Upgraded Workbench caster kit - 4 Extra Heavy duty retractable casters, 600 lbs. weight capacity, Urethane wheels

Overall seems great, but guessing that 1000 lbs is a good upper limit. A few things to help the next folks after having installed 2 sets - 1 with wood legs, the other metal. I made a template to locate the holes, and that saved a lot of time (the metal legs were ~ 3" square with separate sets of holes on the opposite sides - so there were like 24holes to be drilled). The nuts that hold on the wheels need a 1/2" wrench, and if you use your bare hand to grab the circular plate you can get sufficient counter-torque and don't need a 2nd wrench (which would need to be very thin). For the wood leg installation I had, the pilot hole for the screws was 13/64". The screws were a bit cheap so the Philips driver kept popping out. Unloaded, the latch you depress sits ~6" high and for 2 of the casters in all my installations I had an obstruction ~8" off the ground. I can get my foot in there, but much shorter probably wouldn't have worked. Not surprisingly, it takes a pretty good push to engage the wheels (which was important to me, as due to the proximity of my walls, I'd had hopes that I could stretch under the table and depress the far ones from the front side, but that's not practical). I'm thinking about greasing the surface where the black metal foot pedal bears against the bright metal wheel mount. It seems like a fair amount of the depression resistance is due to that friction. With my heavier bench, it just barely lifts the bench (I might be overloading it, not sure). Finally, one of my black parts came preassembled incorrectly, but with wrenches it was an easy fix (after having to take it back off the table leg). And finally/finally, I think these are well built, and (without knowing the true weight of one of my loaded benches) they seem well suited for the loads they're designed for.

They are fairly solid for side mounted casters. A lot of people said they have issues with the threads stripping but I have not had that issue. My woodworking bench is around 500 lbs. The caster engage like they should. Only issue with movement is during change of direction where the wheel will swivel around and slightly catch the bottom corner of the leg it's lifting. Also if you move too fast a caster may disengage. Assembly was easy. Had to take off the lift lever to attach bracket with 5 in lag screws. They do not feel flimsy or cheap at all. Have realistic expectations about this, if you just need something to help you move a work bench around a bit then these work. If you want the bench to live on the wheels or be moved around all day there are probably better options out there but you will be paying more for them.

I ordered two sets for my shop. I adapted my old Sears table saw by building a wood frame to which the casters were attached. These replaced the original craftsman caster kit. I should have done this 20 years ago. So much easier to move the table saw to where I need it in the shop, and the flip-up-down design works well. The unit parts are strong. I opted to use 1/4 inch bolts to anchor through the wood bracing and giving a metal back bracing. No flex or shift. Previous review concern regards ball bearing spacing, for all the dust and dirt in my shop the past 40 plus years I have not had a problem with bearing type casters. These casters have been getting a work out with the spring projects crunch as well and look like a winner. I also installed these on my grinder/drill press table using wood cross brace, 1/4 inch bolts and metal backing plate attachment. This table with all the gear is over 300 pounds. These casters have made the unit mobile and enhanced the flexibility of the tools in the shop. Again the flip-up-down technology is easy to use,even with the weight factor. I am designing another tool table, and will incorporate these casters as well. Well built, good instructions, modifiable application and great performance. Upgrades on bolts and nuts noted from previous reviews.

So far these castors have worked great. They are easy to use and seem to be plenty strong for my loaded up work bench that probably weighs up to 300 lbs. I didn't have any issues with the included screws, although lag screws probably would be better. The included screws required a #3 Phillips bit to drive them and I used my impact driver to install them into 4"x4" wood legs with pilot holes and encountered no problems. Once a lever assembly was screwed into place, I attached the actual caster wheel assembly to the lever assembly by using a 16mm spanner wrench that was thin enough to hold the hex on top of the castor so that I could use another wrench to tighten down the nut. Installation might of been more difficult if I did not have the spanner wrench since a normal 16mm wrench was too thick to fit between the top of the castor the plate the castor mounts to while tightening the nut.

Poorly engineered, incorrect fixing instructions, Wheels Rub legs without additional packing

Easy to attach to the table and ast to use

These work great. good quality and overall very easy to install and use. i recommend these for sure

Used them for my welding bench work great

A few months ago I bought the "non extra heavy casters", same model but not extra heavy. After having installed these extra heavy casters and comparing them to the normal casters of the same model, I don't see much difference between the two types, exempt for the price. The extra heavy are more expensive but I question the "extra heavy" advertisement of being more sturdy then the normal casters of the same model.
