Scored Big Time on eBay!

I just bought one of these puppies:



Gearwrench #3680 Serpentine Belt Tool Kit

It was BRAND NEW and I only paid $41.50 shipped. Gotta love that 25% off Live.com discount.

I can't wait to try it out. Does anyone else have one?

What kind of tool do you guys use to change your serpentine belt?

I had one of those, in fact it looks like the exact same one. I hate gimmicky tools, this was one of the few that delivered, if you enjoy working on cars or do it to make a living this is one speciality tool I recommend.

One other thing Mike, don't think this tool is only useful for doing belts, I think I used mine in more non-belt related jobs then belt related jobs. The offset angle this gives is very unique and is helpful getting in many places a regular socket or wrench won't.

Reminds me of my favorite wrench set....my pass-thru ratchet.

Good tools cleanse the soul.

Offset wrench. I used it all the time on an old 3.3l Olds V6, I could swap out the alternator in 5min on that bish. Thing went through alternators so regularly that I kept one in the trunk with the requisite tools.

My first car was a ciera with a 3.3 and the thing was going through everything regularly.
