Shepherd Hardware 9071 7/8-Inch Plastic Furniture Socket

We had a roll about stool. The factory welded an end cap on each leg with a threaded center nut that received a threaded caster. The tack weld broke on one leg and the caster fell off.The legs were 1/2" diameter hollow tubes. I cut off 1/2" of each tube and thus the welded end cap as well. I inserted these plastic sockets into the tube end and then casters. Worked fine and saved $150 stoolCasters were from the Shepherd as well, from my local big box hardware store. (Shepherd2 in. Black Plastic and Steel Twin Wheel Swivel Stem Caster with 75 lb. Load Rating (2-Pack))

Been meaning to replace the lost wheels and realized I only have one socket left. Measured the pipes and hoped for the best with this. Almost didn't fit...until I used my hammer and the metal shaved the extra edges. Now there's room for more shoes below!

This older bedframe uses these larger, hard to find inserts. They insert into the frame perfectly but are a pain to get onto the caster stem. VERY tight but works perfectly once on. I found that warming them in hot water and using a silicone gel lube made it a bit easier. I do recommend them if you have the patience!

They were a perfect fit

I bought casters from Shepherd hardware and the nylon grommet was not large enough, so I bought some bigger grommets, they were the correct size but the hole the caster was to fit in was to small. I drilled them out to make them work. What I paid for them was not worth sending them back. Some times thing just are not what the seem to be. But life goes on. Thanks

These allowed me to make a plant stand mobile. Works as advertised, good stuff.

Came next day after I ordered it. Easy installation and seems better than the original ones.

Sizes are incorrect!Outer diameter is 1/2” - Should be 5/8” to fit snuggly!Inner hole diameter is 5/16 - Should be 7/16 which is the standard size for caster stems!Do not buy!!!
