> 3 dayMost of my car repair tools are in a Craftsman 26 inch triple-stack toolbox. As much as I want a 72 toolbox, the Craftsman is all I really need now that I work only at home. But I still have a lot of stuff in it, and even more stuff hanging off the sides of it. Its pretty heavy, and while the factory casters rolled well, only 2 of them swiveled. Getting the box into tight spaces was a chore. I bought these because they all swivel, they have a combined weight rating of 1800 lbs (450 apiece) and they have a brake to keep my toolbox from rolling down the road and onto the highway. Installation was a snap. I was able to use the factory mounting holes and hardware. I had to space them out a bit so that they would clear the lip on the bottom of the box but that was easily accomplished with a few shims. Overall they work well. It isnt easy getting a tall, heavy toolbox to roll or swivel. The polyurethane wheels make it a bit harder because they deform slightly with the weight and have higher friction when trying to swivel. The factory rigid plastic wheels rolled more smoothly so theres a tradeoff for the extra maneuverability. Its certainly easier to maneuver the box around corners and into tight spots, and thats what I wanted so Ill live with the extra effort required to get the Tower O Tools rolling. So far the casters havent developed any flat spots despite being stationary for weeks at a time. Im pretty happy with them and may get a set for another tool chest that I have. The brake works well and the casters dont mark up the floor as they roll. Overall, these are probably as good as it gets unless I pay a lot of money for a set of very heavy duty casters.

> 3 dayThis is a mig/tig cart. Total load. 125 lbs= 250 cf Argon 125 lbs= 250 cf 75/25 Argon/CO2 130 lbs= metal frame ( being generous) 175 lbs= tool box. (Again generous) I lifted of the truck by myself. 10 lbs= Casters 555 lbs= total weight. No tools or welding machines ot yet. Now that you know yhe weight. According to the manufacture they should have a total weight carrying capacity of 1600 pounds. All the above weight should be able to be carried by two Casters and still have 255 lbs of available capacity. Yhe weight above was partially being carried by all four Casters but mainly by two giving a 80/20? load distribution. Now with all that being stated the caster did hold the weight without fail. Durability and rolling would the failure point. The one bearing in the wheel is a SINGLE shielded non sealed bearing with 7 balls. So at any one time there are only three balls max sharing weight load. Well technically two balls max can share the load at one time. Anyway the bearing balls are to large for heavy weights. This also going to cause the bearing to fail due to metal fatigue under heavy weight. With light weights it would last until the plastic wheel failed or the non sealed bearing gummed up with trash. Wheel construction. The entire wheel is plastic with a bearing pressed into the center. The plastic seems soft. With light weights (maybe 350 lbs. Each max evenly distributed) the wheel should hold up for a few years. But the soft plastic will fail over time due stretch and compression. The Polyurethane outer part of the wheel seems to be a soft compound as well. This is going to cause rolling issues due to the wheel having a flat spot when not rolling. Now the good. The brake locks to the wheel very well and also locks to the swivle. So when the the brake is applied it does not swivle while locked. So conclusion, this is not a caster for heavy weights. I would not use this for anything above 300 lbs total load. Single nonsealed bearing is subpair. The frame and swivle seems to be on pair with others I have looked at. So good luck it may work for your needs but in no way for mine.

Greater than one weekThey arrived quickly, good shipping. They seem pretty sturdy, time will tell. They installed easily w/ heavy hardware provided. I replaced smaller wheels that had the bearings knocked out of them. These are much more heavy duty, Im hoping they last a long time.

> 3 dayThey are very strong. I was surprised. I did not expect them to be so strong and performant

Greater than one weekIve got about 500lb of Rhino blade sitting on a dolly with 3 of these casters. It rolls okay, but the casters will not change direction worth a darn. They look good, and seem fine, and might do okay with maybe 100lb per caster--but thats it. I have to kick the casters around to point the dolly in a new direction, then it rolls fine on the concrete pad.

> 3 dayWas sceptical when ordering but when arrived quality was amazing and I used them on 3x6 welding bench made out of 3/8 plate steel cant believe how easy it rolls and locks 5 stars

> 3 dayPurchased these Casters for use on my workbench. Makes it extremally easy to move the workbench where needed and best of all the locks keep it in place when needed. I do a lot of woodworking and these casters have held up great. Overall an excellent product.

> 3 dayHave these set up on my table saw base, super simple to move saw around the shop now. No issues with the locking mechanism so far but that is one area that I am somewhat concerned about. Will update if anything fails prematurely.
