    That's my question too. :confused: I abuse mine by rolling it across the parking lot, over cracks in the pavement, etc and they squeak but have never broken. We also pick up heavy engines like 454's, 460's, 455's, etc. and I have used it to pick up the back of a car a few times.

    Look too small.
    I normally hit Harbor freight for small wheel stuff

    Now, with the picture, your problem is obvious. You didn't break the WHEEL. Ya broke the "cheesy" little caster assembly. DD

    I don't think mine had swivels out at the ends. I know it doesn't now. I rescessed fixed wheels up into the tubes so I could get under low vehicles.
