Product Description
Eskimo® 8965 OEM Lock Nut, 10-24 HTPLK ZN
Ensure your Eskimo ice auger operates safely and reliably with the genuine Eskimo 8965 Lock Nut. This is an official Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement part, designed to meet the exact specifications for securing critical components on your Eskimo equipment. Primarily used as a blade-mounting nut, this part is essential for maintaining the performance and safety of your ice auger.

Constructed from durable steel and finished with a zinc plating (ZN), this nut offers superior corrosion resistance against snow, ice, and water, ensuring a long and reliable service life.
