No doubt it's a nice tool to have, but ever since Arnnworx.com came out with the whole kit and caboodle belt and roller servicing package, including the special wrenches, 920X tensioning tool, flywheel lock, selling you the whole shebang for roughly the same investment as the factory tool alone, the P9201 ha pretty much been relegated to collector item status.

Luis, that is great news. I guess my P9201 is worth more now since its a collectors item

Yes, as long as you have all the other stuff that's needed to do belts and rollers.

The "problem" is you can't get all those tools plus the P9201 for ~US$350-400 the tool itself sells for. Heck, many people just use the Krikit. Only diehard collectors like yourself make that kind of investment for just the tool!

I have been using the Arnnworx tools for 5 years now on 4 different cars. Not a single problem. The new set is far better than the kriket. I used the kriket several times and it is cumbersome at best.

P9201 is pretty much a waste and over hyped tool, now that the new Arnnworx tools are available.

I think only paid members get that option. You could be registered with rennlist and still not be a paid member.

Does anyone know what the calibration bar costs by itself?

What is that tool for anyways?
And should I buy something similar?
Where can I get this "Arnnworx" tool set?
