Manual Tire Bead Breaker with Adjustable Hammer, Fit for 38 and 42 Inches Tires Changer, Easy-Operated Tire Repair Tool for ATVs, UTVs, Tractors, Trucks, Heavy Duty Tires Car Repair (Blue)

This thing is a large bead breaker. It's a beast. I would be careful about using this on a nice set of rims since the claw that keeps it against the rim would tear up a nice rim. I probably would try without using that claw and see if it can still push down on the bead. But for anything else, perfectly fine. If you change tires often enough, you need this. Breaking that bead is one of the worst parts of the process without a proper tool. Get it now.

Kind of tricky to use, maybe it takes some practice but the first time I went to use it I could not get it to work, it would just fold forward as I cranked down and eventually popped off the rim/tire. This was on a car tire which may have been the issue, this might be suitable for trailer, tractor, or lawn mower tires. Pretty neat idea and design though, could be also used for lifting or separating things.

Used this to break the bead on the tires on my F-350! The tires have a pretty stiff sidewall and this got the job done, so I can't complain. This is a very solid, well built tool (heavy) and should last a long time! Only 4 stars because this tool is all metal and if you're not careful could scuff up your nice wheels on the lip. I used an old inner tube for rubber to protect my rims.There are videos on line that show alternative ways to break the bead of a tire, and I kinda wish I would've tried those first with tools are already have (hydraulic jack).

The tire bead breaker by Polar Tangro / BestGe is made in PRC (china). This tool will scratch rims, as it scratched mine. I would not use this on aluminum rims. This tool does work, but some tires take more than just this tool to break the bead. I do not recommend this tool as it can take several attempts to get the bead to pop off. I did have a problem with the ATV tire I tried, as this bead tool was not strong enough.

This is a really big tool.Often the pics are deceiving, but not in this case.The pic where the guy is holding it does a good job of showing how big this thing is.I don't know how it is for fancy alloy rims, but I do tractors.Tractor rims ain't pretty so it doesn't matter if they get scratched up.The rear ones are really big and really hard to break loose. You wont do it with a tire iron and hammer no matter how long you beat on it.I haven't broken one with this yet, but I will be replacing the rear tires on my backhoe in a couple weeks, and I'll edit the review to reflect how this tool performed. The tires on the backhoe are a real challenge. They are 48" industrial tires and they are a bear to break down.From what I can tell so far, this is a good solid tool big enough to do what it's supposed to.

I used it on an F150 wheel but break the bead to replace a TPMS sensor. I could not get the device to grab the bead edge unlit I used a floor jack and the trailer hitch to sandwich the tire between in order to get the bead pulled low enough on the rim so the tool could actually grab the bead and push it until it broke loose. All in all, I definitely be needed this device because the jack and hitch method was not pushing the bead deep enough. Be careful though, I did scratch my rim as the tool clamps to the rim with a sharp chest. I placed a leather glove over the cleat for the second wheel and had no damage. The second wheel when much faster once I had a process figured out.

Gotta find its happy spot on aluminum, after that I did 8 tires in no time...I'm a mechanic and know a good tool,so better welds on tool would be great, otherwise awesome

With lawn equipment, tire valve stems are constantly getting broken off and damaged. I was tired of struggling to break the bead of the tire and install another stem. This tool made it easy - it broke the bead and opened the gap between the tire an rim so I could use a flexible valve replacement tool to pull in a new stem. Simple tool; well made and a major time saver.
