If your vehicle needs more than a simple wrench or breaker bar to relive the belt tension, I'd maybe buy this cheap set first to see if it'll work for your application before spending $35 on the full-blown Gearwrench set that'll work on practically anything.

Free 90 day loan at Autozone for a similar tool! The set was missing the tip for my bolt, but fortunately I had that one.

Really cannot speak highly enough of Autozone's tool loan program. What an amazing deal!

I've used 3 or 4 of their loaner tools over the years. Zero issues!

that's pretty cool. I change a serpentine belt *maybe* once every 10 years and my shop is already filled with tools that I actually use...so I'd prefer not to have to buy this

Very useful tool. I wish I had this when I needed it. My hand slipped off the wrench and I punched the head of a bolt so hard in between the knuckles. It felt amazing.

Serpents can't wear belts, they don't even wear pants.

The serpentine belt goes around many other components that may need service in less than 10 years, like the crankshaft pulley, belt tensioner, idler pulleys, A/C compressor, water pump, alternator, power steering pump, etc.

You still need to take the belt on and off to service those things.

So when the car breaks down, you hop in a Loaner car and drive to the auto parts store and Hope they actually have this tool in stock to Loan you so you can repair the broken vehicle? Got it.

POS tool. I used it once and it broke. The drive part is cheaply spot welded to the handle and broke off.

Get a breaker bar and add your socket.

I don't see how people are comparing this to gearwrench or other like ratchets when this is $15 and those are closer to $50. If you need to use this type of tool all the time, then yeah, swing for the Gearwrench. But if you're a hobbyist like me, $15 for something I'll use once every 5 or so years to save me two trips to autozone can't really be beat, especially with HFs warranty.

The Gearwrench will often fit and get the job done, where the Pittsburgh fails. It really depends on the vehicle and the available access to the tension pulley, so buy the cheapest one that works for your application. And the Gearwrench set is only $35

The deal above links to $36, but that is for select accounts. Still $52 for me.
