If you are buying a new blade for your vitamix, YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS WRENCH AS WELL!
As for the wrench itself, it definitely does its job (which is a simple job) of taking off the original blade and tightening the new one into place. Pretty easy and straight forward. If you're going to take your assembly off (which the instructions say to not do unless ABSOLUTELY necessary) I highly recommend cleaning it oiling it with some vegetable oil while you're at it before putting the new blade in. Using this tool, my new blade went in without a hitch. The problems came with replacing the drive socket. Now THAT I recommend you not mess with!! It totally messed up our blender, but again, that's a review for another item...
In terms of this wrench, it does its job. My only complaint (other than having to buy it separately in the first place) is that it's so huge!! It's really obnoxious to have to store a tool of this size somewhere in my house that only has one function and will probably only be used once or twice EVER. Could you really not have designed a smaller wrench, vitamix people? Oh, also, if it helps, we have a vitamix 5200 series machine. I've included pictures of the unit as well.
Hopefully this has been helpful to another Vitamix owner! I did NOT receive this item free or at a discount.
