Product review (2 stars): Not as durable as "Heavy Duty" should be
The product fit with no problem and we thought the metal piece would last longer than the previous plastic one that wore out after a few months.

This one lasted about 3 and 1/2 months.

We have a washer that is used almost exclusively for recycled Huck Towels. We bought it used and we have replaced the coupler twice - first with an all plastic coupler, and second with this "Heavy Duty" one.

It would be great if someone made one of a stronger plastic material, or even put in some rubber to dampen the forces against it. They could charge triple the price and I would pay for it - as long as it actually lasted.

For now, I'm just buying two of the all plastic ones and I'll not put in as full of loads, and replace as needed.
