Sears 12" AccuRight® Ratchet-Rod™

The Carter Sears AccuRight® Ratchet-Rod™ replaces the stock tension rod and knob in most Sears 12" bandsaws with a ratcheting knob assembly for easier tensioning and de-tensioning.

Up until now most tension assemblies featured a simple small knob attached to a threaded rod for tensioning and de-tensioning your bandsaw. Functional, but not easy or accurate. The Carter AccuRight® Ratchet-Rod™ (Patent Pending) changes all that.

The Ratchet-Rod™ Kit replaces the original rod of the bandsaw with a 3/4" driver rod for easy rotation, and includes a contoured ratcheting knob for quick and comfortable rotation. Inside the knob is a ratchet mechanism with a tiny flip lever that reverses the drive direction just like a socket wrench. Once the rod and nut are installed, tightening or loosening your blade is quick and easy.
