JTEX 5140010-16 Planer Blades Screw for DeWalt DW734, DW735 DW735X Planer - 24 Pack

The 5140010-16 Planer Blades Screw for DeWalt DW734, DW735, and DW735X Planers has garnered mixed reviews from users. While some customers commend the product for its good quality and fitting compatibility with the tools, others express significant concerns regarding the durability and design of the screws. On one hand, reviewers appreciate the reasonable pricing and the functional fit of the screws for replacing old hardware. Some users note that the screws have lasted well after installation, adding to their positive experience. However, a major drawback highlighted is the change in the screw head design; the screws have an Allen head instead of the original Torx head, which many users find inconvenient. This alteration necessitates the use of different tools for installation, which could deter customers who prefer the standard setup provided by the planer. The most serious criticism comes from those who found the screws to be unsatisfactory in terms of durability. Reports of the Allen heads stripping during installation indicate that the screws may not be hardened as advertised, leading to concerns about their long-term reliability and effectiveness under torque. This conflicting feedback makes it clear that while some users find the screws an effective replacement, others advise caution. In summary, the 5140010-16 Planer Blades Screw presents a cost-effective option but does so at the potential cost of durability and user convenience. **
