I heard Contitech or Gates are to be used but is this Laser one any good? Certainly looks like the one in vid  :-\

Contitech and Gates are the make of timing belt and tensioner kits recommended.There are several brands of locking/setting kit.Sykes Pickavant is probably the most popular,but the only one it is recommended not to use is Laser. At least some of the Laser kits are known to be innaccurate.
