Default Thoughts on the Arnn Worx belt tensioner....

Anybody use this item?, I know if it's like any of his other products - it should be of very high quality. If so, did you like it? Was it relativly easy to use?

I am borrowing one from a member on the Pelican forums, i hope it arrives sometime before this weekend. From what he has said its pretty simple to use, all it requires is a torque wrench that measures inch / lbs.

I should be home thursday or friday to give my impressions of it.

I'm waiting to hear... helping my friend do his belts, preparatory to doing mine, but though he's also got the auto-tensioner, he got the Optibelt... so we may both be in the situation of needing the Arnworx tool. I'm glad to hear people seem to be satisfied with his other tools (since we'll be needing the pin wrench too).

The other tools are great quality. In particular the pin wrench. Its held up pretty well the the abuse of prying back the spring tensioner (which takes alot of force).

I found that installing the pointer on the cam belt (it requires pinching the belt together on each side of the cam sprocket) was a PITA. I appreciate what he is trying to do but to be honest, I have gone back to the krikit.
