Default Ebay adjustable belt tensioner any good?

There is an adjustable ls1 belt tensioner made by Lsx innovations on ebay that sells for $50

Anybody have experience with this brand?

I would rather buy this one for half the price of the katech tensioner.

By the way, this is an ls2 engine, but im using all my ls1 accesories.

I kept throwing belts with my unknown brand under drive pulley and loose factory belt tensioner.

He​​​re is the ebay link to the manual belt tensioner.

Buy it from these guys. Great to deal with and if you have questions or problems, you can call and they will help you. Plus itis a few bucks cheaper and made right at their own facility.

I did my whole belt set-up with their stuff. Looks nice and works perfectly for about 1/3 the cost. I had an issue with spacers. I called them up and they shipped me bolts and spacers 2 days later.

Did you have an issue with bolts and spacers just for the tensioner? Or was it something else?

I didnt see on this on their site, but do they have a billet power steering pulley?

Actually, it was the alternator. I mix and matched 3 different "kits" and there was an offset issue. I had no problem at all with the manual adjuster.
