I bought these casters because we had tool stands that already had single holes in them, and I thought we could just put the shaft through the hole, secure it with a nut, and away we'd go. However, where the tool rests is on a fixed nut at the bottom of the shaft, so the tool is resting on a very small base that's actually quite high off the ground. This makes these casters unsuitable for really heavy tools, despite the fact that the casters themselves are very sturdy, and the shafts are strong. I would recommend buying the version that has a flat base that fastens on with several bolts, rather than this one. -- Good caster, but not too practical
I recently purchased a steel HDTV stand from a well known company. The optional set of four caster wheels, only two of which locked, was priced exceedingly high. The casters from Grizzly were perfect for this application. I installed four locking swivel casters and saved myself 80% by doing so. The locks engage and disengage so smoothly and easily, that I can do this in bare feet. Great deal, quality item. Grizzly saved me a real good chunk of change. -- Casting Call
I searched high and low for a set of quality casters with brakes at a reasonable price. These casters far exceeded my expectations. The brake mechanism is superior to the type of brake that is like a teeter tooter on the side. This mechanism is easy to operate to free and stop the wheels. I have the other type of brake which frequently engages itself. The ball bearings are great in the casters, and in the wheels. I am replacing existing wheels on my table saw, and adding them to new tool stands as I acquire new machines! I can't imagine finding better value and quality in one brand! I am also going to keep an extra set on hand...just in case! -- Grizley 3" Caster with brake
