The guys from Eastwood used four of these on a chassis table build I made, and I saw them used on a Youtube Foot travel from use of the foot seems to be out of proportion, The table's casters have to be raised up by the feet that are already very close to the ground in order to do so. As for the compressed and extended foot lengths, they seem a bit ambiguous as well. The size of the foot had to be measured in a large vise in order to take account of the In addition, it's a bit wobbly when the foot is unscrewed since the bolt is only 1/2" long (maybe a bit more). Therefore it would not be perfect for a heavy top. The price was too high, so I wouldn't bother buying these again, and instead I'll get 4 trailer jacks instead- believe those would be more durable and offer more adjustments for about the same price.
Update My experience is not as successful as what I saw on the Eastwood youtube video that used them. It's either all of my four are defective or they do not In order to remove the table from the casters, you would have to unscrew the foot all the way and compress it against the floor, then step on the lever. However, in my case, the table isn't lifted at all.
It can only be extended so far before losing spring tension and the mechanism no longer works. A previous reviewer mentioned this. As far as the level height is concerned, I retracted it to the absolute maximum height and then extended it till just barely engages the lock mechanism and the total length is just over 6". As the springs that help to maintain tension are too short, any higher than this the articulating lock will not engage. At this point the foot lock also becomes very sensitive and can disengage with a very gentle bump of the device. This makes it very unsafe for It came without any paperwork, and the only thing on the site is the blue prints showing the dimensions and the min/max height, but there isn't any documentation on how to properly adjust. I tried everything I could, including flipping the cam lock base over With the center rod adjusted, it definitely has more range than the springs, but the springs run out of range well before it reaches that limit. Furthermore, in a video from a different company, they stated they had to buy a mounting plate because when you extend the rod too far and then retract it, it will protrude, and that can punch through thin metals or bend it if they are not rigid. I should have listened to the other reviews prior but I figured I might be able to get it to work without too much difficulty. Although it is quality made and well built, I would look for another product from another brand because of the poor adjustments and incorrect range of adjustment. It was clear that I was.
I got them for my 6 inch caster cart, and I am very happy with the product. It is true that they are large, according to another review. Not because they're too big, rather because they're an impressive piece of equipment. As a result of some people having trouble getting them to work, I posted a picture with this review. The collar of the system was mentioned by another reviewer. They said that the collar is hard to see, but an important part As you can see in the photo, the disc collar is what controls the tension of the cam. The collar tried to come with the feet as soon as I began to extend them. It was not difficult to maintain its position as I unscrewed the foot with a pair of channelocks. As soon as you have a few turns on the foot, you don't need to hold the collar any longer. The extension screw does not wobble or feel loose, even when extended to the minimum range of 7 348 inches. I did not test the maximum range as I only need it on this end of the extension. In all, these are a great purchase, as they are heavy duty and I couldn't be happier with them. The pieces are just too strong to break, so I'm sure that they will last forever. The company could include a brief instruction set so that users don't have to jump through some of this hoops, but other than that, and for the price, this is an excellent purchase.
This product is the best I've ever used - I'm extremely satisfied I am able to wrench pretty hard on my vise and it will not move. My work bench is very well built and firmly locks in place. In response to the reviewers who complained about the lack of adjustability, I think I have a good understanding of what's going on. It is vital that you keep the separate threaded collar up against the spring near the factory setting, so that you can back out the "foot" part of the tool to adjust the height. The threaded collar of this device was firmly seated against the foot when I unboxed it for the first time, and it was hardly Although it appeared to be defective at first, closer inspection revealed that it can be threaded upward toward the spring to adjust the height, so you can maintain preload and adjust the height as needed. That's what I'm hoping to help you with.
The way the foot unscrews as soon as you open the box made me unhappy when I bought it to replace a similar one. When I went to return it, I discovered it could not be returned. It says in the description that the item isn't returnable on Amazon's online chat. However, I still cannot locate that information in the description of.
Although I was excited about using these, I couldn't figure out how to get the lift range they were showing in the specifications. were included in the box, so I went to the website and found it to be generally unhelpful. They have been returned. I think they are a great idea if they work.
This is a very disappointing experience. I need to add shims to this item in order for it to work.
Bought to use with the 6 inch caster set, and found them to be useless. The arm does not extend far enough to be used with casters with 6 inch wheels. I bought it to be used with the 6 inch casters. Misrepresenting in a way.
