UPDATE: DO NOT BUY- I cant recommend these anymore. After using them on 20+ or so mobile projects a few (2) have failed
Failure: the ratchet gear teeth will strip and make it hard or impossible to raise. what a bummer, everything else has been solid, but the gear for action is just soft.

Im a bit of a self proclaimed caster ****, I can appreciate a good caster and have been putting them on damn near every large/heavy item in my shops for the last 20yrs.
Ive found a new caster that really shines in shop equipment usage. Ive ran full locking casters, floor locks, and plenty other custom jobs for planting a piece of equipment. The
ratcheting feature on these is the real highlight, previous versions require you to spin a very small adjustment wheel with 2 fingers. This is a huge pain in the ***. The ratchet makes quick work of the adjustment.
These 2 in 1 casters are a excellent middle ground of mobility and planted
MSWY 2.5" 1100lbs rated ratcheting casters @ $12/ea is a smoking deal - the build quality is very good
