I bought four of the 4"x 1-1/4" casters from www.surpluscenter.com They were
very nice with a most excellent foot brake. These have the rubber over steel
an I keep about 100 pounds per wheel on them, no signs of flattening.

Hard plastic - but I prefer the rubber now after having used both.

HF has some too. But after having built a few now, I know that casters, like
clamps, are not something to cheapen out on. I'll gladly pay extra for the
better ones now.

I've used the Grizzly casters. They worked OK in my application
(shop carts) but if I had it to do over again I'd spend more
for better quality. The carts have been in service for several months,
but I don't think the Grizzly units will last.

The plastic *CASTERS* from Grizzly work fine for me.
