a little fiddly
This handly little tool works fine once you learn how to use it properly, but is highly susceptible to "false" readings due to the way it works. I've more or less stopped using it, and go with my own assessment of correct tension (pretty easy to gauge once you've felt what a properly tensioned belt feels like). I do pull it out occasionally to check the tension and justify the expense of having it in my toolbox.
Pros: Works once you learn how to use it correctly
Cons: can be very fiddly and unpredictable, sometimes requiring multiple uses to ensure accuracy of reading.
