Saves the day and keeps our old and trusted blender going! Such a simple solution to what we thought would be a blender that could not be serviced and would have to be replaced. No longer! This simple part was installed in about three minutes a the blender works as well as it ever has.

Before discovering this product, I tried everything I could think of to remove this part and considered buying a new blender. This was a money saver and the easiest repair I ever made.

Quick and easy replacement using the wrench that came with it. Blender worked perfectly with the new part installed. TIP - Hold the old piece with a pair of pliers to keep it from turning. Blender threads are reversed, so turn wrench to right to loosen the old part.

High quality part. Enclosed tool made for easy removal of old part and installation of new.

Seems like kitchen aid mixers are all having the same issues that’s why this replacement part exists. It’s good that it comes with the tool, but you’ll also need a small pry bar/ screwdriver to take the old part off. Job complete within a few minutes.

Perfect fit, easy to replace with the included tool. Got two of the couplers, so I've got the spare all ready for next time.

My Kitchen Aid blender recently had this part break. This was easy to replace and now the blender is back to working like new! Great value and quality made part!

Easy to change this part with tool provided. Good to know it is reverse threads. Works great so far.

This product includes two replacement couplers and one spanner. The product was delivered rapidly and the included spanner worked correctly to remove and replace the original coupler. The first replacement coupler broke progressively over only 3 uses of the blender despite the other blender components still moving smoothly and easily when turned by hand. All teeth were progressively shredded off about halfway along their length so I think the flexible teeth are too weak for the intended use or the dimensions are not to specification compared with the original part. I have just swapped to the 2nd supplied coupler and added close fitting washers to total 1.5mm thickness between the base of the part and the axle so as to push the contact point of the coupler upwards so it has a thicker cross section where the force is transmitted to the blender jug. See photos for further explanation. Follow up after 1 year: the modification as above provided 1 year of good service (used a few times each week) and then the teeth finally gave way again (1 at a time). Still usable with 4 teeth but looking for another alternative. I would have given 2 stars except for the rapid service and the fact there were 2 parts so I could try something different the second time.

This little kid comes with the spanner that is needed to takeoff the old and put on the new. It’s almost impossible without this little tool.
