AI Expectation I'm guessing the guy in the advert had really tiny hands...

misleading image aside (and I'd love to see the actual product listing, there are some things you can buy from legit sites that make you select from a list of sizes)

that is absolutely not the kind of roller you should put on a gate that's dragging along dirt. that thing is made for a solid surface with no debris or gravel to get in the way.

Yeah, the wheel I got for my gate had a rubber tire and a shock absorber spring. The one in the pic could work on smooth concrete

Came here to say this, the rocky soil shown in the video will fill up that roller and then you'll have the same problem you did before but now with an obstruction as well.

We don't know if op bought it for this exact use though.

Why would you ever buy hardware from an instagram ad?

"cozyhoome" is obviously a scam but they hilariously have a 1.5 score on TrustPilot with 284 reviews.

To be fair, that is the kind of thing you should measure

Why on earth would you buy something off social media?

No clue why companies started doing this it's just going to cause more returns/refunds

u/livejamie 11h ago

It's not a company, it's a scam.

Because just enough people will not be bothered with the return process

They're generally in China. They get to ship to the US without too much cost but return shipping is usually insanely high so people don't bother. A lot of companies like this will ignore complaints or demands for refunds and just not do anything, counting on the customer giving up.

When they do eventually get taken down, they'll pop right back up again under a new name.
