elcamino/wheelhorse 9,360 #2 Posted June 7, 2016 It moved so fast on the smaller tires I could not tell what it was doing. Bet it is not cheap. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've not researched it yet, but I'd bet you are right. Probably big $$! Just googled it. About $550 up to $900+, I see. Edited June 7, 2016 by TDF5G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My cousin owns a tire business near me. I sent him the video. He's always buying the latest new-fangled gadgets. Maybe he'll get one and then I can borrow it! I showed him a video of a hydraulic flaring tool once and he ordered it the next day. It's pretty nice! Edited June 7, 2016 by TDF5G 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 42,259 #8 Posted June 7, 2016 I don't see $700+ in that tool. I works great but what a bone head. If he had used an impact socket instead of a chrome one the gun wouldn't have had to work as hard and the expensive tire tool wouldn't get beat up as quick. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midpack 956 #9 Posted June 8, 2016 Nice but kind of limited. The beads are already broken and that thing isn't going to help mount the new tire. that's not to say I wouldn't want one in my garage 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coadster32 793 #10 Posted June 8, 2016 Wonder if an aluminum rim will hold up to that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This would be a great tool for tire guys that do service calls. I've seen those guys out on the road or hot parking lots changing all 10 tires on a truck. The steer tires they will usually change with the wheels mounted on the truck. Here's a bead breaker made by the same company. 15 hours ago, midpack said: Nice but kind of limited.

It's quite an expensive tool for dismounting only. Edited June 8, 2016 by TDF5G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
