Review on πŸ”§ OTC Tools 1580 Stinger Easy Roller Dolly - 1,500 lb Capacity by Tony Wylie

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great to have one that works

I've ordered four of these. Two of the four devices were defective, although Revane was quick to replace them. I have yet to test two interchangeable units, but so far this is a poor start. Aside from that, they do what they have to do when you get work units. They allow me to push cars down the drive myself if needed. They are heavy, about 40 kg. and the grips are flimsy, uncomfortable to wear with wire-width grips, 40 pounds of palm pressure. The quality is a hair's breadth above port freight standards, but only a hair's breadth. Looks like kids (i.e. inexperienced) forged, welded and assembled it, which I think is possible. I think there is little difference between this brand and the red ones, I feel like they are all made in the same factory. On one of them I noticed that the hydraulic fluid fill port on the pump is positioned in such a way that it is impossible to check, fill or drain due to the angle at which they welded that particular pump to that particular jack/cart to open at all. They just didn't care, and it shows.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Hard to tell
