I purchased this type of tire changing tool because I used one like it back in the 1950s when I worked in a filling station and changed a many a tire for people. This tool is not a high priced power tool and serves the purpose of changing 8 inch lawn mower tires and car tires. It is not designed for heavy 6 ply tires like used on a 3/4 ton truck, but works great with average car and small trailer tires 8, 12, 13, 14, 15, inch tires. The larger tires I would suggest taking to a tire shop for that job . This is a great machine I use here on the farm to take care of an occasional flat or just to replace a tire now and then. I laid out the size of the bottom by tracing around the base, drilled the holes in concrete and installed anchors and can remove the tool and set it back out of the way, then when needed I just set it over the outline on the floor and install the anchor lag screws to hold the tool and when finished remove the 4 lag screws and set the tool back out of the way until needed again. VERY HANDY AND RECOMMEND IT .

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.

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"

The really neat feature about this 'tool' is you will get a workout (and eventually you may actually get a tire changed). So remember you will receive the added benefit of the exercise it provides. So get off the couch - be sure to stretch and warm up (you may want to check with your doctor to see if you are healthy enough to engage in using this 'tool'). And then commence to fight the good-fight with your tire of choice. On a more serious note, here are some things I've learned. Lube is important. I bent my bar also - too dry - not enough lube. None-the-less, the bar pipe could be more substantial (heavier wall thickness). The bar tool ends - for removal and installation work well - contrary to other reviews. You CAN get the tire to stay on the tool end when you install - practice. Bead breaker - nicks up the rims somewhat - but it works. You need to pay attention to the tire as it is going on the rim and make sure the opposite edge of the tire is sitting in the 'center well' or the smallest diameter of the rim. This provides more slack. And this is an important detail. There is a reason why the tire shops have expensive hydraulic operated equipment. But don't let that stop you. Yes, you'll have to bolt this thing down to something heavy/concrete pad or heavy pallet. The problem with soap/water lube is it can rust steel rims - so I try to use sparingly. The special "snake-oil" tire changing lubes are very costly. So, I continue my quest for the optimal type (cost effective) and amount of lube - I have been resorting to dish soap/water. But I took the plunge and bought this tire changer, when I realized I could not take another afternoon sitting around waiting for some monkey's - with names on their shirts - to change my tires. And I just couldn't stand watching them nick up my alloy rims and trash my alloy wheel hub covers (and lose screws) while they bob their heads to the loud music and generally create mayhem with my vehicle and tires. Other advantages to this tool are - it is a no brainer that changing your own tires saves money (and can be faster then waiting around at the tire shop) - but also YOU are in control of protecting your rims (add rags or padding to the rim lock down). Could this tool be improved? - ABSOLUTELY. But it comes with a very low price. There are other much more expensive manual changers - this tool appears to represents the low end. None-the-less - with patience and practice - I manage to get my tires on and off and get some muscle 'pump' as well. Update March 2015 I've used this tool for mount/demount of about 10 tires. It is holding up. I'm glad I can control my destiny with tires changes. One thing I've discovered is I run my tires longer. When you pay for tire mounting (and there is no such thing as a 'free tire mount') - you have the tendency to dispose of tires before they are really worn out. For example, I can mount winter snows on the same set of rims and then remount my old summer tires in the spring. My past experience was even if tires were not worn out - paying to have a set mounted made no money sense. And of course, the shop would talk you into either buying another set of rims or into just disposing of the tires after they have been remounted ("yes, these tires are not completely worn out but we don't think they are worth remounting"). I now believe that having capability to mount/demount your own tires lets you make a much better decision as to when tires are worn out and should be replaced. Another thing I learned is the tire sidewall stiffness makes a big difference when 'breaking' the bead. The 'bead breaker' works by pushing on the sidewall of the tire sliding the bead off the rim. I have some small 12 inch tires with very supple sidewalls (Geo Metro) and they are very difficult to break beads. Yea, you can thrown all kind of lubricants at the bead - but they don't help me in bead breaking. How does a lubricant get under an airtight seal of a tire bead? It doesn't. Lubricant is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL for other tire mount and demount operations but not helpful for initial bead breaking. You push down on the tire sidewall and the only thing that happens is the tire sidewall deflects. I have found it easier to break the beads of the larger SUV/truck tires - you get much less deflection which puts much more pressure on the bead. Tires with stiff sidewalls work better for this type of bead breaker tool. Update January 2016 Recently I changed 2 snow tires on 12 inch wheels. Again, breaking the bead is a HUGE challenge. The bead breaker on this portable tire changer is not holding up well. The side straps for the bead breaker wedge are flexing and bending and I had to straighten them. The bead breaker tool is very light weight construction. And it is difficult to get much leverage with the bead breaker tool since it so low to the ground - your long lever bar will hit the ground. I spend maybe 20-30 minutes trying to break one tire bead and then about 1 minute to remove the tire. I have to make many, many attempts at bead breaking. Eventually I get some movement and I can then get the wedge located against the wheel rim. I believe with practice you can learn to mount and demount tires quickly (a few minutes). But I continue to be frustrated by bead breaking. I use a plastic mallet to drive the bead breaker wedge as close to the rim as possible. And when I think I have the bead breaker wedge located correctly, and I apply leverage, the tire sidewall flexes and the bead breaker wedge will slip out. Or perhaps this geometry of the bead breaker wedge does not work well for small diameter wheels? The curvature of the bead breaker wedge does not follow a 12 inch wheel diameter. The result is you only get pressure on a small area. It is critical to have the wheel at a precise distance from the center of the tire changer and the wedge tight under the wheel lip and as close to the rim as possible. So - as I mentioned previously, the bead breaker tool seems to work better on larger tires - like 14 inch on up. But mine is bending and flexing under pressure - it is not holding up.

This changer worked very easy, and just as nice a job as the tire shop. It does need to be lubed around the bead on the heavier tires. I first removed lighter car tires off rim's, then put in their place heavy truck mud and snow tired. So if you put a lube around the bead then the tire will come off and go on easy. i mounted the changer on a piece of 3/4 inch plywood about 30" by 40" using leg screws. Then I used long tent spikes about 12" long at each corner set at an angle and it held it as good as was needed. You could use mechanic soap to lube the tire bead's. Go slowly, and this changer works great !! It's well made, and the bar never bent either.

fresh out of the box, we tried to use it for the first tire, and the leverage bar bent! word of the wise, it's NOT solid steel! it's hollow and definately suseptable to bending. just the other day, we tried to use it for the second time, and the bead breaker bent too! in half!! not we have to make our own modifications to make their product work for us. if your serious about tire work, DO NOT buy this product. worse part is it was a gift for christmas. how embarrising is it that it proves how cheap the only two times it's ever been used. NOTE TO BUYERS: IF YOU PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY AND DO NOT DISCOVER IN THE FIRST WEEK THAT IT IS POORLY CRAFTED PRODUCT AND REQUEST A RETURN/REFUND, THE COMPANY WILL NOT HELP YOU!!! I AM A NASCAR DRIVER IN LAS VEGAS AND DEPEND ON RELIABLE EQUIPMENT, AND COMPANY'S TO PURCHASE FROM. I DO NOT RECOMEND THIS COMPANY! MY COMPLAINT IS NOT WITH AMAZON, IT IS WITH UCOSTORE. IT IS NOT A RELIABLE COMPANY. another addition: only after saying i would be leavingpoor feedback fortheir customer service, and my disappointment in their product, they finally made contact with me. they said TWICE that someone would be calling me. and both times no one called!

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.

I have done numerous changes with this tool and it works as well as can be expected. Don't buy this expecting it to be easy as it's not a power tool. Getting the tire off the rim works great. Getting it back on is tricky. The end of the tool meant for sliding the tire on does not work at all, it just slips out. I had to just pry it back on with the bar that comes with it AND another tire spoon that I bought separately. I have also had a problem with parts of the tool bending with too much pressure(I bent it back into place and it still works). Overall it works but I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons:It sould come with a tire spoon and the metal is not sturdy.
