[2025 Upgrade] ZestWrench Electric Knitting Machine Adapter for Sentro Knitting Machine 48 Needles, Automatic Knitting Machine Accessories with LCD Panel & Row Counter, Flat/Circular Knitting Modes

I installed this adapter on my 48-pin Sentro machine, and I was up and running in no time after that. Within 45 minutes of assembly, I had a finished tube that I later turned into a really nice hat.I was confused about the difference in installing the device on the 48-pin Sentro as opposed to the 40-pin, but as soon as that was squared away (instructions for 40-pin on one side of the sheet and for the 48-pin on the other, duh!) — I’ll chalk it up as a senior moment — I had no problem at all.The ZestWrench works as advertised. Its display shows speed (I used Low for the first few rows and High for the rest), and the row counter gave me the same count as the one on the machine. It stopped a couple of times when the yarn wasn’t feeding easily, but I just fixed the yarn and started it again. I think this is a safety measure to keep the machine from overheating (and the yarn from being ruined).I have lots of yarn set aside for more hats, and with the ZestWrench I’m sure I’ll be able to make all of them without wearing myself out using the Sentro’s original crank. This thing really works, and I’m very glad I bought it.

Would not sit flush on machine. Broke the handle. Had to return and order new knitting machine. Good idea, bad bad product

I love my Sentro, but this addition has made me fall in love with it. Thanks to the genius that came up with this idea.

If you're someone making a lot of hats, this is worth the investment. Takes a second to set up but its SO much better than holding a drill or cranking. I've made about ten hats so far and its been such a game changer.

I think this would be great. But the Gear Change Shaft was not with it. Please could you send me it? Do I need to send it back and get a refund?

Item arrived quickly. It was easy to install, but it is SLOOOOOOW! I can turn my machine, by hand, just as fast as this. If you don't want to hand crank, then this is a good option.

If you own a 48 pin Sentro where the cap doesn’t pop off on the handle this will not work for you! My machine has a glued on cap or permanent cap. I tried removing the top to see if I could use the cog gear glued to the handle and I could not. It needs a cog gear piece to work. Sadly disappointed and returning the zest wrench.

This definitely works better than using a drill attachment. The hands free is really really convenient overall it works well except it keeps giving me error messages and stops randomly for no reason. Not jammed or anything. Unsure if this is an issue with the item itself or related to my machine but my knitting machine is brand new.
