Product review (1 stars): Pads Worn down after 1 month of use
Like a couple other people after installing this kit which replaced the original clutch band kit on my 10 year old washer, the pads on the band (like pads on a brake drum) wore down to the rivets after 1 month of use (3kids & 2 adults in the family travelling part of the time away from home).

Seems to me that 1 month of use, even for a product that is sold at 1/4th the price as other places I found online where they guarantee the products or from the manufacturer (not sure if I trust them either) that 1 month is a little too short.

Going to try a different seller this next time.

I too looked at the 6 band option after the fact (when this one wore down so fast).  The original clutch band with 3 last 10 years.  I was tempted to go with 6 next time, but ultimately decided to just get a quality 3 band like the one that shipped with the original washer.

In retrospect, I saved $30 on this one the first.  However, with the labor (my own) to take the washing machine out and apart all over again, I do not think the savings was worth it anylonger.  If I'd gotten 2-3 years out of it, maybe.  1 month, no.
