Gates 91132 Krikit II V-Ribbed Belt Tension Gauge - Measures 100-320 Lbs Belt Tension

Mechanics and DIYers, this Gates Krikit II tension gauge is the professional way to set proper belt tension!

Specifically designed for V-ribbed (serpentine) belts on cars, trucks, and buses.

The bright green pressure pad and indicator arm make it easy to read measurements between 100-320 pounds (or 50-150 kg).

Proper belt tension is crucial - too loose and you get squealing and slippage, too tight and you'll wear out bearings prematurely.

This tool takes the guesswork out of belt installation and maintenance.

Works on belts up to eight ribs wide, covering most modern automotive applications.

The simple design means anyone can use it - just hook it over the belt span, press down until the arm aligns with the belt, and read the tension.

Note that this isn't for timing belts, just your standard accessory drive belts.

Gates is the leading manufacturer of drive belts and tools, so you know this gauge is accurate and reliable.

A must-have for any serious home mechanic or professional shop.
