Are both the force and deflection scales etched into the body of the tool, or are the markings on applied labels?

Sadly the description is misleading.. The scale on both the tension and deflection are stickers... Depending on how many belts you tension per year if it is heavily used you might get a year of use..

are the inches of span graduations and pounds graduations etched into the metal or are they stickers? thanks in advance

They are stickers. Not etched. They can wear off. If they are used extensively I have had the numbers wear off.

Does it come with a chart with the proper tension for a belt?

It does.. I would suggest getting a set of sheave and belt gauges to go along with it.

It is the scale marking to be painted or engraved instead of paper sticker?

The tension checker has an imprinted scale for span length and scale for force to depress the belt. The paper included gives recommend settings for the O-rings on the checker.

Works as advertised

I got this primarily for tensioning the belt on my wood chipper. It has worked great for this, and based on my experience using it, I believe it should work well in most circumstances, as long as you have adequate access to position it correctly.

PAY A LITTLE EXTRA AND GET THE ACCURACY WITH BROWNING BRAND

WORKS VERY WELL AND PERFORMS AS EXPECTED. IF YOU USE ONE YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT EASE OF USE AND SIMPLICITY IS. MADE IN THE USA IS A PLUS. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE GATES TENSION CHECKER THOUGH DUE TO THEIR POOR ASSEMBLY, O-RINGS MISSING AND MADE IN CHINA WORKMANSHIP (OR LACK THERE OF).

Good and fast shipping

Great product but the scale is a sticker and it has already started peeling off. So a measuring tape can be used instead.
