Really neat! …but you’re going to tank the value of my factory tool! 🤣

This is going to be Epic! While I love my 3d Printed tool this will be way cooler to show off at the car show!

:lol: Now there's a use case I had not considered. Maybe I should offer them in Gold or Sterling Silver!

Very cool tool. I may be interested as well. Add it to my stash of one time use tools

I'm holding off on retensioning until this is available. I had a new belt installed by the long standing (and ready to retire) shop about 2K miles ago. Hurry Tom, hurry!

I suspect I need one, Tom. I have the 9201, a copy of the original 928 twist-and-shout spring version, and obviously need a digital one to round out the collection. Put my name in the bucket please. Low priority since I just recently completed my most recent belt saga.

Thanks!

Bob

Still fine-tuning the machining and software. Hope to have it ready to go by the fall. :)
