      2x thickness of OEM. Straight-across depth selection for easy adjusting. A durable, logical replacement for the light-duty, inferior criss-cross depth adjuster that rattles and wears out. A much-needed redesign of the traditional diagonal slotting for a simpler, heavy-duty system that will withstand tough conditions better than the OEM. Same depth increments as OEM.
