Took me 3 years to realize I was over-tightening dryer belt tensioners

Kept getting callbacks on dryers where the belt snapped after 6 months. A dude at a supply house in Phoenix asked if I was using a tension gauge. I wasn't. Fixed the issue on the next 5 jobs. Anyone else skip a basic step for way too long?

Wait, you fixed it by just getting a gauge?

Ngl I just used the "that feels tight enough" method for way too long.
