What's up fellas, I need your help.
I need casters for my Kennedy setup and I thought I'd ask the experts.

Problem:
I put the roller chest, two side hanging cabinets, the riser, and the chest on two 2x4 square tubes 1/8 thick. I used the casters that came with the roller chest but I don't they were designed for so much weight. :headscrat:headscrat
As it sits right now, the brake is lightly gripping the caster rubber and it's very, very difficult to move the box around.

What brands do you guys suggest and recommend?
I really like the Snap On/matco ones that have a spring. THey look very cool but I wonder if they make any difference when moving the box around. Maybe they're a gimmick

Thanks in advance :thumbup:

I once had a Kennedy toolbox with factory 4" casters. What a pain to move around. I later substituted 5" Colson Performa casters. You had to set the brakes or the otherwise the toolbox would roll away on what looked to be flat garage floor. Just Amazing. Find some cheap used ones on Ebay.

Thanks for the suggestions. There's a local distributor that has Colson Casters in stock and they're open to the public. I'm going to go check them out.
