DOZAWA Workbench Casters Kit, 660 Lbs Retractable Casters Set of 4 Heavy Duty, 2.5" Side Mount Caster Wheels, Stepdown Castor Wheel for Workbenches, Machinery and Tables

I recently purchased the Workbench Stepdown Caster set (700 lbs capacity) for my heavy woodworking bench, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best investments I’ve made for my workspace. These casters have completely transformed how I use my shop, blending rugged durability with effortless mobility. If you’re on the fence about upgrading your workbench, let me tell you why these deserve a solid five stars! Pros: 1 Heavy Duty Construction: The all-steel build feels incredibly solid, and the 700 lbs total capacity (175 lbs per caster) easily handles my loaded workbench—complete with tools, a vise, and lumber—without a hint of strain. These are built to last! 2 Smooth Urethane Wheels: The 2.5” urethane wheels roll like a dream on my concrete floor. They’re quiet, non-marring, and glide over small imperfections with no jerking or sticking. Moving my bench around feels almost effortless. 3 Stepdown Mechanism: The retractable design is genius! With a quick step on the pedal, my workbench lifts off the ground for mobility, and when I release it, it sits firmly back down—rock-solid stability for when I’m working. No wobbly wheels here! 4 Easy Installation: The kit comes with screws, a screwdriver, and clear instructions. I had all four casters mounted in under an hour. Pro tip: pre-drill your holes slightly smaller than the screws for a snug fit—it’s a breeze with a drill. 5 Fantastic Value: For the price, you’re getting premium quality and functionality. I’ve seen flimsier casters cost twice as much, but these deliver top-tier performance without breaking the bank. Cons: 1 Screw Quality Could Be Better: The included screws work fine, but they’re a bit soft. I swapped them out for some sturdier 2.5” deck screws I had on hand to ensure they’d hold up long-term. Not a dealbreaker, just a minor tweak. 2 Pedal Placement: The stepdown pedal sticks out a bit, so if your workbench legs are near a walkway, you might occasionally bump it. I mounted mine on the inner sides of the legs to avoid this—it’s worth considering during setup. Final Thoughts: These Workbench Stepdown Casters have unlocked a new level of flexibility in my shop. I can roll my bench out for big projects, tuck it away for cleaning, or reposition it to show off my work—all without sacrificing the stability I need for precision tasks. The heavy-duty steel and smooth urethane wheels make them feel like a professional-grade upgrade, and the retractable feature is the cherry on top. Despite the minor hiccups with the screws and pedal placement, these casters are an absolute steal for the quality and convenience they offer. I’d buy them again in a heartbeat—five stars all the way!

Works perfect, rolls smoothly

I purchased the set with a 700 lb capability for a 6-ft long table. Saw cabinet unit. Works great. However, don't have a lot of wood chips or anything on your floor as the wheels are a little smaller than I would like and they have a very hard time going over. For example, an electric cord. When you set the machine down it slams really hard. Fortunately it's only from about a quarter inch. But if you're looking for a soft landing, this is not the product. One other thing, the installation seems to include very cheap screws. The heads stripped out on several even with a new bit. Other than the screws, great product and certainly a very good price.

These things are awesome turn to shooting bench that was a pain in the butt to move around into something I can now move with one hand absolutely recommend

These bracket wheels are very good they are sturdy and two of them will fit well on the bottom of vertical posts so it can be tilted and moved like a hand truck.

Legs worked as I anticipated for a mobile table saw/mitre saw stand I built. They roll well and are easy to drop when you want the stand stable. Just read the instructions carefully and look at the hardware. It said drill 1/4" pilot holes for the wood screws, that would have been too big and the screws would have slide in and out with ease. I did one side with 7/64" pilot holes, they worked okay but a couple of screws still didn't grab well. the other side I switched to 3/32" pilot holes and that was just right. This was on pine 2x4's so if you're putting these on hardwood you may want the larger 7/64" hole. The screws weren't made of the best metal so I could see them stripping if you had to put some effort into getting them in. You may want to go to the hardware store and get some good stainless screws. The wheel nuts installed with the included 17mm wrench just fine. All in all it serves my purpose.

I'm giving the product 3 out of 5 because the casters themselves seem well made. I've mounted them on a large, heavy wood workbench. The problem is the installation. First, the second step in the instructions is to drill a 1/4" pilot hole. As noted in several other reviews, that would be a disaster. The screws are much smaller than 1/4". I used a 1/8" bit for my pilot holes. Next, you can't get a decent grip on the caster in order to truly tighten down the nut and lock washer. There is an integrated nut on the caster and a small wrench comes with the kit, however, when you tighten down the nut and lock washer, it pinches the wrench between the caster and the step-down plate. Somebody's engineer failed some basic math. I ended up holding the caster with a large pair of channel lock pliers and tightening everything. The step-down mechanism and the casters themselves are working great. I even dinged my wall because it went rolling a lot easier than I had expected!

Good caster for the price. I have 4 sets, all working well so well.

Produto robusto, muito bem construído, ainda não instalei, mas me parece muito bom!

The mechanism for the casters to retract is terrible. When I move my workbench around, the casters retract on their own (basically, the workbench falls). I wouldn't buy these again.
