 Removal tool was absolutely necessary. March 10, 2010

When my husband and I ordered the replacement rubber coupler for our Kitchenaid blender, I wanted to order the removal tool as well. He took the guy's advice in the other review and did not order it. After working on my blender for nearly half an hour attempting to remove the coupler according to the directions, he had a blister on his finger, had chisled little bits of metal off my blender base, was in a terrible mood, and he still couldn't remove it. I tried too, following the instructions closely, to no avail. We ordered the removal tool combo the next day and when it arrived, had the coupler off and replaced in less than a minute. The blender works perfectly once again. I wish I had ordered the removal tool in the first place.

I read several of the reviews of the coupler. After close observation of my own blender, I realized I would not be able to remove the torn coupler without a special tool, which I didn't know was available. Then I came upon this set of tool and coupler, which I immediately ordered, with my fingers crossed hoping it would work out. After a quick delivery (in my mailbox in 5 days, including a weekend), I opened the package. The directions that come with the coupler do not explain how to use special tool. However, it was pretty easy to figure out: Use the tool to hold the knob in place on which the coupler is attached (without the tool, the knob will turn in the same direction as the loosening direction). Use a plier to turn the coupler clockwise, while using the tool to hold the knob still, thus preventing the knob from turning as you loosen it. Note, the coupler must be loosened by turning it righty-loosey, opposite of the usual righty-tighty. For me, this could not be done without the pliers. But with the pliers, it came loose in 10 seconds. Once loosened, I unscrewed the old coupler and screwed on the new coupler. On a scale of 1-5 in difficulty, I would give this a 1.5.

After having great trouble trying to extricate the damaged coupler, I succumbed to ordering the wrench + coupler. It arrived almost instantaneously. In less than 30 seconds, I was able to remove the baddie and install the new one.
WARNING - The packet included instructions that should not be followed - pay no attention to the directions included in the packet - ( ala Wizard of OZ).
Simply put, just isolate the coupling using the wrench and twist off (righty loosey) the bad one with the help of a pair of pliers for grip.
Voila, it screws off in 6 seconds. Attach the new one (lefty tighty) and you are back in business!

You definitely need the removal tool and a vise grip/plier to get the job done without frustration. The removal tool keeps the base in place while using the vise grip/plier to remove old coupler--it only took less than a minute to remove and seconds to screw on the new coupler. Easy fix.
great device June 22, 2010

this little device saved me from shelling out for a new blender. It was easy to use if you follow instructions
