Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Since I needed three sets of casters for different power tools, I decided to buy both a Powertec and a Rockler caster set and compare them to find out which one is the best. There are three main steel sections which can be seen in the picture titled "Part Names" with the three labels “Mounting Bracket”, “Pivot Arm”, and “Tilting Plate”. Notice that the Powertec has a much more rounded surface where it contacts the tilting plate, making it easier to slide and decreasing the wear on both this part and the tilting plate. Tilting Plate. Look at the picture with the caption “Tilting Plate Comparison”. Note that the Powertec plate is slightly flared at the top of the picture whereas the Rockler plate is straight. The Rockler also tilts down 1.8 degrees, much less than the Powertec. My guess is that the Rockler’s tilting plate will be more horizontal under load than the Powertec, although this is really conjecture on my part. Mounting Bracket. One minor issue is that the Rockler mounting plate has two sides and a center section that should be bent 90 degrees from each other. Material Thickness. The pivot arm, tilting plate, and mounting bracket on the Powertec are fabricated from steel that is 1/8” thick, or .125”. Finally, when mounting casters on my really heavy table saw, I will relocate the mounting hole on the tilting plate closer to the pivot point (where the 1/4" bolt is located) to put less stress on the plate when raising and lowering."
"I built an 8' long workbench and wanted to be able to move it on occasion or at will for various reasons (working on large objects, working on the wall behind the bench, cleaning...) so at first I was just looking for regular wheels - then I found these."
"These leg levelers allowed me to adjust the table height precisely to match the table saw's height and to assure the outfeed table was in plane with the top of the saw."
"They shipped rattling around in a big box as others have mentioned, which was somewhat disconcerting, but they were not hurt."
"I can move the table full of tools with a single finger and often have to grab the table to stop it because it will roll on it's own once in motion."
"These casters have no problem lifting the bench and it moves very smoothly across the concrete floor."
"Did follow someone else's recommendation to install slightly (0.5-1 inch) - higher placement of unit resulting in lesser clearance."
"I would highly recommend them if your project needs mobility though keeping in mind as stated that each wheel is rated for one hundred pounds."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I work in Direct Sales and I bought this cart to help me brings things in and out of the show, I get compliments on it all the time and people always want to know where I got it."
"I am giving this a lower rating because one of the things that the bolt for one of the wheels fell inside the frame as I was taking the nut off rendering screwing that fourth bolt on impossible unless I took the thing apart and not sure even then it would have worked."
"On the first use, the bolts attaching the wheels came loose and a couple fell out before we noticed the wheels were loose. I would still buy the cart again but definitely invest in some Loc-Tite for the bolts."
"We truck crates of books with it, and it holds up extremely well and continues to glide smoothly on its wheel bearings. One recommendation to the manufacturer: an instruction sheet which diagrams the attachment of the wheels would help those not mechanically inclined, and would prevent those who do not intuit the function of the "release bar" which allows movement of the handle into locked position for storage and for usage."
"You have to scrape off the injection molding stem buds, and sand the wheels down a bit, otherwise you'll have annoying bumping going on as you move the platform truck. I'm seriously considering just pulling the factory casters, and installing ones with brakes if the screw hole configurations match the platform truck. There is a hefty rubber bumper that goes around the outer edge of the deck to help prevent scratching walls, ect. I tested the truck out in my studio, which is actually a small house with some tight corners, and places where anything too much larger would not work well. I was able to fill up two of my thirty-ish gallon plastic trunks with gear, and stack them on the platform truck with no problems, as long as the terrain is relatively flat, or mildly inclined. I wish the factory had placed attachment points for straps to help secure large loads when negotiating inclined slopes, and ramps. Still, it'll come in handy for my lighting gigs in terms of getting heavy boxes of gear between vehicles, venue, and studio, ect."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I was previously using a combination of a saw, hammer and crow bar and it was probably taking me 20-30 minutes per pallet of screwing around to get it taken apart. This pallet buster has allowed me to get most pallets completely deconstructed in under 5 minutes."
"The only problem is it leaves one side of the plank damaged and is a tough one person job trying to hold and cut through the pallet and nails. Bottom line, if you are looking to work smarter and not harder this tool is a must have for reclaiming free pallet lumber in a simple sustainable way."
"I started taking Mine apart with a Flat Bar and a Sawzall, which worked but VERY TIME Consuming. Some of the Lighter Pine ones-THE Buster Will Pull the Nails through the Board without breaking them."
"However, considering it took me nearly an hour to strip a pallet with hand tools, and that doesn't count how much I managed to reduce to firewood, I'd consider that a big improvement. The forks stay flat on the surface I'm stripping, allowing the wood to peel off in a single straight motion. It won't save rotten or splitting wood; you still need to check your process to make sure you've picked a pallet worth the effort of stripping."
"What I mean is, the bottom two teeth swivel which allows the plank, no matter the angle, to be fully pressed upward without breaking the board in any way."
"However, the feet are very wide and do not fit between the planks of any pallets where the planks are spaced less than 1" apart from one another."
