Ever lost a wheel on your roll-on suitcase or had it cracked by over-zealous baggage handlers? Good luck getting the airline to pay for the damage. Instead of throwing it out and buying a new bag, simply replace the old wheels with these sturdy rubber replacements. Each set comes with two replacement wheels, two axles and axle screws, four washers and two wrenches. They cost just US$13 and worldwide shipping is free. That's a lot cheaper than a new suitcase! |
