I bought this and ended up returning it. The "BeadBuster" brand is smaller and works so much better, plus you can use them on aluminum wheels. BeadBuster's cost just a little more, but you "pay once cry once".
@randomstuffwithnofluff7472 I have no trouble with these. I use an old glove when I have a nice wheel. These are cheap and work dandy fine for me. Big thing is cheap. My tools live in my service truck. Not exactly secure.
I can tell you for a fact it did it and did it well. Get some Joe's bead lube from oriles. Put it in a spray bottle and use that as you work the tire. Just go a little at a time. Going in the morning to break down a 14x28 tractor tire using mine.
@kendalgee5808 Not in this case. In this case I have air hoses out already. My tools live in my service truck full time. That air ratchet cost $24 at harbor freight. And those breakers are rated for a 3/8 air ratchet with less than 50 pound feet of torque. That's why this is absolutely perfect for this application.
I didnt even know harbor frieght had bead breakers, thats awesome, thanks.
Fairly new product. A little over a year I think. Excellent investment for Harbor Freight.

Don't know if this will work on a golf cart tire (8") that's practically welded to the rim with rust.

Why do it in a big mud hole?
Because the calcium chloride is ultra nasty. Had about 60 gallons of a blinding burning liquid to get out of the tire before I could fix it.
Air ratchets are outdated. A cordless Milwaukee hammer wrench M18 or Hercules from HF will work.
