## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this gauge be used for toothed belts, such as timing belts?**
A: Have used it on a 3/8 and 1/2 inch cog belts and seems to be ok measuring right on the cog. Have not used it for a toothed drive belt.

**Q: My 07 Infiniti m35 v6 manual requires this tool. However the service manual also tell me that belt needs to be 188-208 lbs. This tool maxes out at 180**
A: that 188-208 maybe new belt tension.  After you put on the new belt I think you get it to 188-208 lbs then run the engine for a few minutes to "seat" the bel. you should check your service manual.   With the Maxima a lot like the infinity Nissan publishes two different tension ranges.  One range 188-208  refers to new belts and the other range 164-184 is a retension range.  It's how much tension the belt will lose.I think the tool is the right choice for you.

**Q: Is this tool plastic or metal?**
A: The one I got was all metal.

**Q: Does this gauge read 30-180 inch pounds? Because the picture shows something different.**
A: Yes, 30-180 lbs, not inch pounds.

*by A***O on July 25, 2025*

When I first started, the Sears automotive tech technician instructor told us that we needed one of these. Well after five years of ignoring that great advice I finally bought one and realized that I have been a moron and I should’ve bought one five years ago.
