Ive been using those grey HF dollies for almost 10 years now, ungreased but will do that for next time, they work surprisingly well moving full drive train cars like 2nd gen TA's, also used the older beefier HF ones that had the metal wheel casters, the newer ones seem to work/roll quite a bit easier.
I do have a pretty smooth floor in my garage which helps but have let friends use them on older rough floors & they still work good for what they are, of course there are better ones but they cost 2-5 times as much.
After borrowing them, my friend with a early 80's Chevy truck bought a set & he keeps the truck on them year round so he can swing it around when needed to get access to other things in a smaller garage, I thought for sure the poly wheels would get damaged or have flat spots... they still roll & look like new after 2 years. For the price & hobbyist type use, they work very good and are definitely not worthless in my experiences.
