BELT TOOL SERPENTINE AND ACCESSORIES Review

BELT TOOL SERPENTINE AND ACCESSORIESFirst, as of July 23, 2007) the picture in Amazon.com is very incorrect.It is showing a single-piece tool that is not related to working with a serpentine belt tensioner as described here.Do a web-search for Lisle 57900, and you will find other sources that show the main bar (nothing like the tool shown), two extension bars, and six socket or drive attachments.

That much said, I was stumped with this repair procedure without a tool like this.For my Chevy Cavalier, (transverse-mount 2.2L engine), there's no room to get a regular 3/8" socket driver onto the tensioner. There's about 1 inch of space from the surface of the tensioner to the tire well.And it's tight just to get down to it. Although this 57900 does not have a ratchet head (like the Blue Line Snap-on version), the multi-position extension bars should make this job possible, and manageable.

I was in a hurry, so I ordered it from a different source.If I had a spare few days, I would have contacted the seller to either get the picture corrected, or the description corrected. the 57900 is a fine tool, but who knows what you will get, from this Amazon ad. Lisle 57900 Serpentine Belt Tool

CPS Products MA1234 Pro-Set Aluminum Block Manifold A/C Gauge Set with Hoses Review

CPS Products MA1234 Pro-Set Aluminum Block Manifold A/C Gauge Set with HosesI'm very pleased with this gauge and hose set. The large dials are easy to read. The quality of the hoses is very good. Having valves on the block is essential for AC evacuation and the cut-offs on each fitting insures you maintain vacuum. Highly recommend this product.
