"Great wheels, exact replacement for my failed Behringer wheels."
"I had to swap the factory socket with the Ernie Ball, which required me to drill the front socket holes out just a little, the back to holes were perfect."
"Once you have your equipment moved in, simply pop the casters out of the brackets, and the cabinets are back solidly on their feet, which is preferable to locking casters in my book."
"Works great on my Fender Twin Reverb."
"The only thing that you should keep in mind is watching out for the reverb tank when attaching the caster receivers into the bottom of the cabinet."
"Sturdy, smooth-rolling and easy to install."
"I'm investing in industrial casters this time around, as it's pretty wasteful to be throwing a full set of these out every year."

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."
