Reviews

Easy purchase but same design as failed part.
April 27, 2022

Easy buy with fast delivery. I only gave it four stars because it appears to be made/designed just like the one that failed. Time will tell how long that this one will last.

Critical part that is weak

Order 2 as they fail often. The last one broke 3 feet into the 20 inches of snow we got! Unfortunately its the only option.

Simple to install
April 26, 2021

While the install of this cheap plastic cable retainer was done in 5 minutes... I must complain about the price of shipping. I ordered 2 of these parts due to they are so fragile. Sears could have put them in an envelope & sent through US mail way cheaper that the 9plus dollars I paid to have them shipped.

Necessary part for snow blower
November 19, 2019

I bought 2 of these small plastic pieces For the cable retention. $33.00. $11.00/pc and $11.00 shipping. The price point is ludicrous. Small wonder Sears went out with price gouging like this. I certainly will never buy another anything with the Craftsman name on it.
