the sleeve it rolls in and in the bore of the wheel you will be happy with the result. I was about to pitch the first set of those I bought thinking it was just the small wheels but there is zero lubrication in where it needs it the most and on a smooth floor, after putting grease (not oil) on them they move almost as easy as the GoJacks that have larger diameter wheels. Give that a try, really makes a difference. All my cars can be spun around by myself now.
