Can this gauge be used for toothed belts, such as timing belts?

Have used it on a 3/8 and 1/2 inch cog belts and seems to be ok measuring right on the cog. Have not used it for a toothed drive belt.

My 07 Infiniti m35 v6 manual requires this tool. However the service manual also tell me that belt needs to be 188-208 lbs. This tool maxes out at 180

that 188-208 maybe new belt tension. After you put on the new belt I think you get it to 188-208 lbs then run the engine for a few minutes to "seat" the bel. you should check your service manual. With the Maxima a lot like the infinity Nissan publishes two different tension ranges. One range 188-208 refers to new belts and the other range 164-184 is a retension range. It's how much tension the belt will lose.I think the tool is the right choice for you.

Does this gauge read 30-180 inch pounds? Because the picture shows something different.

Yes, 30-180 lbs, not inch pounds.

Well made

Works great for getting belts to the correct tension. It's very easy to use, just kind of bulky so it can be hard to get it in tight areas. You can leave it on the belt while adjusting the tightness, making it really easy to get it to the right tension. s
