Drive Medical Swivel Lock Walker Wheels, 5", 1 Pair

Walmart online was a great way to buy these hard to find Wheels for standard walkers. they turn your ordinary issued Walker into something very mobile and useful to take out to appointments for example, and yet be really lightweight to get in the car.

The standard Equate walker from Walmart seems to be the only walker on the market that's black. Yet they don't make replacement parts for it. So when the wheels go out, you have to resort to silver universal wheels. The Drive wheels fit just fine. It just looks like the walker's wearing socks. LOL! Obviously, it's simple to replace wheels. The old legs slide off, the new legs slide over the adjustment buttons for installation. But swivel wheels sit below the walker's legs, not to the side, so they raise the walker's height several inches. The back legs have to be adjusted to match. The walker looks too high now, but the user swears that it's fine. We got the swivel wheels because they sounded easier to drive than the original static wheels, particularly around corners. The user did not like the freestyle movement. They felt unsteady because they're not used to that feel. Since there is the option to lock the wheels, we tried that and they liked it much better. The control felt like the old wheels, just higher. We suggested that they could get used to the swivel movement and have the benefit of dual-control wheels, locked or unlocked as needed. They want to keep them locked. In the end, we could have gone with replacement static wheels and kept the walker at the same height, but they want to keep these wheels anyway. They're happy that the walker rolls well again. We'll just name it Socks.

Best swivel wheels to date that we purchased. they swivel easily and can be locked if needed. nice product.

These swivel wheels are great. They work well and afford easier handling of the walker. The only negative was I had to cut six or more inches off the stem so the walker wasn't too tall. Great buy.

Due to a broken femur, I'm using a walker for now. The walker came with (2) front wheels & (2) rubber tips, which we eventually changed to tennis balls. I need to use the walker around the house on linoleum & carpet, & outside on sandy gravel driveway. For the best use, I now have (2) conventional wheels on the front & the (2) swivel wheels on back. I tried the swivel wheels on the front, but steering was too squirrelly. They work perfectly on back. Lock or unlock easy to perform. You might want lock @ sometimes if you are concerned about your safe operation.

They are perfect for my walker

Work great! Better than having to lift walker and reposition every to you go around something. House is mostly carpet.

Received on schedule. Very easy to install and function excellently. Very stable and helps me deal more efficiently with my balance issues.

I bought these wheels so that I could approximate a rollator with that type of walker's ability to change directions quickly and to turn around without lifting the walker up and down. These wheels do a great job of that, but can be a little squirrally when putting a lot of pressure on the walker especially on wood and tile flooring. I'm using the walker like crutches to lift my weight off my bad knees, but if one is using the walker for balance issues these will work well.

Product works great problem is you better be at least six foot tall because they raise the walker two inches higher on every setting I'm six one an on lowest setting it's two tall for me
