Gates Stretch Fit Belt Installation Tool

The Gates Stretch Fit Belt Installation Tool line gives technicians and DIY mechanics the correct tool for mounting Stretch Fit (Micro-V stretch) serpentine belts. Stretch Fit belts have no tensioner and are stretched onto the pulleys during installation. Installing one without the proper tool can damage the belt, so Gates offers these tools as a separate purchase.

Key Features:

• Designed to help install Stretch Fit belts on certain applications
• Helps prevent belt damage during installation
• Reusable, so you don't need a new tool each time a belt is installed
• Installation instructions are available online at Gates.com
• Sold separately from the belt, unlike the single-use tools that come with some OE belts

Each tool in the line is engineered for a specific Stretch Fit drive system. Pick the tool that matches the belt application you are working on. Gates is a long-standing OE-grade supplier of belts and drive-system components, and the line supports a safer, more accurate belt installation.
