Every part as ordered and FAST!!!
I have ordered from eReplacementParts several times and am amazed how quickly the shipment arrives and they are OEM parts as advertised, not aftermarket. I will always check with eReplacementParts first, even over official sites for the product. FIVE STARS.

Able to repair instead of replace
I ordered several small parts to replace a twenty year old electric saw that I thought I was going to have to throw out and buy a new one. Your page made it so simple, even this 74 year old man was able to get the exact parts. They came in a very timely manner, so that I was not delayed getting the work done I needed to do. I now have your site locked on my computer for future needs. Thank you.
