These are high quality reels, the best I have found in the last three years. The bracket/frame is much stronger than a regular reel. I have attached a photo of my previous reel and the new reel. My old skates got stuck in the vine frame when turning, but not these. They are very durable, won't scratch hardwood floors, and slide easily over concrete driveways. I had a Β£275 assistant loan me my creepers and the reels still rolled smoothly. A tip is to lubricate them with CRC lube with PTFE, which will make them quiet and glide like a magic carpet.
