I totally agree about the mechanism..... what a PITA.
It would be a lot easier to just put two locking casters on it.
Two toe kicks and you're locked in place or ready to roll.

Tried that. The locking casters still rotate and cause the machine to slip.

My tool has 2" (fixed) wheels on one end and a 4x4 base on the other. To
move it, I lift up the end with the 4x4 and roll it to its new location,
then set it down. Boy is it sturdy.


Yeah, I bet that works great.

FWIW, I've seen casters that lock the wheel *and* rotation.
