Review on ๐Ÿ”ง OTC 7425 Stretch Belt Service Set: The Ultimate Solution for Easy and Efficient Maintenance by Robb Fillmore

Revainrating 3 out of 5

In my experience tensioning belts have never been a good idea to start with

later. Stretch bands have never been a good idea in my experience. Removing the straps with a puller is easy. Putting them back on every time was a nightmare. I once borrowed an installer from a colleague and ended up breaking it in half. I don't know whether this is user error or poor tool quality. I had to buy him a new set. I then watched as a colleague with over 50 years of experience broke two of the stretch straps trying to fit them to a late model Mustang. I haven't had a chance to try different types of removal/installers, but this one gets the job done in the end. The remover works perfectly. Maybe a different installer design would have made the tool worth the money.
