As a gift to my father, I installed the system- I just learned law about a month ago, so if I am right it could be from years ago. It was adjustable from a range of "about" 4-, but I can't recall precisely when it was adjustable. A height of 5 inches to a height of 12 inches It is 13 inches in length. I am my father's son- Despite his height, he is very happy with the unit. The wheels add to the appeal of the unit. didn't take me long to complete this.

I am so My trust in the seller led me to buy the item. As for the brand name Drive, I have it and I want it. As well as "universal," the word "universal" was It was difficult to put them on, because the plastic grommets are thicker than those on the walker now. It would have been easier to insert the adjacent piece if it were wider, but I purchased it through Prime, so I cannot return it. I would be okay with that if the item was what it said it was. It is clear from the facts that Universal was not right in this case.
It fits perfectly and works well. Trying to insert the post of the wheel extensions into the walkwer was quite difficult when the leg extensions of the walker had been removed. Though I almost did not think it would work due to almost the same tube diameters (so that neither post would fit inside the other), I was ultimately able to get them in and slide them up and down to the correct There is just the right amount of hardness in the wheels to allow them to be used It is the right hardness so that they do not make a lot of noise as they roll along each wood joint and is not too soft to leave rubber marks on the floor. Having the wheels facing out let me have more leg room inside the walker, as well as being more stable for a walker with the wheels facing out. According to some other people who have posted on Amazon reviews, they cannot mount the wheels facing out, but have only been able to mount them facing One more time. It is remarkable how much more stable the walker is with the wheels facing outward. Elderly persons should pay attention to this. My decision to purchase these wheels rather than the other wheels on Amazon was because I wasn't able to afford the previous wheels. As well as running nice and quietly, wheels also run smoothly. Not a whisper to be heard. It must be free of slop in the axles, so that the wheels do not A straight and true wheel is also important, as is the wheel's rotation. There are some people who have commented on this issue in reviews of other wheels. I also decided not to buy other wheels from Amazon for this reason. Reading the reviews of the different wheels I was able to buy on Amazon, I decided to go with the second wheel I liked best. The few extra dollars I paid over what I would have paid for the same product makes this purchase very worthwhile. It is best to buy the 'cheapest priced' There will be no harm in your being happy as well. I'm Jim.
This is for my father's walker, who is 92 years old. On one of the wheels at an assisted living facility, an axel / spoke completely broke off after less than one week of use As a result, my father fell 145 pounds to the ground, further aggravating the recovery of his fractured L4-5. One of the assisted living facilities noted that they had never seen a wheel break on that scale. It's just trash, simple as that. CareerCityMedical sold the item to Amazon, who fulfilled it. Upon arrival, we received wheels in a plastic bag with a product sticker on the side My wheels need to be replaced, but these will most certainly not be purchased!.
It is impossible for me to verify if the wheels have universal fit, but I would imagine they will fit an Invacare walker and a Drive walker. My attention was drawn to the fact that the holes used to set the height are slightly different in According to my understanding, this was done because it allowed different walker brands to be compatible. Then in case the stop button does not fire when you put the wheels on, swap the left and right wheels around.
This is exactly what we wanted. Wheels that originally came with the Drive Walker are the same ones that are used with this one. As a result, I bought these for my 100 year old grandfather, who wanted solid wheels on both the front and rear of his walker. As he grows older, he needs something that will be less likely to roll over on him when he stops, like the four wheel walkers he sees others at his independent living home using. Our family has been trying out three different types of walkers for the past six months (since the child In spite of his frequent changes of channel, the drive remains his favorite. By using this second set of wheels, he has been able to find a middle ground that he is satisfied with. I am pleased that the items were so reasonably priced and arrived so fast.
A walker that our neighbors had was lent to us. The wheels on the wheel had become quite worn from being rolled over rough pavement by the time we were ready to return the wheel. They needed to be replaced, so I ordered these. I put them on and they fit perfectly and, of course, looked good since they were Fortunately, the neighbors got their walker back with new wheels (even though we didn't inform them of this fact). I was happy with the outcome.
There has been an improvement in the quality of the wheels from the original Walker Due to this reason, I do not like the product. The hard shiny plastic wheel does not allow navigation on wood or vinyl floors as well as the original one did. It also catches on the grass when walking outside. Drive should have stayed with the original design with the closed spoke area these days, since those of us who do physical therapy and walk on all terrains require the safety of the closed spoke design and the rubber wheel rather than the.
My walker does work with these wheels, but they are cheap and flimsy. This may explain why the price of the items Despite trying to roll them over rug edges and doorways and tiny slits in the carpet, I have to lift the wheels up from the floor. I am fortunate to be able to do that, but if you cannot support yourself and lift your walker, do not purchase. It is best to buy a sturdy and reliable product. There are no words to describe my disappointment. As I do not have a permanent disability, I only need this walker until my back heals, or else I would have sent it back right away.
