Product overview A practical kit that restores impeller performance on two stage snow blowers by adding reinforced rubber strips to each impeller blade. Designed to reduce chute clogging and improve throwing distance when moving wet or heavy snow. Key benefits Restores throwing distance and chute clearing: The reinforced rubber strips reduce the impeller loss of ability to propel snow up the chute, helping to move wet and heavy snow more effectively. Prevents costly bearing wear: Install the kit on every blade. Modifying only some blades creates harmonic imbalance that can accelerate wear on the impeller shaft bearing. Reduces clogged chute incidents: The added rubber edge helps prevent snow buildup in the chute, minimizing interruptions during snow removal. Fast, lowcost : Parts are simple and inexpensive compared with major impeller or gearbox repairs. Compatibility and sizing Designed for two stage snow blowers only. Not intended for single stage machines. Not suitable if your impeller or blade edge dimension is less than 1/4 inch or greater than 5/8 inch. Universal fit for two stage machines when within the stated size range. Materials and specifications Item type: Snow Blower Impeller Kit Metal components: 3/8 inch perforated metal watch band (3 pieces included) Rubber components: 3/8 inch perforated rubber watch band (3 pieces included) Flat steel: Perforated flat steel, Grade 5, 1/16 inch (listed as 15.8 mm) Fasteners: 5/1618 x 1 inch coarse thread bolts, with 5/1618 lock nuts. Use a 1/2 inch wrench and socket for installation. Applicable: Universal for two stage machines What is included 3 x Perforated metal watch band 3 x Perforated rubber watch band 1 pack of accessories (21 pieces) including bolts and lock nuts Installation Estimated time: 1 to 2 hours depending on skill level. Important: Install an insert on every impeller blade to maintain balance and avoid premature bearing wear. Tools needed: 1/2 inch wrench and socket for the 5/1618 hardware. Practical use scenarios After a heavy, wet snowfall where your two stage blower struggles to throw snow far and the chute clogs frequently, install the kit to reduce buildup and restore clearing ability. For older two stage machines showing reduced throwing distance, apply the reinforced rubber strips to each blade to recover performance without replacing the entire impeller. When preparing a driveway or sidewalk that often packs with wet snow, use the kit to minimize interruptions from clogged chutes and reduce the need for repeated clearing passes. Why this kit matters Addresses a common mechanical cause of reduced snow throwing distance and chute clogging by restoring the impeller blade edge with reinforced rubber. Emphasizes complete blade modification to maintain balance and protect bearings, making it a preventative as well as corrective measure. Provides the metal, rubber, and hardware needed to perform a durable, lowcost on compatible two stage snow blowers.
