Review on OuYi Stem Casters Included OeCaster50_825 by Justin Early

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well made and strong M8

I bought these casters to put on the bottom of a horizontal filing cabinet (and after measuring carefully to make sure I got the right size). The cabinet had holes and adjustable legs but I just wanted it to be easy to move as it is heavy. I ordered them and they arrived in a nice sturdy bag along with some nuts to tighten. I was too lazy and didn't want to unload the entire closet so I used some levers to lift one side, add 2 casters, then the other side. Imagine my horror when I started lifting the other side and saw a corner of the sink cabinet. My first thought was that the reel shaft had buckled under the weight. Looking further, I saw that the hole the pulley was screwed into was actually just supported by thin sheet metal. On one side it was supported by a heavy block, and the other side was thin and flexible. So actually the casters were ok, it was just a poorly constructed cabinet. I was able to secure it under a thin sheet of metal with a piece of wood and it's fine, but kudos to the OuYi reels. for carrying a few hundred pounds of weight!

Pros
  • Metric Screw Thread (M8-1.25mm) is in Metric units, not English.
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
