Default Anyone want to buy a TB tensioner?

I bought one of these last week before I decided to go PorKen and Arnworx won't take returns. Brand new in box, never used, ice-cold and gluten-free:




$150 shipped, basically save $10+$10 shipping if you need one.

It seems like a well-built tool though I'm kind of put-out about the no-returns policy.

It's an aftermarket version of the 9201 belt-tension tool. It operates on the same principle as the Porsche tool, i.e. deflect the belt with a known pressure and measure the deflection.

I have no idea if it is any better or more accurate than a Kempf tool. Looks fancier, certainly.

P.S. mskar, you might also advertise it on the 944 forum, it was originally developed for 944 timing and balance belts.

Thanks for the tip, will do so if no one here can use it.
