Welp, turns out the rumors are true. Size DOES matter.
If you've found that mere "heavy duty" isn't getting it done, get ready to smile. These are for table saws, jointers, loaded tool cabinets, and anything heavy enough to make the floor nervous.
Real steel.
We went thick: .10" steel on the housing. Each leg is rated for 1,000 lbs. Yes, per leg.
A ledger that means business.
The ledger is a full 3/4" wide and takes most of the stress off the screws. You can screw through the side AND the bottom, so the leveler isn't going anywhere.
Don't get shafted.
The shaft is a full 1/2" in diameter, built for the most punishing jobs in the shop. The ball end sits snug in a nylon socket, so the foot tilts to meet the floor and holds that angle instead of rattling around like it's about to self-destruct.
Bulletproof feet.
The zinc-plated foot uses twice the steel of a typical leveler foot, with a nylon base permanently embedded in it. No cap to pop off. Ever.
Lock nuts included (of course).
A must for anything that vibrates. Level the piece, then run the 3/4" lock nut up tight against the bottom of the housing.
EZ installation.
Hook them on, pre-drill, and drive the screws. Five minutes, and that's if you're taking it easy.
Pro Tips.
Lift the workpiece a little with a pry bar and spin the shafts by hand to get close. Then, once the workpiece is sitting on the levelers with its full weight, fine-tune with the hex wrench.
On a machine stand, set all four legs a hair high, then lower one corner at a time until the machine stops rocking. Then lock the nuts.

Simply the best.
I tried several "other" levelers, but they could not hold up. DESUNIA exceeded my expectations and is doing the job. My workbench is a full-length bowling alley weighing in at over 4,000 lbs. It sits on 4 solid wood cabinets. The levelers easily hold it all up, and the silicone pad on the bottom allows me to slide everything over to clean and work on both sides. There is simply nothing on the market built like this. If I could give it 10 stars, I would.
