I have no problem finding Snap-on trucks when I'm driving around. I just keep any tools needing warranty in my truck and stop when I spot one.

Ctuai gets a **** for that Hilti. Sweet machine.

Deflection is a function of belt size, and distance. Does your calculation include both? Also check pulley runout.
