The best screws for attaching the plate and a 17mm wrench
I used Spax #10 Multi-material Exterior/Decking screws to attach the plates. I used the 2 1/2 inch length since I made a workbench out of construction lumber. The heads of these screws sat flush, so did not protrude or interfere with sliding the casters into the plates. You could also use the interior Multimaterial version, but this workbench was living in my unheated garage and I wanted to be able to use it outside some too.These plates were not too hard to attach and I used the suggested 1 3/8 inch from the floor to the bottom of the plate. I tested the casters and while they are a bit fiddly, it does seem to be the right height. I'm happy that I could find them for such a good price during Prime days. I got the "900lb" version, not expecting that it would hold that much weight, but they look fine for my small workbench.The other issue is that though they gave one wrench, not too horrible, but you need two wrenches to fully tighten the casters onto their bases so that the split washer fastens. The wrench they send has a 14 mm side and a 17 mm side. The trick here is that you will need a second wrench, 17mm, the 14 mm side of the provided wrench you slip into gap between the caster and the base to stabillize it from turning while you tighten the nut all the way so the lock washer flattens.One other trick is that people might put the wheels pointing out from the plate, but it's best to swivel it around so the long side is pointing in.I normally wouldn't give a review before living with these for a while, but I wanted to do it before I forgot which screws and wrenches I used because that was the important part. I rarely use the fasteners that come with items like this anyway. Here's hoping the casters hold up.Now to build something to attach to the workbench so the casters don't get misplaced since I plan to remove them when I'm not needing to move the bench.

Very versatile product
The wheels come off, what a great idea. With a little ingenuity the wheels can be mounted on steel shelving units that weight a couple hundred pounds when filled. I built a wooden L shaped bar in the garage, a total of 18 feet around. I put one wheel in each corner and one in the middle. Only 2 of the 5 brackets are visible. I can push the bar with literally one finger. The wheels are super strong and solid to move things on.Almost everything in the garage is stored on wheels. I store the wheels in a box so you don’t lose an ankle. I can move everything in my garage to the other side in less than 30 minutes, with no assistance. Easy to move things around to make space for a project.

Be Warned of Fastener Options
These casters are fine but you need to be aware of how the bracket for removable casters works. The set ships with two types of fasteners - wood screws (1/4” or 14s, can't tell) and M6 bolts. The wood screws are only intended for use if you are directly screwing the casters to your, um, whatever. The round head screws will not work with the removable bracket because they stand too proud for the caster to slide into the bracket. The black bolts included are meant for use with the bracket.The legs in my workbench are 100mm x 100mm, and the black bolts won't even go half way through. I want to be able to remove these casters so I don't kick them constantly, and I need to be able to screw the mounting brackets to the legs on my bench, so I figured I'd buy some flathead screws.That turned out to be a little more complicated than I thought it would be. I checked the head size on the M6 black bolts with my calipers. 0.406" diameter, 0.099 head hight. That's a pretty small and shallow head, and it needs to be shallow to sit as flush as possible with the mounting plate. Most flathead screws of size 12 or 14 have a larger diameter and deeper head.I searched the entire fastener catalogue of McMaster-Carr to find flathead screws that would work, and the sum total of options was 1. It's a wood to metal undercut flathead screw size 12, catalogue number 90420A763. It was $32.50 shipped for two 10-packs.So if you need to screw the mounting brackets to your item, be prepared to spend over $32.50 more.Otherwise they're fine. They're casters, they hold the weight, and I can take them off. Which I like.

Used these for my artist desk
I used these on a home made artist desk. I built a form and used a kitchen counter top to make an artist desk. It is long heavy and seriously takes some muscle to move. But it is so awesome for painting and my pencil artwork. I had to find something to move this desk around for cleaning underneath. I saw these on youtube, bought them and problem solved. These were tough to put on but they lift the desk for moving and drop it for stationary working. Pretty awesome.

Heavy duty, well-built casters were easy to install and work great!
Right out out of the box I was impressed by the weight and build quality of these casters. I wanted to install them on the two legs of my Weber BBQ (that weighs 160 lbs.) to make easier to move around. Yes, the instructions tell you to mount them 1.4" (one point 4 inches) from the ground. For me that translated to 1-13/32" so that's what I used. I mounted one to a scrap 2x4 to make sure it would give me 3/4" lift when mounted according to the instructions. I opted to use the mounting bracket that allows for quick removal of the casters when not in use. Although I will leave them on most of the time, I will likely take them off and keep them in the garage when it rains in the winter. Overall, I am very happy with these casters. I just flip them down and they lift the BBQ up high enough to make it a breeze to roll around the concrete patio.

Need to buy flat-head screws if using mounting plate on wood
was hoping to use this on my workbench like shown in the product descriptions and various pictures. But the mounting plate only comes with nuts and bolts, and not flat head screws for wood. The screws that it does come with are pan-head which is used for the caster to connect directly to the wood, and NOT for the mounting plate. if you use the pan-head on the mounting plate, the caster will NOT fit.So if you buy this, be aware you will have to buy flat-head wood screws if using mounting plate on wood.
