Very Capable Wheels
I bought these to allow me to move my latest project around my shop. I have just built a platform bench for my new cnc router that has a 4' x 8' capacity. I state this because I want to describe the massive size of the overall unit. The bench is made of 4 x 4 beams and plywood, I would estimate it weighing in by itself at over 600 lbs. , the shipping weight of the router on the pallet it arrived on was 630 lbs. so doing the math I have so far a bit over half a ton of weight resting on 6 of these wheels , and by the time everything is build I would suspect I'll have closer to 1500 + lbs. I have been able to easily glide this assembly across my tile floor without any issue whatsoever. And when I raise them on the internal leveling feet, everything becomes extremely stable which is what is needed when operating this machine at high inch per minute cutting speeds. Don't let the size fool you, these are very capable wheels.

Good solid product, but I thought I was getting four of them. Very pricey

Easy adjustment with heavy duty build quality.
Great casters, that are easy to adjust. They roll very easily.

Original Foot Master, I like it!
This item is solid, I like it, however they didn't add any protection inside the box so one wheel hit the other and the paint fell of... So I went ahead and bought the next round separately so this will not happen again...

Perfect caster for my heavy kitchen island
Perfect caster for my heavy kitchen island. Easy to install and the nylon wheels roll easy on the small hex tiles. The ability to lower the pad and relieve pressure on wheels was the reason i bought these. Sturdy feeling construction.

Very hard to twist red knob to adjust height.The weight must be completely removed from the wheel

NOT rock solid
I'm pretty disappointed with these casters. I bought a set of (4) for a heavy duty welding table that I built. The table weights 460 pounds, the suggested load for (4) casters is 1,100 lbs.These are far more "wobbly" than I wanted. I drilled and tapped the bottom plate of the legs (1/4" plate on the bottom of 3" square tubing). When I have the rubber leveling pads extended the table is definitely not rock solid. It moves 1-2" back and forth with the slightest push sideways.I think the reason for this is that the rubber leveling pad is extended with 1/4" threaded rod (it might be metric, but looks to be no bigger than 1/4"). To extend the pads past the casters and then properly level the table the entire load is supported by a few inches of very thin threaded rod. Chicken feet is what comes to mind.Terribly underbuilt or the load rating is overstated. For $160 for a set of (4) I expected much more. I'll be returning these. Unfortunately I need to cut apart my table in order to get something else to work.

First Impressions - Great Idea, Poorly Executed
I have to start off by stating that I have not installed these casters yet but felt compelled to leave a comment based on my first impressions.The caster appear to be very heavy duty and durable construction. The thumb wheel for the levellng screw operates smoothly (not under load), the castings and coating appear to be of a high quality, as well as the wheels are very nice. I have no doubt that these caster will hold up to the specified loads and my intended use. The materials and construction are high quality.HOWEVER: I must say there is one part of the design that screams out to me as very poor design (trust me, Im an Enigneer. Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer and now I is one.....). The rubber feet are threaded onto what appears to be a 3/8' bolt that is turned by the thumb wheel. This bolt needs to spin freely at its top support to allow the mechanism to operate, as it spins the rubber foot moves up and down in a guided slot. There is an unnecessarily high amount of slop in the clearance between the rubber foot and the outside casting that it needs to be guided by (I used the term 'guided' very loosely). The result is that this freely dangling bolt and foot pad when not under load, and the pad can move around excessively within the metal casting. Once installed, I am 100% certain that this will result in a wobbly table. I have ZERO concern that that caster or bolt will ever break as it is never really stressed in a way to impart excessive lateral load, however I know the table will have some wobble once I install, probably up to 1/4" of wobble in any given direction. I assume this much slop/play is required to allow the pad to conform to very uneven floor, but there is certainly a better way to design the leveling foot that would keep the bolt secure and just have a ball and socket type connection between the foot and leveling bolt, and the leveling bolt require an additional fixed threaded support. This arrangement could impart more loading into the bolt during use but its beefy so should be able to handle it. Overall Its a great product concept that is a little poorly executed.Consider this, if you need a rock solid table with no wobble then these will not be for you (ie, for hand planing, any work involving a bench vise, etc). I think you will be disappointed. If you need a work bench that is very mobile and used moreso for assembly, storage, etc then these will be fine.I will be installing on a combination table saw outfeed and assembly table so I think they will be fine, though the wobble could become a nuisance when pushing larger sheet products through my table saw onto the table. Also there is a possibility that all of the uneveness in my concrete shop floor takes up the stop between the rubber feet and the casting such that the table doesn't wobble much in certain directions, but based on other reviews I am not holding out hope for this.All of this stated I think they will offer much less wobble than my current outfeed table setup.......a sagging folding banquet table with ABS pipe risers on the leg bottoms :DIf possible I will update this review once I have installed and used them some more.
