I am very impressed with Gates belt tools. I was working on a recurring belt failure on a 2009 Toyota Venza equipped with a 1AR-FE 4 cylinder engine. An other dealer had put multiple belts on this vehicle for shredding for 45,000 miles. I put a belt on not knowing the prior history and the new belt immediately began to separate. I took all the pulleys off to visually inspect and I couldn't find any defect. There were no signs of collision repairs and I asked the customer if any mechanical or body work were ever performed to the vehicle, he said there were not other than the belts. I found the belt was "walking off" the water pump pulley. I needed an accurate way to inspect pulley alignment and there was no way to use a straight edge in the tight area of this vehicle. I read about this laser tool in a professional trade magazine and having had bought the Gates Krikit tool nearly 20 years ago and it is as accurate as the more expensive belt tension tools, so I knew of the quality and reliability of Gates tools. With the laser tool I was able to pinpoint the root cause to a bent a/c compressor mounting bracket and fix the car right the first time I worked on the car. I highly recommend this tool for hard to diagnose and preventative inspections as well.
