Illinois Industrial Tools 2.5" Swivel Caster Wheel - Low Profile Creeper

Fit great exact match to other wheels

Caster for my creeper worked perfectly.

These would have been perfect except the were a 1/4 inch too short. I removed the lock washer and it worked great!

Like other customers, I order 2 1/2" and got something else. In this case, it's 2 3/8", and the package claims 2 1/2". I bought it to match three others, so it's completely useless to me. I do not recommend the vendor ThinkFast or Illinois Industrial Tools because of the hassle of returning this unsuitable part.

The wheel is actually 2 5/16" diameter....not 2 1/2" as advertised. Other than having the incorrect measurement, the caster itself is good quality. I needed just the wheel to replace a broken one on a piece of equipment and I needed a wheel that was 2.5" in diameter...oh well...so we have some lean and wobble now...dang it!

The product is the same as the original casters which I believe are not heavy enough. The original casters' ball bearings fell out within a year of occasional home use. I haven't used these yet, but I can't expect these to do much better. However, these seem to be the only ones available, and they did fit perfectly and price was right. Six casters at a third of the cost of a new creeper. That's acceptable.

I wrecked one of the wheels on my Harbor Freight Mechanic's Roller Seat, this item is pretty darn close to being a direct replacement (the nut loosened up over time and the stem threads stripped out). As you can see in the photo, while the stem is the same length on both wheels the nut on the new one is a shorter so it only engaged with the stem with no washers in place. Thankfully the old nut had enough threads left for me to use it on the new wheel.

Loved it
