Oh man, I didn't buy the dolly because I couldn't find the battery cover.

I didn't appreciate how useful those furniture dollys are for moving heavy stuff around until I bought one.
And the small version is more useful, has more applications, than the larger one.
But stick to the wood ones. They're great, indestructible. Don't buy the 200 lb plastic one. I broke one the first time I used it. Swapped for a replacement, tested that one by standing on it (180 lbs), this broke it in half. Took it back for a refund. Went over and stepped on the display sample in the store, broke that one in half. Don't bother. Any of the thousand pound rated dollys should be ok.

I put my loader bucket on the larger size when I take it off the loader, can roll it out of the way in the barn.

X2.
And the grapple.
And the forks.
And the trailer mover.
And the milk crate full of tire chains.

I've got two, one for the bucket and one for the forks.

I have five. One for the drill press, one for the shop press, and one for the old chest of drawers we keep the Christmas decorations in. Plus a small one and large one for whatever comes up.

Oh and another four under the tires of my wife's old sports car so I can move it around easily.

I keep our 20T (orange) press on one of those wood dollies.
It makes working on long stock a lot easier, since I can easily move it into center of the garage, then quickly stow it when I'm done.
I'll have to see if I can get one of the pneumatic cylinders on sale - sounds like a worthwhile upgrade.
Very pleased with the blue paddle wheel angle grinder - it's been used a lot for 4 or 5 years.
The 2 ton long reach low profile floor jack has made working on the cars a lot easier - we had a Ford Focus that had a rear jack point that was way under the car.
