Last Tuesday my rolling tool cart tipped sideways and took out my miter saw stand
I've been telling people for years that locking casters are a waste of money on a 400lb cart if you park it right. Tuesday I was moving a bunch of lumber around and bumped the cart just wrong. It slid about 3 feet then tipped hard to the left. My miter saw stand got knocked over and a blade guard broke off. Took me like 4 hours to get everything back together and level again. Anyone else been burned by cheap casters or am I the only one who learned this the hard way?

Locking casters are actually fine if you take the time to maintain them and keep the debris out of the wheel wells, which nobody does. Your cart tipping sounds more like a load balance issue than a caster problem honestly.
