Gear Wrench Serpintine Belt Tool
http://www.gearwrench.com/catalog/specialty_tools/serpentine_belt_tool/beautyshot.jpg
Where I got mine: Sears
Price: 59.99
What I like: Infinately indexible, means there is never an unaccessable angle to get onto a tensioner
What I dislike: Substantially wider than other serp. belt tools, makes it harder to get into tighter spaces
My thoughts: I love my serp. belt tool. I have used it to r&r struts when I couldnt get a deep ratchet onto the stud, and a short socket wouldnt get on the bolt. I like the infinately indexible nature of the gear wrench, it makes it easier to get around hoses that might be in the way on most transverse and some longitudinal engines (Can we say the damn Ford trucks???). I dont really like the fact that it is deeper than other serp belt tools on the market and it is more expensive than competitors. Overall I would give it a 3.5 out of 5
