Abstract
A system for alignment of a pulley system and a method of use are provided. A laser alignment tool includes an arcuate front surface having a target pattern of parallel vertical lines. The tool is provided with a laser light source that projects a laser light beam through an aperture in the front surface. A pair of laser alignment tools may be mounted on two pulleys of a pulley system such that the laser light beams are displayed on the target pattern of the opposite laser alignment tool. In the event of a misalignment, the laser light beams displayed on the target patterns do not align with the vertical lines thereon. A user may adjust the pulleys so that the laser light beams produced by each laser alignment tool are aligned with the vertical lines of the opposite laser alignment tool to achieve alignment of the pulley system.
