Preview: Mac’s Multi-Dolly
By Chuck Cage
Body workers know that there are two kinds of dollies: one kind has wheels and moves boxes and the other kind moves sheet metal. Mac’s new multi-dolly is the latter type, and offers three different faces — adding up to many various curves — in a compact hand-held package.
The big hole in the center is a “finger catch,” which makes the multi-dolly easy to hold in your hand. It includes a smoothing round face and curve, an awl-type dolly for creating internal conceves by hammering, a flat face with bent curve, an end curve, a spoon curve, and a small curve wedge dolly.
Obviously this won’t replace your hammer-style dollies, but it would definitely augment them, working in tight spaces and lessening multiple trips to the toolbox. The multi-dolly will ship in two sizes: mini (the BMD100) and standard (the BMD200). Contact Mac (or your local truck) for pricing.

“Body workers know that there are two kinds of dollies”
Actually there are three, the third being 2-legged and a different kind of body…but only us old farts know that term, I guess - not P.C.

Noticed a Harbor Freight version in their catalog which arrived in the mail yesterday.
