Second KeeCow belt I bought, I did have issue with my first belt, the screws that you have to remove to cut the belt to size snapped off when I put it back together, probably my fault I over torqued it and why they include a replacement set but I didn''t like how easy it was to break so I bought a set of slightly thicker Chicago screws on amazon and use those instead. Time will tell if the leather splits or cracks, good value for the price so it works for me.
