  • This tool is great
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 . ... show more

  • the changer appears to be heavy duty enough for golf cart wheels and tires.
this changer will be perfect for doing small tire and wheel change overs. i'm working with people that sent me the changer over a important missing part. they seem to be working with me and will upgrade their review when i have received the required missing part. i'm sure its not the shippers fault and the manufacture was in a hurry on a friday to go do whatever. i'm guilty of the same thing. i was in shipping and receiving and later QC. if there were any changes to this tool it would go as follows: the base 4 legs would be thicker material and welded together to make a stronger foot, the base meets the foot would be thicker as well making the whole base a stronger 2 the foot-base. and add c-channel to the bead break push bars as they flex and become bent and unusable on hard the break tire beads, and last but not least a plastic/or hard rubber cover for the spider tube for aluminum/chrome wheels same for the base of the wheel mounting plate. all shis is worth an extra $50... well i received the part needed. all is good now. just as a side note, no-one gets 5 stars unless the product is perfect, and i'm hard to please. upgrading to 4 stars for them keeping their word to make this tool complete. but my recommendations stand as they are. ... show more

  • Easier than it looks
This thing is awesome. I put a 16" LT tire on it and the tire came right off. It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. The only trouble I had was filling the tire with air afterwards. I found that pushing down on the tire to try and seat the bottom bead and the pulling up a bit to close the gap between the rim and the tire bead works well. My bar bent a bit. I will buy another piece of pipe and weld it over this one to make it a bit stronger. Other than that the machine works great. I already made back my money back with my first tire change on my van. ... show more

  • I think this thing is a home exercise apparatus disguised as a tire changer
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. ... show more
