What it's made for: two-stage owners who have met a frozen newspaper.
Two shear pin kits for the same part number, closest to it on our rating, each with a dated price.
The count the listing states, part 738-04124. Enough to keep a few in the garage, a few in the house and a couple taped to the handle. When one snaps mid-storm, the fix is a pin out of the bag and five cold minutes.
What it has going for it
For MTD, Craftsman and Cub Cadet. The brands named in the listing. Parts like this are model-specific, so match the part number in your manual before you order.
The listing names part 738-04124 and MTD, Craftsman, Cub Cadet and Troy-Bilt machines.
Shear pins are sized to the hole in the auger shaft and made to snap at a set load. Use the part number from your manual; a hardware-store bolt won't break when it should, and the gearbox pays.
What the Spuspk 738-04124 Shear Pins (10 Sets) listing names:
Hold the part number against your manual and the model plate before you order.
At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each pin works out at about $0.80 (price ÷ stated count, our arithmetic). That puts it in the cheaper third of the 8 shear pin kits we have a price and a stated count for.
A part that doesn't fit is a return, not a bargain, so match the part number before the price.

Our take
The Spuspk 738-04124 Shear Pins (10 Sets) is about 10 spare pins plus cotters, and it doesn't pretend to be more. No buyer reviews yet, so the Spuspk 738-04124 Shear Pins (10 Sets) has to win you over on paper. The catch with this Spuspk shear pin kit: it only fits the machines it lists, so check your manual before you order. We'd pick it if you want spare pins in the garage before the storm, not after; otherwise, put it next to the Potiarey Shear & Cotter Pins (30 + 30) first.
Before you order the Spuspk 738-04124 Shear Pins (10 Sets), check your model number: it is sold as part 738-04124 for MTD and Craftsman, and fit is model-specific.
Look for the plate on the frame, usually under the handle or behind the engine, and copy the model and serial numbers into your phone.
Never swap in an ordinary bolt: the whole point is that the pin breaks before the gearbox does. Our shear pin guide shows how to change one.
Parts are easy to fit in a dry garage and miserable mid-storm. Our parts guide lists what is worth stocking.

Pick the Potiarey Shear & Cotter Pins (30 + 30) if you want our higher-rated option (6.4/10), with more spares (30).
We rate it 6.2/10 (fair). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
Only if your manual agrees. A listing that names a long list of compatible machines is the seller's claim, not proof of fit: match the part number in your operator manual before you order.
Its listing states 10 spare pins plus cotters. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: whether it fits your exact machine is worth confirming first.
Your model number: look for the plate on the frame, usually under the handle or behind the engine, and copy the model and serial numbers into your phone. Shear pins only: never swap in an ordinary bolt: the whole point is that the pin breaks before the gearbox does. Our shear pin guide shows how to change one.
