5 in. Caster Kit for Ready-to-Assemble Steel Garage Base Cabinets

This comment includes the Husky 46x51" mobile workbench with extension top and this 5 in. caster set. Let's start with the workbench; the swing-up top extension was genius. The top's not in quite the same horizontal plane as the main top but close enough for most purposes... Now - who'll need a small mobile bench with an expanding top? Anyone? Bueller? A guy or gal with a small garage or shop to put it in, of course. That means not much room to move it around, right? Maybe you need to push it straight in between your Husky 24x36x70" cabinet and something else. And what type wheels come on this bench to accommodate that? Four that swivel? NOPE! The designers who never used it in a small space put two swivel and TWO FIXED casters! That means, of course, that there is no way to get it into a tight space and up against the wall! Now, what mod are you going to make to the bench before you even take it off of it's shipping pallet? You're going to replace the fixed wheels with some swivelers, aren't you? Right. So you search online for some at HD and find none close. Then you look at the chest's replacement parts list (once you can finally get their lame site to work, which isn't often, "Sorry, we are facing some issues.") Sorry - I can't list their own part number for the convenience of their perspective customers because the database that obviously serves their website and app is down right now. Then you find the paper copy in a drawer, and get excited because there is a part number for the casters. They don't look quite the same but they're replacement parts, aren't they, so you order them anyway. Once they arrive you're impressed that the holes are in exactly the same locations. Then you realize that you can't simply swap out the two fixed with the two replacement swivelers because they're DIFFERENT HEIGHTS than the factory casters! I forget which are shorter, but that set requires new M8x1.25x25mm bolts, exactly 3 M8 flat washers and one thin "washer" made from pipe strap between caster plate and chest, and one M8 lock washer under the new bolt's head because it doesn't have anti-back-out knurling like the factory 15mm bolts. Once you get all of that together and assembled you have a really nice bench. But WAIT - why not just order a SECOND set of replacement casters, you ask! Want any locking wheels? Of course you do, but you can't have them with two replacement sets because their locks are on the FIXED pair, while the factory locks are on the rotators! You MUST use the factory rotators to have locks. Or keep looking for other suitable replacements. That kludgy workaround is looking better by the second, isn't it? Now - about these casters - why don't the design/marketing/testing people stop and think about how these things are likely to be used? Back to my first point about this whole caster fiasco not having been thought even most of the way through. Nobody with a modest garage will want fixed casters on anything that rolls because they won't be able to roll it! PLEASE, PLEASE Home Depot - go the last few yards and make your good products GREAT!

We attached the caster set to the Husky storage unit. Easy to attach and the caster set makes the cabinet easy to maneuver in the room. Thank you.

WRONG CASTERS FOR THE CABINETS ORDERED

2 out of 3 cabinets had damage and/or dents. We had to send one cabinet back and get a whole new one.

Everything was good...

Casters works well.Same height as a cabinet I already had. Love them both.

Easy to install and seem to work well.

had to return because they were to large.
