SPACEKEEPER Workbench Casters kit 660 Lbs- Retractable Casters, 4 Pack

Pretty easy to install. Mounting hardware is included so it’s fairly self explanatory. Casters work smoothly and I think will hold up over time. I’m using them under a lighter weight bench, so I can’t speak to heavier fixtures. I’d say the bench is around 120-150 pounds, depending what’s on it. I think I’d go a size up in terms of weight capacity if I was using these on anything close to 5-600 pounds

Easy to install makes anything with legs a mobile item. I will be installing these on my N scale layout so I can move it when needed.

Once installed, these SPACEKEEPER Workbench Casters work as expected and make it very easy to move around a shop table that I just finished out of scrap wood and tempered hardboard. Like so many “some assembly required” projects, it takes you forever to finish the first [only] set of casters. If you were to do an additional ten, it would take you the same amount of time as the first project, since you know the tricks to use, and the mistakes to avoid. Please note these are to be mounted to the sides of your bench legs and not underneath the bottoms of the legs, so plan your design accordingly. In the “down” (rolling around) position, you add only ¾” to your table height (see photos). So here are my complaints and recommendations if you buy this caster set: 1. The instructions are pretty much worthless. They basically say “put together and mount on table legs.” No helpful step by step details and the included drawings (on one little square of paper) don’t match the items in the kit. Mine was labeled “upgraded version” so maybe the drawings referred to the parts in the non-upgraded version. It was frustrating trying to follow the limited (three!) steps because you have to figure out the orientation of parts that don’t look like the ones in the drawing. 2. The kit is supposed to include 4 wrenches but instead there are two stamped metal pieces with various cutouts shaped like bolt heads and nuts. I tried using them and quickly switched to real tools – much easier. 3. The instructions indicate you should assemble the caster units entirely and then mount them with the provided screws. I did that, only to find that to mount the screws in the bottom part of the bracket, you have to take the caster unit apart again to gain access to the holes (see photo). Lesson learned: attach the step-down pedal (with the red tip) to the bracket and also assemble the caster stem in the lower part of the unit (“wheel mounting plate”), but don’t attach that to the black bracket yet. Instead, locate, pre-drill pilot holes, and screw the bracket to the leg first, then attach the caster stem and lower part of the unit to the bracket. Adjust tension on the bolt and nut that hold the step-down pedal until it takes a slight push to make it go down, but not so tight it won’t easily lift up again. 4. The template would be a good thing to use to help accurately place the bracket on your bench leg if only it was the right dimension – which it’s not. It is crucial to mount these things exactly right so your table sits flat/stable when the caster wheels are “up” and rolls freely when the caster wheels are down. The problem is that the template is 1/16” too short and 3/8” too narrow to match the footprint of the black brackets. So beware. I trimmed my template correctly with a razor knife to the right size. I also elected to mount the units inside the legs so as to avoid a stumbling hazard. You may want to do likewise (see photo). 5. The screws included are complete crap and should be discarded immediately. Don’t do as I did and have three of them cam out when pressure was applied (see photo). With a fourth one, the screw head snapped off completely, leaving about 2/3 of the screw shaft irretrievably buried in the wood. When I switched to my own supply of wafer head screws (see photo), I was able to mount the brackets without issue. Once installation was completed, I was able to dance the workbench around the shop with ease. Stepping down and toe-ing up the red-tipped pedals is a snap. All-in-all, I am very satisfied and for Chinese-made parts, these are not too bad. I have another table on which I used 360-degree casters with brakes, mounted underneath the bottoms of the legs, and they are a real pain to operate. These SPACEKEEPER Workbench Casters I would recommend if you are reasonably handy.

I have a large cement-floored barn. I had some extra kitchen/dining room tables that I wanted to use as worktables instead of letting them just sit disassembled gathering dust. But I wanted to keep the floorspace of the barn easily re-configurable since I do oil changes and other vehicle maintenance in the building and need to be able to quickly clear floor space. For the first table, I used some old, but high-quality metal-framed-with-bearing office chair casters. They work and they were free, so I am just going to keep using them. But for the second table, I ordered these. The better relative usability and suitability is clearly evident. The first table with the re-purposed casters rolls but is hesitant to move and I can’t let it down on the legs. These roll much easier, and I can let the table down on the legs for extra stability if needed. Installation was simple enough. As others have mentioned, there may be a slight learning curve with your first caster as the instructions (or rather lack thereof) are unclear. But after learning and seeing the process, it is easy enough. The included fasteners are of decent quality. I pre-drilled all the holes and none of the screws stripped out when installed with an impact driver. But I’ve had enough experience with these types of products to see that if you did not pre-drill, these would almost certainly strip out. The included “disposable wrenches” are actually of quite high quality. I had an entire workbench full of wrenches and sockets sitting 6 feet away during installation and I just kept using the included “disposable” tools. Sometimes tools like that are terrible but in this case they are excellent for this specific application. After installation, I tested both tables rolling up and onto some thin carpet. The re-purposed casters struggled. These did so easily.

These casters are well made, surprisingly heavy and work very well. I have a single car garage and have many tools, cabinets and workstations. I used these on a metal worktable and on a bench for my router. I can move them easily to wherever I need them and then lock them for a stable worktable while they are in use. Very stable. They are larger than most casters but gives you confidence that they hold the amount of weight they claim. The price is very reasonable too.

Super. I needed for a large raised flower bed. The fact that they could be installed while flat on surface made it a game changer for me. Instructions were good but honestly a man had put video in his feedback and it was very helpful.

Very impressed with this product. Have been disappointed in the past with some suppliers on quality and missing parts. This product exceeded my expectations and there were extra screws included!

While the components of the actual casters seem sturdy enough, the screws to attach them to the workbench are kinda shit. Of the first 3 screws used, my DeWalt impact driver torqued the heads of 2 of them. And it wasn't like I was attaching the casters to hardwood... just plain old SPF 2x4's from the local big Box. Of the remaining screws, many of them stripped during installation... so I guess they are there more or less permanently now. Tip 1: Go get yourself some screws made out of actual hard metal. Throw the included screws in the bin. Tip2: As you assemble each caster, make sure to tighten the top bolt (that holds the cam onto the assembly) good and tight. If it's too loose, the whole unit will not easily hold up the workbench when in the mobile position. After attaching all 4 corners, I had to go back and retighten all the nuts so that the corners did not "sag". Tip3: DO NOT attach the caster to the rest of the assembly until the rest of the assembly is attached to the workbench. It will be impossible to screw the bottom of the assembly to the bench with the castor in place. Tip 4: Be prepared for the increased footprint of your workbench. These castors add almost a foot to the width or length of the workbench. For me, this means that my bench can no longer sit up against a wall without a gap. If you have a shop that it tight on space, these may not be the castors for you. Also, if you have built your bench top to be a specific height off the floor with castors attached, depending on your bench design, these castors may end up lowering your bench height when in the non-mobile position. In the end, I'm not sure if these castors are going to remain on my workbench. I may just go back to the Harbor Freight castors that they replaced.

I purchased these retractable castors to add to a large workbench I was building for my garage. The casters didnt disappoint. They are extremely well made and cope very well with the weight of the bench. They lift the bench with ease and its a breeze to move it around the garage on the 3" wheels I cant recommend them highly enough and wouldnt hesitate to buy them again

I have these wheels under my workbench which is 200+kg. It so nice to be able to lift and move it on my own. The wheels were very easy to install and run smoothly. The only problem I have with them is that they stick out quite a lot, even when retracted. I often hit my toes against them when I walk around my bench. If there is space for the wheels (and your foot!) I recommend installing them on the inside of your bench.

Very easy to install, and makes it very convenient to move my workbench and my table saw around in the workroom.

He abierto el paquete y comprobado por encima y todo parece estar bien. No he querido sacar las ruedas y accesorios porque no las voy a instalar ahora, sino estas vacaciones de verano en que haré el banco de trabajo. Viene todo tan "encajado" en su sitio que si lo saco luego no voy a ser capaz de volver a colocarlo tan bien y la caja no cerrará. Bueno a lo importante: de la inspección somera puedo decir que se ve un material de buena calidad y completo. No creo que tenga problemas con el producto una vez instalado.

The product came with a template for installation which made things easy. The casters work great making my work bench easy to move. I Highly recommend this product.
