The crew is putting them through places today before we get more but the 3" castors appear to be good enough for the 300lb. rating and roll pretty well on our rough floor, and way nice to have 4-way swivel unlike the harbor freight hydro tables. The hand cranks are sufficient. Without measuring I'd say they could be drill operated with a 10mm hex, but hand isn't really a problem for rapid moves....the metal appears to be pretty hefty, maybe 11ga, and since we work in paint stripping and harsh chemicals we shall learn what grade of paint or powder coat was used soon enough. The top is about 30mm parawood like all the other husky tops, we may overlay our own tops to extend footprint capabilities and discussed boring dominoes into the edges to link them together when larger surfaces require.
In our shop, having a modular system of work tables is key as we are constantly rearranging for projects and being able to nest them away for storage is extremely valuable. They look good, seem easy to use with uneven floors, and I think we will have to work hard to break them.??
Brett that's fabulous! Do the tables feel reasonably robust? My expectation is that they're not as heavy duty as a hydraulic table, but for ~$150-200 they seem like a nice value. My memory is that the adjustment crank has a hex connection, and that for rapid height adjustments a guy could use a drill with a socket in lieu of the handle?.... I'll chat with the manager at my local Home Depot, see if I can get a similar deal.... -- Tom Gensmer Heritage Home Renewals, LLC Minneapolis, MN
