Craftsman Leaf Blower Shoulder Strap Replacement

Craftsman Leaf Blower Handle and Shoulder Strap Parts

Your Craftsman leaf blower handle and shoulder strap take the beating every time you use the equipment. The handle grip gets brittle from sun and ethanol fumes, the strap attachment points crack under load, and the strap fabric itself wears thin or tears. When either fails, the whole job becomes uncomfortable — or unsafe.

Repair Clinic carries OEM Craftsman handle assemblies, replacement shoulder straps, and mounting hardware so you can restore comfort and safety to your blower without buying a new machine. Find the exact part for your Craftsman model using the parts diagram or model number lookup below.

• Handle grip worn or cracked: brittle plastic from UV exposure and fuel residue
• Shoulder strap torn or frayed: fabric stress from weight and repetitive movement
• Strap attachment points broken: stress points where strap connects to blower housing
• Handle assembly loose or rattling: mounting bolts or tabs weakened
• Comfortable grip lost: aged rubber grip slipping or peeling

Craftsman Leaf Blower Handle and Shoulder Strap — Common Questions

Why does my Craftsman leaf blower handle feel loose or rattle?

The handle assembly bolts loosen over time from engine vibration, or the plastic mounting tabs crack under stress. Check that all bolts are tight first — often a simple tightening fixes it. If bolts keep loosening, the tabs may be cracked and the handle assembly will need replacement. OEM Craftsman handle assemblies come pre-drilled and ready to bolt on.

My shoulder strap is torn. Can I replace just the strap or do I need a whole new handle?

Replacement shoulder straps are sold separately and are much less expensive than a full handle assembly. If the strap attachment points on your blower housing are still solid, a new strap is all you need. Measure your current strap width and length, or use your Craftsman model number to find the exact OEM replacement. Straps are simple to install — usually just a few bolts or rivets.

How do I find my Craftsman leaf blower model number for parts lookup?

The model number is printed on a label on the blower housing, usually on the back or bottom. It starts with "CMXG" or "CMX" followed by numbers. Write down the full model number and enter it in Repair Clinic's parts search to see the exact handle and strap parts for your machine. The parts diagram will show exactly which parts you need.

What's the difference between a handle assembly and just the grip?

The handle assembly is the complete metal or plastic frame that attaches to the blower housing — it includes mounting tabs, bolts, and holes. The grip is the rubber or foam covering on top of it. If your handle frame is cracked or bent, you need the assembly. If only the grip is worn or peeling, you might find just a grip cover replacement, though most OEM assemblies come with the grip included. Either way, entering your Craftsman model number ensures you get the right part.

Craftsman Leaf Blower Model Number: Where to Look

On Craftsman leaf blowers, look for the model number on a label attached to the main housing, commonly near the handle on the back or bottom of the unit. The label may also be near the engine, so check the entire housing if it is not immediately visible. Write down every letter, number, and punctuation mark in the model number, then punch it into the search bar to sort the catalog down to your model's parts. This filters the full Craftsman leaf blower parts selection, not just handle or strap parts, so you can match parts across the whole machine. It is the quickest way to be sure the part fits before you order.
