We just a a blizzard dropping 2 ft of snow with 3 ft drifts. I am sure glad that I had this cutter kit. I began with the cutters in the down position but my 28" Deluxe SHO was not up to the job. I raised the cutters and the cutters worked flawlessly in the 2' snow. The 3' drifts were still a challenge but may have been impossible without these. Used once and I feel that they have paid for themselves already. Caveat: They seem to be shipping an older packaging. Mine did not come in a nice box as in the video above and installation instructions were not the full page version shown in the video. You cannot install using the included instructions I received; however, the video on this page shows the correct installation. I had mine on using the wrong holes until I saw the video and corrected the installation.

Drift cutters are great but the new "round" style knobs that hold the cutters in place and are loosened or tightened to swing the cutters in place for use are too thin and too small making it almost impossible to loosen and tighten with or without wearing gloves. There's hardly anything to grip because they are too thin and too small. The older design "T" style knobs shown in some photos of the cutters mounted to the snowblower are what should be provided by the manufacturer instead so there is something to facilitate easier and faster "swing up for use / swing down when not needed" operation. Really dislike the round knobs!
