Abstract: A tool is provided for accessing and handling a belt, such as a serpentine belt, that revolves around pulleys and gears on or in proximity to an engine in a vehicle. For example, the serpentine belt may be accessed, gripped, guided around the pulleys and gears, removed from the pulleys and/or gears and installed on the pulleys and/or gears by utilizing the tool. Further, is not limited to handling of the serpentine belt being utilized in the vehicles, and can be utilized for handling various other belts also.

Abstract: One embodiment of a tool for handling a serpentine belt may include a hollow pipe that may have a longitudinal opening configured at a distal end portion thereof. Further, the hollow pipe may include a first griping member and a sleeve member. The first gripping member may be configured at the distal end portion of the hollow pipe and may be projected outwards from the longitudinal opening. Moreover, the sleeve member may be configured at a proximal end portion of the hollow pipe. The tool may also have a rod that may be partially enclosed and slidably engaged with the hollow pipe. Further, the rod may include a second gripping member that may be configured at a distal end portion thereof in a parallel relationship with the first gripping member. The second gripping member may project outwards from the longitudinal opening. The tool may also have a handle member that may be configured at a proximal end portion of the rod.
