  • good investment
This is a good investment for anyone. It eliminates waiting for long periods of time @ major tire centers while they totally ignore your business and think your tire replacements are not important. Then charge you a lot of money. Make sure the changer is bolted to the floor before use. Use pleanty of lub on the tire, soap and water.(mix liquid soap and water in a spray bottle,this is a must) Purchase a No-Mar Yellow thing or hand clamp to keep the tire beed from moving while your mounting and dismounting the tire...see No-Mar web site. This is good for Drag racers in changing their slicks. Be careful with light weight aluminum rims so you don't scratch the edge or bend the rim with the tire spoon they provide, use extreme care and patience.(15x14 & 15x3)Also place 3 or 4 shop rags over the lower pointed bead breaker to reduce scratches(Once mounted use xtra seal bead sealer around the edge of the tire..#14-101 for a tighter seal)also use metal valve stems for lasting results.(use only the bottom rubber seal and top metal ring on metal valve stems) Purchase the bubble balancer to go with this. I check some of my spun balance tires against it and it proved it's right on the money..can you believe that!!! Buy your tires on line with free shipping change and balance them your self and quit being a slave to the tire centers!! FYI;High performance cars with (15,16 & 17,18 ") rims are harder to seat the tire bead to the rim after mounting due to low profile tires and harder side walls, tire and rim width should be close to the same size. Also rubber valve stems work the best with these rims (small outside stem openings) use the rubber valve stem tool for this sold on line.(Gemplers) If your having a problem with mounting sometimes just going to a different location on the wheel/tire(sweet spot) will make a big difference. why? It changes the angle of the tire spool to the rim/wheel. Also with some wide tires and extra large rims(over 17") you may need another person to hold up the other side of the tire to seat the tire to the rim. (inflate the tire) Having a problem with inflation? After you have mounted the tire on the rim use the tire spoon and tap(push) the inside lower bead down all the way around as far as possible (push down on the upper inside to get to the lower inside) this will help seat the bottom bead, then pull up on the tire and inflate the tire ,pull the tire up to eliminate the gap in the top bead, the bottom bead should hold since you tapped(pushed) it downward. Once again be very careful with aluminum rims so not to bend, scratch up,break the lip off and totally damage it. Use all precautions to prevent this. Use duct tape over parts of the outside of the wheel where needed (Cobalt SS/plated/ polished rim) to prevent nicks and scratches, even on the tire iron end (spoon) if possible. Do not,do not,do not try to dismount the tire if it is not fully unseated from the rim all the way around, this will cause damage to aluminum rims. You should see the bead all the way around the tire when it is fully unseated from the rim. Try not use metal tire clamps on aluminum rims. (no-mar Yellow Thing for your tire clamp, maybe use more than one if needed) "You got this" ... show more

  • Strong right now... not sure about later.
There are many of these little gadgets at differing prices and specs. The first one I spotted was in the Harb**-Fr*ght catalog and it look OK then with a nice heavy base. This one I picked up from Amazon looked much like it and seem to be with the same style heavy cast looking base...Nope, it is the stamped style, still it handled my Jeep tires well... 15" and 16" and certainly, when bolt properly as the instructions say, it did a fine job. Only time will tell if it lasts the next four sets of tires I have planned to do. Also, this came with a Har...Fr...t instruction sheet. Important ingredient is a tire lube. Not WD40 or grease, only a tire compatible lube. You'll need it to remove and install. So how about putting the tire on? Well, I did find that the different shaped ends of the long handle/pry bar are not all useful. I found the long straight end was the most useful, but the shoulder end should face the bead. The stock finish is not helpful as it sheds during installation a could contaminate the bead from properly sealing. I've since buffed all of the paint off and highly polished it to ease the coaxing of the bead on. A helpful item to also assist in mounting is a smooth long rod about 1/4" by around 14". The rod is used to put the first bit of the bead on the rim and help hold it in place. It is also helpful to pull off the rim. Caution, while lifting or holding the bead, be careful that it not turn into a projectile if you slip. Also helpful is a wooden block about 2 inches wide and thick enough to keep the bead in the narrow of the rim allow the slipping of the bead... about 1 1/4 inches. Length that I use is about 6 inches and it works great with a simple wide wood clamp. You would wedge it in between the rim and the tire bead while installing. This worked with 15", 16" and 17" rims. Update: I found that it had a difficult time peeling the tires off an OEM Kia Sonata alloy. The flat bar stock of the bead breaker started to bend. I was able to complete the task of peeling all four tires. ... show more

  • why i bought it.
A friend who does a lot of construction yard work uses one of these and said it works for him. So I bought it as the price was right. Do not think for one second that this tool will break beads when the tire has been in place on a rim for 40 years as there will be rubber permanently on the rim ripped off the tire no matter how you do it. For that job I use a farm jack and the bumper of my jeep which still takes a lot of up and down work followed by wire brush on a 4.5 inch Makita angle grinder to remove the transferred rubber. For magnesium and aluminum rims you need to chemically soften the transferred rubber as the metal is too soft to safely power brush. minimum bill of fare for an otherwise awkward job. This is not going to make the job easy but it will make the job possible and greatly reduce the effort as well as the likelihood of injury. Do not expect the instructions to tell you how to get the job done as not all tires of the same specifications require the same methods. Example: Hankook tires are very flexible and install easily with minimal or no tools. but inflating them is another matter without some means of using gravity to get the second bead to pick up. Lincoln magnesium rims are also difficult for the same reason with any tire but the band method will work. This tool gets the rim high enough to allow the tire to drop to where the incline side of the rim to engage the tire bead. You will be hard pressed to do that on the garage floor and a band method will not work because the tire will simply buckle before expanding. ... show more
