Gates TL301 Stretch Fit Belt Installation Tool

The Gates TL301 is a professional-grade Stretch Fit belt installation tool engineered specifically for use with Gates Stretch Fit (elastic) accessory drive belts. Stretch Fit belts are designed for engines that do not use a tensioning device, and they require a dedicated installation tool to seat properly without risk of damage.

Key Features:

• Designed exclusively for proper installation of Gates Stretch Fit elastic accessory belts
• Prevents belt damage that can result from improper installation techniques
• Eliminates the need for makeshift tools or improvised methods during belt replacement
• Reusable tool — available separately so technicians are not forced to purchase a new tool with every belt
• Built to Gates' world-class quality standards for professional and DIY use

Using the correct installation tool is essential when working with Stretch Fit belts. Attempting to install these belts without the proper tool can stretch, nick, or otherwise damage the belt, leading to premature failure. The Gates TL301 ensures a safe, efficient, and professional installation every time.
