The augers on many craftsman snowblowers have a sheer bolt. If the auger encounters too much resistance, ie, a foreign object like a piece of wood or even a newspaper buried in the snow, this bolt will break off preventing damage to the gear box, which is a lot more expensive to repair than replacing the bolt.
This bolt requires not tools to install, just insert and secure with a cotter pin.
The parts dept at sears can sell you the replacement bolts with the correct sheer force rating. Have your snow blower model number handy when you call or go in.
