## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are both the force and deflection scales etched into the body of the tool, or are the markings on applied labels?**
A: Sadly the description is misleading.. The scale on both the tension and deflection are stickers... Depending on how many belts you tension per year if it is heavily used you might get a year of use..

**Q: are the inches of span graduations and pounds graduations etched into the metal or are they stickers? 
thanks in advance**
A: They are stickers.  Not etched.  They can wear off.  If they are used extensively I have had the numbers wear off.

**Q: Does it come with a chart with the proper tension for a belt?**
A: It does.. I would suggest getting a set of sheave and belt gauges to go along with it.

**Q: It is the scale marking to be painted or engraved instead of paper sticker?**
A: The tension checker has an imprinted scale for span length and scale for force to depress the belt. The paper included gives recommend settings for the O-rings on the checker.

*by C***4 on January 18, 2019*

I got this primarily for tensioning the belt on my wood chipper. It has worked great for this, and based on my experience using it, I believe it should work well in most circumstances, as long as you have adequate access to position it correctly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best I could find for the price
*by J***N on December 1, 2018*

Work's great. Yeah it's a sticker but it's holding up well for now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for light use
*by A***R on December 29, 2023*

Overall this product appears to do exactly as it was intended for. I will say that because the numbers aren’t etched into the side of the tool and instead have a sticker showing them, if you intend to use this tensioner regularly, you will be disappointed when the sticker falls off. For someone who needs this tool for regular use, spend the money and find one with etched numbers.
