I thought these looked nice, so bought a set for a cabinet a while ago. Today I installed two with no problems, but as I was screwing the third one in the cheap pot metal cracked on top and self destructed when I went to remove it. I started putting the last one in and decided it wasn't worth the chance since I'm not spending more money on a replacement set. I don't know if this was an anomaly or what, but its made quite the headache for me now and not worth it.
I installed 4 of these levelers yesterday onto the bottom of a heavy teak cabinet & appreciate the couple of suggestions from others. I also share the complaint of there being no instructions whatsoever. Following a previously posted suggestion to first drill a 1/2" diameter hole, I would add to be sure to make the hole as deep as the screw is long (which is longer than the plated insert). I then used a 3/8" hex Allen-type wrench to smoothly & firmly screw the plated insert into the hole. (One reader suggested using a rubber mallet to pound it in, but I wasn't pleased with this result as the wood was then being smashed which I think this may compromise the stability of the leveler as the furniture piece is moved around.) The leveler can now be easily screwed into the insert.
I bought these for a heavy duty workbench. The workbench probably weighs about 75lb and I'll but storing very heavy things in it, perhaps 250lb total.
So far so good! The levelers work great and were affordable. I didn't have any problems installing or adjusting. I used a 1/2" spade drill bit and hogged the mouth of the hole out slightly as the leveler bases are tapered. 10mm allen key to install the base and 13mm wrench on the foot itself to adjust it.
I used these to replace the originals on three Bee and Willow bar stools ; the stools were great but the floor levels were cheap and unstable. I had to drill out the screw hole pieces which took some time but we got it done. I suggest you use a 3/8 inch drill to set the hole before going to the half inch . Take your time and don't rush !! The trial hole makes it easier to get the 1/2 inch hole to run smoothly . I put soap on the zink nut to help it screw in easier . The directions were on the back of the package . I was very pleased with the outcome !!
I bought this product to level a miter saw bench I built. The bench is in my garage and the floor, as one might know, slopes towards the door. There are plenty threads to level the bench as the floor slopes a 1/2 inch over 6 feet. The levelers worked great.
The only challenge I was faced with was after I drilled the 1/2 inch hole, a 3/8” hex wrench is required to thread the levelers into the legs of the bench (not included). I have two sets of hex Allen wrenches but none were anywhere near 3/8 inch. After looking through my toolbox I found a hex shaped nail set that was luckily the correct size and shape. I used vice grips to turn the nail set and it worked perfectly. A 3/8” hex tool would of been helpful.
I am extremely happy with this product. They are worth the price.
I am happy with these levelers, they are perfect for my needs. My only issue is that there are no instructions included as to proper drilling diameter and depths. I am a DIY'er and have the experience to not require the instructions but some might need that information readily available. Otherwise great product at a good price.
Received the levelers and installed them in less than 30 minutes. Work great! They appear to be sturdy but I need some time to make a final judgment.
The levelers that I received appear to have been improved. The threaded receiver now screws into the drilled hole with an Allen wrench instead of being pounded in or needing to use the actual leveler bolt to screw the receiver into the hole. Note that they require you to drill a 1/2" in diameter hole in order to install.
I've used many different types of adjustable legs, this is the first time I've used this type. These by far are the best so far. Super Ez to install and very strong. I did how every have to go to the manufacturers web site to find what size hole to drill. I would recommend these to anyone looking for strong adjustable levels, Just remember go find what size hole to drill makes life EZ!!
Bought these to raise a dinner table off the ground 1" and they are good and strong.
The only problem is they didn't include a nut in the package to brake the nut from turning.
Worked and looked like the advertisement. Nothing fancy, just worked
