Great tension tester and easy to use
I have an '04 Hyundai Elantra and I had replaced all my drive belts (3 total) and tensioner pulley on the air conditioning belt due to a squealing sound. The work was a bit of a pain to do, but the manual mentioned that I needed to tighten the belts to various tension measurements with 22lbs of force. I thought, I can guess what that is and tightened the belts till they felt tight. 2 days later it was cold and my belts started squealing again. I did a little research to find what kind of tool would let me know if I tensioned my belts correctly and came across this device. I use gates parts and belts and have had good success, so I figured I'd give this guy a try. It is very easy to use, you push down on the center of the belt with the plastic part of this tension tester in the palm of your hand. I used a straight edge across the belt and pushed the rubber gasket (on the thicker part of the tensioner) up between 8-11 mm or 12-15mm(depending on what each belt called for) and pushed down on the tensioner till that gasket was level with my straight edge. Then I looked at the small gasket to see how many pounds of pressure I had exerted. If It was say 15 lbs and I needed to get to 22, I would tighten the belt and try again. And I'd do the reverse if it was a higher reading. At any rate, using this device I found that I had significantly under-tightened all of my drive belts. Since using this, I'm confident they are at the correct tension and I no longer have any squeals.

Es complicado de usar
Es un dispositivo pequeño, muy practico y comodo de cargar. No me gusto que es complicado de utilizar. Cumple su funcion perfectamente pero con margenes de error.

Easy to use and recommended by manufacturers.
Very easy to use! I work on aircraft with ac belts and some times it gets a little annoying trying to use other methods to measure belt tension. This tool works great, a must have for mechanics of all kinds. Also it was recommended by the ac manufacturer.
