Looking to rent/borrow/buy either tensioning tool.
Based in/around Jacksonville, Florida. Occasionally in coastal North Carolina.
Haven’t seen anyone actively lending these out, and I’m not a fan of doing belts by feel or krikit.
Tom’s 3D printed tool works beautifully, but I would love to have a tool for both.

I'm gearing up again on the digital tension tool. Still a few months out, but there's light at the end of the tunnel (I think).Nyx_944 wrote: Thu Mar 12, 2026 6:01 pm Looking to rent/borrow/buy either tensioning tool.

I'm at the point where I should check tension on the new install. If I wait for this then I can check the balance belt too. So I'll be waiting ... patiently, for nowTom wrote: Thu Mar 12, 2026 8:17 pmI'm gearing up again on the digital tension tool.
