This tool works on belts up to 3/8" thick and 3/4" wide. You have to give the tool a firm squeeze to get it to open up the jaw that otherwise only has a 1/16" gap. This tool helps you set belt tension according to manufacturer's specs rather than "feels about right". Too loose and belts will slip or vibrate excessively. Too tight and bearings will suffer. Setting the belts to spec should maximize belt and belt-driven component life.Gauge comes with a calibration certificate and minimal instructions. Feels like it will last a lifetime in the toolbox, as long as the uncovered dial face is protected.

I knew there was something wrong with the way me engine was running. I even took my jeep to a shop to do my belt tension. Still didn't feel right so i finally said what the hay I'm going to buy a belt tension gage just to make sure. Come to find out that they had it way to loose, My 1988 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4.0L in-line six needed to be at 140lb-160lb for a used belt, and 180lb-200lb for anew belt. They had it at 50lbs, I have 290,000 Miles on that motor, and now i know it will last me allot longer what a relief. Thank you guys so much for making my year, and years to come.

I was having issues with my belts after taking my vehicle to Brake Masters, so I decided to check things myself and, with the help of this gauge, found that they put my belts on too loose. I don't understand how they could mess that up, but this helped me correct the issue and if I need another gauge, I'll buy this one. I also replace & check my own belts now, as a result of this product.
