Gates has revealed a list of the most popular selling sets of timing belt tools.
The ‘professional tools range’ was developed by Gates for synchronous belt drive system (SBDS) repair specialists.
The drive systems manufacturer hopes the list will help workshops avoid comebacks after installation.
Gate say most premature belt drive systems failures result from installation errors caused by the use of tools that are inappropriate for the job.

As an original equipment belt manufacturer, Gates has developed its range of tools to the same high standards; giving installers extra confidence that the tools are the best match for the job.
That means the tools are more likely to be used, says the company and comebacks are less likely.
The Gates professional tools range also includes re-usable stretch fit tools (SFT).
These are specifically for the installation of ‘elastic’ belts on accessory belt drive systems (ABDS) that have been designed without tensioners.
