12 Pack 3" Swivel Caster Wheels Rubber Base with Top Plate & Bearing Heavy Duty (12 Pack - no Brake)

I buy these castors for wooden workbenches I build as a hobby. The castors are the most common add on and these castors are excellent! They are heavy duty, full swivel, and take only a couple of minutes to install. Customers complement the ease of the locking mechanism and how smoothly they roll. Highly recommend, probably the best value out there.

casters work great, strong and smooth

These are great casters for light loads. The rubber is pretty soft so it flattens out and makes it hard to get the load rolling. But after you get past the flat spot they work great and locks are very good.

connected wheels to bottom of large chest 24" x72" makes moving a very heavy chest easy,

Plan to use these to make a new cart for the propane tank/weed torch. I used a plastic crate on a luggage carrier with bicycle training wheels for the old one. I like it on wheels because it's easy to take the tank to fill propane. But, it didn't maneuver that easy while working with just 2 wheels, and the crate is cracking. I hope it will be perfect with 4 wheels on a wooden box, a tank stabilizer on the bottom and a new handle!

Both the description and the images say that these use "Double ball bearing for each wheel". The wheels don't use ball bearings at all, just a simple zinc plated steel sleeve bushing (yet still has housings to cover the non-existent ball bearings). This puts them in the same league as the many 60 lb casters sold on Amazon and makes me extremely dubious of the 300 lb load limit (or 1200 lb load limit for 4) that these advertise. (The swivel does still have ball bearings but it's rare that a caster doesn't have actual ball bearings there)In less critical issues, the fingers of the swivel brake rub the fingers of the swivel even when the brake is fulling unlocked. This makes them less willing to turn.edit: after my first attempted use of these, my review is that they're even worse than I expected. I mounted these on some heavy duty utility shelves and just the weight of the shelving (about 100 pounds total spread over 4 casters) left skid marks randomly across my basement floor as wheels locked up or casters failed to swivel. These are truly awful. Also, in addition to the set of locking casters I bought a set of casters without locks (same seller) but these, instead of having a simple sleeve bushing had a lousy attempt at roller bearings (still not ball bearings as advertised) where the bearing cylinders are only 2/3 of the width of the bearing race so the slide back and forth and don't provide good support at any time. And the tolerances for all of the axle pieces are so bad that the wheel has about 20 degrees of play in it.

Found these at a really nice price and put them to use by building carts and then placing either four or five drawer metal file cabinets on them. Moving the file cabinets have never been so easy! The file cabinets hold a variety of items and can be very heavy. Construction tools, hardware, garden items, and some even have files in them, but most average 500-600 pounds. These caster wheels have handled all of our file cabinets when they are completely full, and make moving the file cabinets so much easier. We have over a dozen file cabinets in the garage used for storage, and most of them have carts with these casters on them. Good value, sturdy, and easy to use - what's not to like?

While these wheels are very well made and great value for money they have a major problem with the over powering smell of the rubber they have used.I've noticed this a number of times with items made in China. This was really strong enough to make me leave them outside in 100 F plus weather with the Arizona sun beating down on them for a week in the hope it would let the odor out gas.After a week my sense was they still smelled just as bad. The second step I tried was to soak them in a large tub full of Pine-Sol for 3 days and nights. This did get rid of the strong rubber smell.So one star off for the smell and one star dropped because I had to buy a liter of Pine-Sol.

Great product for a good price

Wheels seem to be very sturdy. Time will tell how they hold up. Installed on BBQ.

Arrived promptly, well packaged. They look well made and sturdy enough. I have given four stars as they have not been put to use as yet.
