Buying Guide: Casters, Pads and Cords

Swivel and Rigid Casters
Swivel casters come in diameters such as 2 in. and 3 in., with load ratings such as 80 lb. and 110 lb. The 2 in. thermoplastic rubber swivel caster has a brake and a non-marking wheel surface, and the 2-1/2 in. hard rubber rigid caster is rated for 175 lb. Check the load rating against the weight each caster will carry before you order.

Felt Self Adhesive Pads and Blankets
The beige round felt self adhesive protective pad is 3/4 in. wide and sold as a 20 pk. (Pack of 12). The brown rectangular felt self adhesive blanket is 4-1/4 in. W x 6 in. L and sold as a 2 pk. Match the shape and size to the surface you plan to protect before you order.

Extension Cords, Appliance Cords and Adapters
Extension cords come in indoor and indoor or outdoor styles, such as a 10 ft. orange cord with a 3 outlet power block. Appliance cords, such as 14/3 SPT-3 125 V cords in 3 ft. and 6 ft. lengths, can replace a worn cord, so match the wire size to your appliance. Grounded adapters come in styles such as 1 outlet and 6 outlet versions, so count the outlets you need before you order.
