Review on πŸ”§ Stretch Fit Belt Tool Kit - Private Brand Tools PBT70990 by Committed Schmidt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This kit worked great - good value for money

The air conditioning compressor elastic strap on my sedan is very difficult to work with. The more common tensioning belt tool (Gates 91030 engine tool), which is actually a small cylinder with a screw, just won't work. It just didn't fit on the crankshaft pulley. I ended up driving without air conditioning for about a week because I had to quit that job. This kit was very easy to use - I was able to work with the belt itself with minimal effort and stress on the belt. If you look at the instructional DVD that came with this tool kit you will find that you turn the crankshaft pulley with a socket wrench. Before you begin, make sure you have a socket wrench that fits the crankshaft pulley center bolt. In my car it was 21mm which is larger than the largest head in most sets including my set of 200 Craftsmen heads. Luckily my nuts are also 21mm so I was able to use one of my nut bushings.
