Exclusive First Look: R8 SmartCasters – Only for the SmartFam!

In this video, we delve into why the R8 Smartcasters are revolutionizing the Paulk Smart Kart 2. We'll provide an in-depth overview of these innovative casters and guide you through the step-by-step installation process. This video features an early version of the R8. Subscribe for more updates as I continue to test and provide feedback to Bennington Manufacturing, helping to refine them for the final release.

I got a set of R7 a month ago for my workbench. They work great. I did not know about the R8 version when I ordered them. Thanks for the video.

Thanks, Ron, looks like a game changer to me. The old style with the foot pedals can be a real pain sometimes, as my bench seems fairly heavy.

I'm very excited about the R8 and especially the PSK2!!! Ron must be very confident in both the R7's and R8's as he continues to work in his sandles!

Thanks for posting this, Ron. I'm curious if you've ever experienced an accidental retraction when moving the bench around? It looks like you really have to lift them high to engage the retraction mechanism? Just curious as I could see myself rolling my bench and hitting an expansion joint in my shop and have things come to a sudden stop 🙂

Will the overall size dimensions of SK2 be the same as SK1? — additionally will the SK1 be able to be modified using the new plans or need to create a whole new one?

Hey Ron, emailed the manufacturer and just a couple hours Bob sent a response will up fate me once the new R-8 casters are ready. Then I'll be looking for those plans for the smart cart !!

I'm IN! BTW I have PSK v1.0 plans and couldn't find the v2.0 update - can you tell me how to get them? Thanks :D

[bdm]

Are the templates for mounting the casters going to be available on new plans?

Hi Ron - Where did you get that face shield, and how do you like it. I have seen you wear it several times.

I wonder if the price difference is significant enough to offer both versus just offering the R8?

I looked at the website, does not have a Canada shipping option
