Homhoo 4" Plate Caster Wheels

My college-age son has one of those IKEA Kallax bookcases in his room. It's tall and narrow - about 58"H x 32"W or 150 cm tall x 80 cm wide. Normally it serves as a great divider in his room. WELL. He just bought one of those Oculus Rift S virtual reality headsets for gaming, which has turned out to be way cooler than anyone here expected it to be. When you have the headset on you are often standing, and lots of games make you feel like you're in another place. So when you hear a BANG! from the other side of the house, you know he just swung his arm straight into his bookcase because he's swinging a virtual weapon or grabbing an object in the game he's playing.So the bookcase had to move. But because it looks so cool where it usually is, and the added privacy it normally offers adds a little happiness to college pandemic life, it would be great if it could be moved back and forth easily. In comes the 3” caster test.Concerns about 3" casters rolling around a tall narrow bookcase - would the wheels be strong enough? YES - would the wheels allow the bookcase to move off and on the rug it's on easily? YES - would the wheels pivot well but not be crazy loose like a runaway shopping cart in a tornado? YES - good movement and not loose at all - would the bookcase be wobbly due to its shape or weight? NO - would the bookcase look weird because it's even taller than before? NO- would the height of the wheels allow a Roomba to get under the bookcase? YESThe casters-plus-bookcase have been 100% perfect in every way. (Photos show the amount of stuff in the bookcase plus closer up of the wheels underneath).FOR SCREWSwe used coarse thread screws (4 for each wheel), which have a wider gap between the threads than most other screws. They’re better at gripping things like the garbage MDF (aka wood particle board) the bookcase is made of. Only 3 of each 4 screws catch under the bookcase because of whatever filler is actually in the base of it, but it's fine. Very tight and solid. If you do a project just like this one it's a good idea to drill pilot holes first.Regarding small kids: As much as this whole thing is stable and non-wobbly, I wouldn't want something like a tall narrow bookcase on even the strongest locking wheels around very young children - that sounds like a recipe for disaster.Has my review been of help to you? If so, would you consider hitting the "helpful" button below? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

I was building some shop carts for my planer and miter saw. I wanted to be able to move them around the garage easily but also be able to lock them in place. These fit the bill perfectly. They move around surprisingly well for their size, and I have an unfinished concrete garage floor. The locks work extremely well at holding my carts in place. I'd say the mechanism could be slightly easier to lock and unlock, but it's not too bad. I'm usually able to lock them with my foot but most of the time I need to unlock by hand, and it's very stiff but that's a good thing I suppose. I'd imagine that any mechanism designed to make the unlocking easier would add quite a bit of cost and I'd rather save the cash.I bought 2 sets of the 2" casters for both my planer and my miter saw carts. If I did it over again, I'd probably go with much larger wheels for the miter saw cart, but only because I tend to wheel that one out of the garage because of the amount of dust it creates. Getting these small 2" wheels over obstacles is totally doable, but rough. I have to get down the lip at the edge of the garage, and over the crack between the garage slab and my concrete driveway, and it's quite the wobbly process with a big cumbersome cart and miter saw. The 2" casters do this as well as they can be expected to do, but bigger ones would have made this much easier.I can't remember if I used the included screws or not, but I usually don't with this sort of thing. I tend to over-do it with screws and use ones that are stronger than necessary :)The screwdriver is, of course, completely unnecessary, and I'd rather pay 50 cents less to not have it.

Very sturdy build. Got this for my 36”x72” work bench build. Will need to hold a table saw and a compound miter. It locks up it both the wheel and the directional axel, which is a super nice feature that a lot of other wheels lack. Very happy so far.

Sturdy, and easy to lock. Difficult to unlock. But with time may become loser.Time will tell how they perform.

I made a heavy workbench that I wanted to easily maneuver around yet stable when in the locked position. I tried the lift style which I did not like at all. They could lower the bench okay but raising was a problem. The foot pedal landed on the side of the box making it difficult to step on. Had to bend over and use my hands to lower. Also, when lowering it tended to slam down onto the floor. A fellow on YouTube added a bar to connect two casters. This seemed like a good idea so I tried this. Better, but not to my satisfaction.I looked at other casters (from HF) and found the single locking style was not very good. They did not hold the workbench in a stable position. Also I had to use my hand to unlock the casters. The tiny foot peddle was too small for my foot. This solution pinched my fingers, ouch.I just installed this dual locking caster with a big foot peddle. Fantastic!! Easy to lock/unlock and very stable.The workbench was very easy to maneuver. I got the 3" which worked fine for my application. The 2" would probably be fine for lighter use.These are a sturdy caster and would highly recommend.

Product is as advertised! The wheels and the castor lock in unison and takes little effort. I’m hopeful that they will continue to be this easy to lock and unlock! I purchased 3 sets of 4 wheels. Eight of them will be used on my multi station work bench. I really like the low profile and the neoprene wheels. They come with wood screws and even a screwdriver! Will opt out of using the wood screws. They should provide many years of use. I will update once the carpenters work station bench is complete!

I have used these on all of my movable tool carts in my shop. The lock well and allow me to easily move the tool carts with table saw and router table around. I am using these for a bandsaw table.

Retired at home wood worker, building small wood projects. I built a stand for my Scroll saw and wanted it on wheels These wheels work great for this project, can more than handle the weight and lock into place. They make my scroll saw easy to move around where I need it and when I need to put it away. Going to get more for my planner and sander.

Bastante resistente y facil de poner y quitar el freno

Hacen lo que se necesita, y son muy suaves al mover, no hay que hacer mucha fuerza para que estas se muevan o cambien de direccion.

No calcule el tamaño, las pedi mas grandes de lo que necesitaba, pero no hay problema, funcionana bien y traen tornillos aun que no lo mencione la publicación, hasta el momento todo bien, las 5 estrellas seran despues de un tiempo de ver si son resistentes.Estoy contento.

Good Product BT delivery very poor
