95% sure you can loan this out from AAP/Oreilly's/Autozone. As long as you bring them back, no charge. Unless you're changing belts often, much better option.

Can you do it without this tool? Probably, it depends on the car and the amount of clearance you have.

But this set can turn a potentially long frustrating job into a quick and enjoyable 5-minute experience.

Then there's all those times that you need to change something that the belt drives.

Bought this during an extreme sale at (I can't remember) a few years ago, put it in my toolbox, and you guessed it ... haven't used it once. This is one of those tools that you use every 5-10 years (unless you are a mechanic) but are glad you did.

There is some inherent value in this kit, as it doubles as a pass-thru socket set. The included crowsfeet is also a bonus if you don't already own some.

Like any serpentine belt kit - it's a niche tool that you'll rarely find yourself using - but in the odd event you have tight clearance, it'll be worth its weight.

If you wanted to take it a step further, the updated version [amazon.com] has the locking flex adapter for the pass-thru sockets, which increases its versatility by some.

I just use a long neck ratchet no need for this. Chevy makes it simple. The hardest part of this job is making sure you follow how to install serpentine belt back.

Also making sure they give you the right belt length.

Wish I had this recently while working on a Mazda.

The straight bar from HF would not grab from the right angle, as it only has a square head.

Ended up having to use a long wrench and a ratcheting tie down strap.

Is this worth paying extra for over this $19.99 HF one?

That one comes in handy on Honda/Acura, where there is no clearance - you have to grind the socket (height) down. Downside is the welded 3/8 square-drive never seems to offer bar angle clearance.
I was considering the "low profile" socket kits (like from Sunex, which offer in impact black), but I bought this for versatility.

Since when do you need specialty tools to remove a serpentine belt? Been changing belts with an open ended wrench for 25 + years on a multitude of vehicles.

Can confirm. Loaned this from AAP once. They didn't even give me a time frame for the return. No charge.

time it takes to run to the parts store (twice!) easily pays for this, you probably aren't buying your parts from a box store anymore if you are on this site.

tool boxes are for storing tools, if the space is valuable need a bigger box

funny watching people come up with reasons not to buy stuff. thru hole socket comment is a good point, as are crows.

Lisle 43300 is handy too, cheaper knock-offs at the usual spots as well. Happy wrenching

well from my experience all you need is the correct sock and a breaker bar or a 1/2" ratchet correct socket and a piece of pipe. I have worked on dozen of different cars and have never needed this kind of specialty tool. That being said it would be an easy search on google to see what you need for your car and if you plan on working on cars alot then this is a very good buy.

I've usually connect two wrenches. Once you figure out the right sizes it's pretty easy.

Many auto parts stores will also rent you the tool. You pay for it and get your money back when you're done using it. If you're getting your belt from the parts store anyway, you might as well snag the tool.

While having a purpose built tool is even easier and DIY on the belt will pay for it, it doesn't seem worth it to me to keep this around waiting to be used again 3-4 years later.
