Review on πŸ”© Steelex D2613 3 Inch Threaded Polyurethane: Durable and Versatile for All Applications by Jerimiah Augustine

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good size balance bike with great features.

I bought four of these casters to move the drill cabinet. Light load for these roles. The cabinet has chrome plated tubular steel legs for which I machined aluminum dowels that fit into the legs, D&T'ed for M12-1.75 x 28mm studs on casters. Every wheel in the garage, it rolls over concrete joints or cracks, hoses, cables, etc. The size of the wheel is important, especially with heavy loads, in order to minimize rolling resistance, so size matters! Wheels also help roll easily. 2) Dual action brake that stops wheel and pivot spinning with a slight movement of the brake lever. I have also replaced the existing casters on my gear with this braking system which is another standard feature on a Caster setup.3) The price matches all of these characteristics.4) Yes, "Other Consumer" review, where the thickness of the metal is commented on. I also don't like Chinese goods (I've been there 6 times) but this comment isn't fair. the thickness of the metal is measured and found to be 0.110 inches. The thickness of the cast metal on my 22 year old 4 foot Kennedy Rollout tool box (which is very heavily loaded) is .120 inch which was made in the USA. 0.010 inch No significant difference. The screw is .308" and the Kennedy screw is .312". Again, a negligible difference. The average person or do-it-yourselfer tends to remodel things and their perception is distorted when evaluating. It takes an engineer to fully understand the load points and part dimensions.
