not yet, but will buy some of those eventually. They probably aren't strong enough to leave the machine on them forever, but they look ideal for moving, especially for working on the game.
 
Yep, they work great. I typically have them on the back legs, I lift the front and slide the back around on the wheely triangle things. Works great and that way you only need two of them.

They are easy to get in place, lift game slightly, position wheely triangle with your foot. Done.
 
They are good to have if your moving a machine from room to room or working on a machine
 
They are great as long as you have level concrete and not trying to go threw grass. Me and a friend had a Popeye on these *it's a wide body* and had hell because the driveway was slopped/sloaped*however it's spelled*!
 
I've use these and the wooden ones. I found the the metal\plastic\whatever the hell they are made out of bend real easy and become deformed then..you're left with them not rolling and wheels not touching the ground

I have broken a wooden one also..split right down the middle

They do get caught in cracks and such but $ for $..they're not bad.

I would recommended buying at least one extra one either way...I think the wooden ones perform a bit better than the other.

I use them all the time but like others have said they're only really useful on flat ground. Any kind of resistance and the game leg can jump off the roller. In a pinch I've strapped them on with a ratchet strap but I still wouldn't want to go over very bumpy ground. The wheels are too small.
 
Finally got to use them...worked great! Using only two worked well enough but I put all 4 on so it can be pulled away from the door if need be. They roll pretty good!
