Which one in particular? Seems they are for V belts...Frank,
Of the various Krikit models, use only the KR-1. And read the POUNDS scale.

Yes, it's made for V-belts. But it gives consistent, repeatable readings on the 9XX timing belt. Not the same number values as on the more expensive Burroughs gauge, but they correlate consistently. As stated in Msg #4:

Gates Racing Blue Belts, HTD & Trapezoidal
On a cold engine, with the crank set to TDC:

83-85 on a Burroughs gauge (BT-33-86J, or BT-33-73F)
34-35 on a Krikit KR-1 (use the POUNDS scale).

McMaster-Carr's price for the Burroughs is scary-high. Google Burroughs BT-33-73F. You can do much better.
