I am trying to create a new solution to this since it doesn't seem like getting the actual tool is an option anymore. I figured I should start here and look at what has been done. I'll post my progress once finished!

Not sure I follow your comment? The original tool is indeed available these days, though the price makes it impractical for most DIYers. Our Carpokes tool faithfully reproduces the factory tension level and is available as a free download to print yourself, or as a $40 purchase fully assembled and ready to use.

Sorry if it's been asked before: the 3D printed tools can be used on other vehicle belts correct?

It's designed to work on 8-valve 944 timing belts. No real way to use it only anything else...
