Lost $80 on a 'universal' serpentine belt tool that didn't fit anything
I bought one of those cheap adjustable belt tools from a parts store last week, thinking it would save me time on a bunch of different jobs. It ended up being too thick to fit in the tight spaces on a Honda Pilot and a Ford Ranger, so I had to go back to my old wrenches and wasted the money. Has anyone found a decent compact belt tool that actually works?

Universal tools are like unicorns... they sound great but you never actually see one work.

Eh, it's just eighty bucks. Tools come and go, you'll use it on something eventually.

That eighty bucks stings, I've been there. Barbarah19 is right about universal tools being a fantasy most of the time. You're better off with the right tool for the job, even if it means more wrenches in the box.
