Thought you were thanking me for a minute there - didn't know for what though. I bought the Blazack tool because it was recommended here. It works fine, but I have since decided that there is not much difference between that and the Kricket. His tool does come marked with the correct values for your 944, though.

I use 28lbs for the balance belt and 35lbs. for the cambelt on the Kriket.
At the 944 Fest we set the belts with a 9021 and then cross checked them with the Kriket. The results were very consistent.

well, I'm looking at a Kricket right now and the scales read from 0-70 kg or 0-150 lbs.

So what settings am I supposed to read off this tool for my belts?
