Belt Tensioner ?

I know this might set off a firestorm.
But looking for opinions between the Esslinger and Needhp.com tensioner. They seem similar on the surface.

They are similar on the outside as far as appearance, but they are miles apart in construction! The post on the Esslinger pulley is WAY stronger.

The Esslinger one is great. I like their pulleys too.

I got one at Carquest 2 years ago. It is a 1 piece design.

Advance Auto = Dayco Timing component Part number 84000. $27.99. Been using one of these for five years with ZERO problems.

Same as TM 44, the 84000 from local parts store.

Saw on from Esslinger last night. Didn't take but 10 seconds to see I needed to buy one. Will be ordering one later today.
Nice piece!
