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.

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.
