The one I bought from FCP a couple of years ago (2008-ish?) has a round hole for the stud, not the correct slotted hole. This renders it impossible to use in the correct manner, because without the slot you cannot slip it over the tensioner stud. It can be successfully misused, however, as I've done several timing belts with it. Not sure if I just got a defective one or if they had an entire MFG run done improperly.

Bought the IPD version recently, hoping to upgrade. Have not yet used it, but it is the same lightweight model used with grief by the OP.

I really need to find someone with the grinding/drilling equipment to open up the hole on the FCP tool so I can use it correctly. It is very robustly made.
