Review on Powerbuilt 648451 Serpentine Belt Tool by Julian Perkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED - Serpentine

OMG this tool is exactly what I needed. A long flat stem with a socket fits exactly where it needs to be on my Honda Accord. I had to provide a 14mm head as it was not included in the kit. It had a 14mm funnel but it didn't fit well on the bolt head due to the depth of the pulley. I had a 6 prong head, a 12 prong would make the job a little easier. This being the case, I had to poke the cowl support post out of the hole and hold the cowl with my other hand so I could pull well to unscrew the bolt head. Depending on how much your old belt has stretched, you may or may not need to do this. With all of this, replacing the V-ribbed belt and tensioner took about 20 minutes. It was really good work that would have taken much longer with a complicated combination of wrenches.

Pros
  • Adapter fits 8 different positions on the handle
Cons
  • So far so good
