The tool works, its probably all fine & dandy IF the goal is Max belt life, but if the goal is less belt squeal, put the bike in gear, pull it backwards to put tension on the top side of the belt, grab the bottom side of it 1/2 way between the pulleys, using 2 fingers & the thumb, twist. If its no great effort to get a 90* twist in it, youre pretty close. Different ideas of How much effort is right gives different tensions, but once you play with this method a while, youll get a feel for it & will be able to control belt noise with it.,
