Review on Enhance Mobility: POWERTEC 17000 Workbench Caster Pack for Easy Workspace Maneuverability by Mark Jefferson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, glad I bought it.

This product works great. I bought these casters to easily move a 30 year old Craftsman radial hand saw around my garage. The craftsman no longer makes rolls for this saw. Powertec reels are very well constructed with thick machined steel, ball bearing pivots and high quality hard composite wheels. They were easy to mount to the metal frame legs that support the saw and I was able to easily enlarge the mounting holes with a slightly larger drill bit to use heavier bolts for the installation. I had to deal with the angle of the saw legs as they aren't vertical and the rollers won't work properly unless they're on a surface that isn't perpendicular to the ground. This was easily overcome with a couple of thumb washers on the top screw between the pivot plate and the saw leg. They are easy to use for both elevator and decency. The rollers roll smoothly across the floor, making the miter saw easy to move, position, and quickly (albeit manually) realign. worth your money.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
