User Reviews
I purchased six of these to support a 7ft x 3ft work bench. Using these for the past three weeks I have no negative things about the product itself, an easy push gets them all moving in the right direction and into the new position. It is a little ackward locking the casters in place, but that is due to my bench design flaw, once locked it makes a solid plateform with very little movement. In hind sight I should have gotten the set with post mounting vice bolt on. I am pleased with the product! -- worthy caster
I have 6 of these on a DIY table saw mobile base. Work great. Table does not move at all when locked down. The wheel and the swivel lock wich is a feature I have only found on these. -- Awesome
I am pleased with the castors with the exception of stability. The locking system allows a little too much movement. I would still buy them anyway. -- Steelex Castors
This caster has a unique feature of locking both the rotation of the wheel and the swivel of the wheel. This results in more stability of the equipment supported when the caster is "locked". The setting and release of the brake is also especially easy. This feature along with the smooth operation of the caster itself make this a great value for the money. I highly recommend it. -- Woodstock H0693 brake is exceptional
I bought these casters to use on a lunmber cart in my garage/workshop. I bought them because I thought that the high profile wheel would deal with grit on the floor pretty well. I can't believe how bad they are. The "bearings" are so worthless that the casters physically grind as you spin them- even without any weight on them. Rortaion of the wheel is OK, but spinning the caster on it's axis is terrible. This is a case of you get what you pay for. I'll be buying replacements somewhere else.
The wheel itself seems to be the same material as a rollerblade wheel. That part ought to hold up OK. However, the bearings just aren't up to snuff. -- Bearings? We dont need no stinkin' bearings!
