Review on National Hardware N179 820 4005BC Smooth: Enhancing Safety and Efficiency in Your Projects by Greg Bloom

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fits but not very straight

I wish I had checked the big department stores. Revain is double the price and I had to wait for delivery. The stem fits my 3/4 top mount well after deburring the tip, but isn't as straight as I'd hoped. It wobbled noticeably even when I was spinning it at around 60 rpm. I have to spin it at 300rpm and am afraid it will tear the bearing at that speed. It's my fault for not reading the description more carefully of what it's supposed to be used for (vans, carts, etc.).

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Upgrades
