12 Pack Heavy-Duty 2" LOW PROFILE Swivel Caster Wheel for Creeper Service Cart Stool Post Mount

no good - came apart after 2 uses

I used these to replace the broken casters on my Walmart "Popular Mechanics" brand creeper (very similar to Craftsman mentioned and pictured in another review). I had great difficulty finding suitable replacements on Amazon. Although the wheels on these are dimensionally identical to original wheels, the caster mounting bolt and nut are slightly smaller in diameter, but still fit and look good. There wasn't a drop of lube in them as received, and 2 of the 4 casters would barely rotate or turn. After oiling they work fine, roll very smoothly on concrete garage floor, and good as originals in this respect. However, the caster metal frame is stamped from a thinner gauge steel than the originals, and the balls are a bit smaller. Some reviewers mentioned balls falling out - these have a wider gap at bearing housing than original casters, but I don't think they're going to fall out. I (200 lbs) rolled around quite a bit testing and no bearings were lost. These are not as good as the original 27-year-old casters, but those are impossible to find. I did find replacement wheels only that were a close match to originals @ $8 each. At $13 for 4 complete casters, these saved me from spending $70 on a similar quality new creeper, so I think that's a pretty good deal. Great value.

I bought the 24 pack because I have 3 creepers and a tool creeper, I put these on my creeper at work, it takes four, I brought six wheels, first time I used my creeper, removing a transmission I had to use the two extra wheels I brought with me, but I also had another bad wheel still on my creeper, to date I've used my creeper for maybe 20 hours and I have replaced 5 wheels, the bearings fall out almost instantly, buy something different than these junk creeper wheels, my original wheels lasted 18 years of hard heavy truck mechanic work but they've finally worn out but they STILL swivel fine, just the wheels are worn. UPDATE, I have gone through all but 5 of the 24 wheels I purchased on just the one creeper, all because the bearings fall apart on the swivels, Amazon should remove this seller completely for peddling garbage like this, do yourself a favor and buy something different, I've learned my lesson and bought something different and those are doing great on my creeper.

Great. Fit my creeper good

The price is a little high. I can get a whole new creeper through H.F. for a couple of dollars more. The design is a little different. The originals had flats on the outside of the upper bearing case. These have a tiny bolt flat area above the bearing. No wrench I own is thin enough to fit on this. No space. I put my lock washers from old wheels under the creeper tubing and just above the wrench flats. This was the only way I could get them to tighten up. The lock washers dug into the bottom of the tubing and into a small flange on the the wheel stud. I may have to cut them out if I ever replace them again.

Wheels installed easy, roll with ease, very sturdy and a great price!!!!

I purchased these casters to replace the disintegrating wheels on my 30 year old mechanic's creeper. They are the perfect replacement, however the wheel was about 1/4" narrower than the original and the metal parts not as thick. The claim each caster has an 85 lb. capacity, so technically the creeper with the 6 casters should hold up to 510 lbs. The description also states that washers/lock washers are included, but were not shipped with my package.

I needed replacement swivel wheels for my Samsonite Alpine Lite luggage (as all four of Samsonite's cheap plastic wheels had broken to bits), and this looked like it would fit in the plastic corner pieces that hold the wheel to the bag. The stem is longer than the original and needs a collar to hold it tight, but it fits perfectly otherwise and gives the bag a smoother roll than the original wheels ever did. The ball bearings did not look like they were well lubricated, but since it's on a suitcase, it shouldn't need to bear too much weight, so I'm satisfied.
