Good product on casters

Easy to install except for one thing. The supplied screws are very soft. I removed 3 while installing them. I just bought better screws and now it's great. Thanks to them, the rollers are very easy to install and remove. I think I'll buy a few more kits and put all my gear in.

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Some difficulties

A great option for wheels for a workbench!

I am building another workbench for my workshop. Since I'm limited in space, I need everything in motion. I really like the PowerTec rollers but they are a bit pricey to put everything on. They offer a secure and flexible quick release mount so you only need one set of more expensive reels and they work great.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Obsolete

Wasted potential and waste of money.

They were recommended along with the Spacecare caster kits I have installed and have been very happy with, but these brackets I was about to install today are nowhere near the size of the caster kits and from I am now past my return deadline. I classify this as misleading advertising. If they were right I would give them a 5. Maybe they are often bought together, but I think that means that customers are often annoyed.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Out of date

Okay, but check the installation height.

Works great. Now I can move the casters from the workbench to the tool stand. It's made of decently thick metal and holds the roller securely in place. Four starts only because when installed according to the instructions (4" from the bottom of the leg to the top mounting hole) the casters will raise the bench, maybe a few millimeters. It's enough to move, but just further a perfectly flat Ground. I adjusted it to 3 and 3/4" and now it works fine.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Speed

Ideal for moving heavy cabinets, work areas, etc. around the store!

Quick Release Workbench Casters Attaches easily to workbenches and other workstation cabinets and is great to add casters to move these items around as needed. The only issue I had was that the included screws for attaching the panels to the workbench had round heads instead of conical heads. This made fitting the rollers into the recesses on the panels very difficult at best as these screws do not sink into the panel. I had to buy extra screws instead of wood screws to attach the panels, so…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Minor Issues

Nice plate, lousy hardware

The design of these plates is fantastic, allowing you to use an expensive set of leveling casters for multiple items in a shop or shed. Very quick, easy and convenient assembly and disassembly of rollers. The fit of the rollers in the plates is a bit loose but works great and the play also means the rollers slide in and out very easily (put a washer in there if that bothers you). But the included mounting hardware is junk. After pre-drilling and adjusting the torque on the drill, the heads came

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick guide

Easy to install and fantastic work.

I'm very cheap so buying this set of casters and platters to roll my "project table" around the store got me thinking. Looking back, I should have bought it years ago. I bought the casters and an extra set of 4 caster plates which allowed me to put the plates on the first bank and then on the second bank so the casters could be moved from one bank to another. The wheels are big enough not to be stopped by small objects, they roll perfectly. My benches are about 200# each and the reels handle it

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
