Because of limited space, many of my large tools must be somewhat mobile and finding affordable casters was a problem. I bought these to replace the 'Home Depot' locking casters on my router table. The old ones just didn't work well, were hard to lock and would rock back and forth. What a difference! These roll smoothly, lock up tight and are very easy to release. I was skeptical because of the low price (only a couple dollars more than the Home Depot ones) but am more than satisfied and will be buying another two sets for my thickness plainer and band saw. -- Gonna' get more of these!!
the rubber on the wheel is comperable to that of a rollerblade wheel. Better than the hard plastic you find on cheap office furniture. The construction is solid and the brake lever seems durable. Couple that with a $7 price tag and you have a great bargain. -- good quality, great price
These casters are just as described, durable, easy to operate, and are really strong. I installed them on a portable work table that I built, they are awesome. -- Excellent
I used 4 of these on a DIY mobile base for a 160 lb Ridgid Drill press. I really like how they lock in 2 places, the wheel and swivel. It locks and unlocks with ease. Can't remember the size of bolt I used, but just bring one with you to Lowes/HD. I had to mount them with the bolts coming up and the nuts screwed in on top, since the bolts I purchased were too long and prevented the wheels from swiveling. It actually works out great since the 4 bolt ends sticking up acts as a grip pad for my shoe when I'm trying to pull the drill press out of the corner.
Can't say anything else except it works exactly as advertised. -- Great Job
Decent caster for the money. Excellent if you aren't working near the weight limit. I bought them because of the value to mount on a router bench that needs to be solid but not too mobile so I got what I wanted. However, if I were to be moving this bench too much the wheels would bug me as they are kind of tight due to the weight. I would say the true weight limit for ideal functionality would be less than 1/2 of what is stated based on my experience. -- Not bad...
