Default aircraft positioner
Does anyone use something like this in their hangar?

Just trying to get an idea if they work ok on a typical "rough" concrete floor hangar, or are they only for the painted and polished luxury hangars?

Default Not sure about this one, but
The Harbor Freight ones worked well when we were "positioning" our RV-10 -- have used them several times on the -6A -- hangar floor is painted concrete, but certainly not smooth.

Would depend just how hard the castors are, I would think. You'll find the less flexible each wheel is, the more impact small debris on the floor will have.

We had a thread on this on the RecFlying forums just last week with a few suggestions.
