SPACEKEEPERWorkbench Casters kit 660 Lbs - Retractable Casters Heavy Duty Bench Caster Wheels Designed for Workbenches Machinery & Tables, 4 Pack

I have a large cement-floored barn. I had some extra kitchen/dining room tables that I wanted to use as worktables instead of letting them just sit disassembled gathering dust. But I wanted to keep the floorspace of the barn easily re-configurable since I do oil changes and other vehicle maintenance in the building and need to be able to quickly clear floor space.For the first table, I used some old, but high-quality metal-framed-with-bearing office chair casters. They work and they were free, so I am just going to keep using them. But for the second table, I ordered these.The better relative usability and suitability is clearly evident. The first table with the re-purposed casters rolls but is hesitant to move and I can’t let it down on the legs.These roll much easier, and I can let the table down on the legs for extra stability if needed.Installation was simple enough. As others have mentioned, there may be a slight learning curve with your first caster as the instructions (or rather lack thereof) are unclear. But after learning and seeing the process, it is easy enough.The included fasteners are of decent quality. I pre-drilled all the holes and none of the screws stripped out when installed with an impact driver. But I’ve had enough experience with these types of products to see that if you did not pre-drill, these would almost certainly strip out.The included “disposable wrenches” are actually of quite high quality. I had an entire workbench full of wrenches and sockets sitting 6 feet away during installation and I just kept using the included “disposable” tools. Sometimes tools like that are terrible but in this case they are excellent for this specific application.After installation, I tested both tables rolling up and onto some thin carpet. The re-purposed casters struggled. These did so easily.

I constructed a heavy duty lathe workbench from Fir 4 x 4s and 2 x 4s plus two layers of 3/4” MDF for the top. I selected the Model 3000 Premium Workbench Casters primarily for their retractability, weight capacity of 660 lbs heavy duty construction and designed around 2.5” wide legs or greater.The Casters were easy to assemble but I would recommend assembling one first to understand the design. Included with the parts were two wrenches for tightening nuts & bolts however I also used a metric socket set as well.The Easy-Install Template is a snap to use and accurate. I used Frogtape to draw center lines and hold Template in place on the legs because the legs were finished. Since my 4 x 4 legs actually measured 3.5” sq. I was able to use the 4 corner holes. With Template in place I used a center punch to locate the holes precisely through the Template.The Wood Screws included with the Workbench Casters were a disappointment. The Phillips heads were easy to cam-out despite a new driver bit and clutch setting of the drill driver. I opted for a heavier #10 x 1.5” Drill Screw with 5/16” Hex Head and continued driving screws with nut driver bit.I found it much easier to attach the Leg Mounting Plate to the bench leg first, drive in the screws and then assemble the remaining caster parts because the 5/16”Hex Head required more space between the Pedal Bracket Assembly and Leg Mounting Plate. Your choice.The Movable Pedal of the Workbench Caster has a cam like bottom edge that exerts considerable force on the Wheel Mounting Plate when pushing down to elevate workbench. I noticed a metallic rubbing sound on one caster assembly. I applied a fine bead of white grease to the bottom edge of the Movable Pedal to lubricate that mating surface.The Model 3000 Premium Workbench Casters are well made, function exactly as designed and compliment my lathe bench. The completed workbench and lathe weigh in at 256 lbs well within the capacity of the casters. It’s possible for me to elevate the workbench and move it away from wall for cleaning.

I picked up this 4-pack of casters back in December for $34.84 to make my heavy workbench mobile. My bench comes in around 200–250 pounds fully loaded, and these have no problem supporting the weight and keeping things stable.One of the best parts is how easily they retract when I have the bench where I want it. Then when I need to move it, I can just re-engage the casters, and I’m rolling again. Installation was simple — they include a template, which helped a lot. That said, I did end up shifting the mounting position slightly past the recommended spot to better fit my bench setup, and it worked out great.Only real con is that it takes a bit of effort to get the bench moving exactly in the direction I want — especially if I’m working in a tight space. Usually, I just walk around to the other side and guide it from there, and it’s no big deal.For the price and what these can handle, I’d say they’re absolutely worth it. Makes the workbench much more functional without compromising stability.

We got this for a 4x2 patio raised garden (from Amazon) for the back porch after we had already planted. I was worried that the bracket might be a little large and the provided screws wouldn’t be ideal for the softer wood but seems to be ok as long as I didn’t over tighten. Rolls smooth even on the rough outside concrete. Easy enough for the wife to handle by herself and very sturdy (though helps that there is a sturdy bottom shelf on the bed to keep the legs from shaking). Install was straight forward and the template has a huge help. Instructions are the greatest but very easy to figure out.

These casters work great. The included tools are knuckle-busters so use your own 10mm wrenches and sockets if you have them. It will go faster anyway. There's an included template that is really useful.Instructions could be better. The pedal assembly doesn't represent the parts for this set. Be sure to position the silver part of the pedal assembly with the edges pointed up.
