Completely stupid and risky idea. After all the rubber has degraded enough that the belt was swapped out from its original use and purpose. It therefore has no tinsel strength and has stretched out because of its original usage. It is just a matter of time before complete failure and either serious or catastrophic injury. Just a bunch of Clowns and Knuckleheads would attempt to do something like this. And I do not care if you can post pics of them being used in such a fashion. It is still freakin...

Another unasked for opinion without any real experience. Complete with insults. Can you not state your position without name calling?

I'll ask you the same question I asked Kevin earlier; why is your inexperienced opinion more important than other people's actual experiences?

What makes you so sure that the belts are outside their useful life? What was their source? In other words, how did you arrive at that opinion? Like you did the other one?

To be perfectly honest, you know NOTHING of the condition or tensile strength of these belts.

Just to be clear here; I have not defended this use of these belts. I am just asking for people's REAL WORLD experiences with them. Good and bad. And it seems that the only people that are afraid of using serpentine belts to lift and pull are the ones that have no experience doing it what so ever. And they are also the same people that appear compelled to call names and sling insults.

Opinionated rants do not convince anyone of anything. That is just arguing, not sharing information.

Oh, and why did you capitalize clowns and knuckleheads?

I put CLOWNS and KNUCKLEHEADS in caps because it is quite evident that only those types of "Jerry Rigging" individuals will try such a maneuver. I think you answered that yourself by your other posts. Need I say more

Limited vocabulary, inability to comprehend, erroneous assumptions, ignorant assertions, and improper punctuation.

You do not need to say more.

But I bet you will.............

I loose that bet.... Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!!!! I just re-read your comments about my lack of and having a limited vocabulary, inability to comprehend, erroneous assumptions, ignorant assertions, and improper punctuation. The last one really caught my eye. One might want to check his own statements out before asserting their perfection in the writing and comprehension skills. Seems that one might want to procure some much needed remedial education to that implied synopsis...

It's all in good fun until you lose an eye... or foot.

I for one don't take anything too seriously except the wealth of experience and willingness to help around here. I think this thread went from answering the question to an honest debate to screwing around a while ago!

I totally agree. May be I was being somewhat over baring about my position but I am always quite concerned about "Safety" and doing things in that manner is all. Using items outside their intended use has always seemed rather dangerous to say the least. Do you think a retraction would help????
