This model is different from what you see in other places since it has a protective rubber pad on the front hook that keeps from scratching the face of your aluminum wheels.

I've been doing homework about these bead breakers from different brands as a DIY for about a week now and haven't found a solution yet. One very important thing I've realized that if you force the bottom feet of this breaker too much in between the rim and the tire, it will scatch inside of the wheel. In the future, there will be a potential corrosion inside of the wheel causing bead air leak.
In the end, you mentioned about the pads for the bottom feet and I totally agree with that; however, I couldn't find any aftermarket accessories for that.
I agree. I think that this one is the closest you'll get to being protected with the padded finger, but some additional protection on the lower parts would be great just like you said. Maybe if the pushing foot was made out of nylon or something like that it would be possible. I also thing having a curve would help with the issue as well.
Thanks man for testing on 3 wheels b/c I don't see anyone doing so. Wear PPE at all times b/c I can tell impact wrench stress out too ! 👍
Harbor Freight sells a similar tool that I'm evaluating. Because it takes 2 hands to use , some sort of power tool is required to use it. It has nylon thrust washers that don't seem like they will last , so I'm looking into needle bearings instead.
If you take valve cores out, it will be much easier to push tool under lip of wheels
Every tire had the valve core removed. The tool is on the top right of the table.
When I do something like that I use a huge sea cland I put it on the tire itself and I squeeze the tire down and then I put my beat Buster on there.
Great idea!😊
I had to break the bead on my farm tractor and just used my Dodge Ram truck, Scissor Jack. I laid the tractor tire under my truck's tow hitch and placed the scissor jack between the bead and the tow hitch. Then I extended the scissor jack until the bead broke. I could also use a bottle hydraulic jack instead of the scissor jack which also works. I didn't have to spend any money since everyone with a tow hitch, whether on a car or truck, can use their spare tire jack to break a bead on a tire. I'm just thinking outside the box.
Many thanks for testing this interesting tool!
If you need to use a hammer at the beginning, then you will demmage the rubber of tire or the aluminium. No way!
@hamradiohack you can see the core removal tool at 15:06 Every one had the valve core removed.
Have you used this a lot with the impact gun? I have one but I'm worried about damaging the threads with the impact gun. But on that note i can't seem to find a drill strong enough to screw the tyre down😕
Will this tool work with a run-flat tyre?
Run-flat tyre are heavy and thick
It would have been easier to remove the air from the 2nd tyre?
None of them had valve cores in them.
That's a rawhide mallet. Works great for pipe fitting, prevents denting the fittings (copper nickel or brass).
Well the front side is the easy side does it work on the back side
As a 34yr professional commercial tire guy. Advice: Get yourself a tyreguy friend. World works on,"I know a guy"
But then how would I have made this video? 😉
People in Ireland buy them if they are on sale but in not in shop to buy them at moment
I just got this from Ebay for $63 . It is not a good piece. I ended up using the bead breaker that came with the HF manual tire changer. It worked great
Got the same and I’m thinking wtf is this. I haven’t tried the manual tire changer but due to your comment maybe I will!
for gods sake keep your fingers away from the tyre bead, i had my 2 middle fingers taken off when trapped in the bead
Awesome thank man
looks to me this is NOT the tool for my Cragars .Thanks for the demo
the tire is completely deflated already and it still cant get underneath the rim?
Yeah on the Land Rover tires that was the issue. Tires all had the valve cores removed so there was no air in the tire.
You gotta take the valve stem out and spray joint with lube
All of the tires had the valve cores removed.
I just placed a return, I have the exact same problems .. this thing sucks
By the way I did the Frankenstein mod to my mini fcker and that thing replaced the big fxker in my garage.
I just placed an order. Hopefully it is not your return. Which other brand is better at comparable price?
How i take it?
Thanks for sharing
Looks like a PITA to me.
Better than what comes on the manual tire changer stand, but you aren't wrong.
@@LucidAutowerks I have your awesome dismount and mount for the HF and I really like it.
@@williamalbright8878 thank you for your business! I’m glad that you like it. I’m hoping to make an add on bead breaker for the manual tire changer sometime in 2024. I have some ideas but I just need to get some time to start testing them out.
@@LucidAutowerks I will be waiting for your bead breaker .
Ignorant people will always coment Ignorant opinions great video guy good luck God bless
some soapy water and a $10 5 foot scrap piece of 4x4 is all you need to break tire beads effortlessly without any damage. All the other mechanical DIY methods are iffy.
With that fat tire, just clam[ the tire down with a couple of wood clamps. That will expose the inner part of the rim, so you can properly set the bead breaker.
That’s a great idea 👍🏼
@@LucidAutowerks I was born late at night, but not last night. :--)
I’ll stick to my old floor bead breaker. Looks like a waste of money to me.
Next time use a lubricant to make it easy.
THERE'S ALWAYS TIME FOR LUBRICANT!!!
Bead Buster far easier to use, better design, no rim damage.
Info?
Nasty!... but i guess it'll do until your next course of shock treatment!!!
That second tire looks too big for that rim, just doesn’t look right
@@gerryrussell3073 I paid $200 for eight almost new tires so I wasn’t overly picky about the looks.
@ I meant the tire looks too wide for that rim which is why that bead breaker was hard too push in.
@@gerryrussell3073 yeah it’s a 245 on an 8” wheel so it’s a little wide but the sidewalls do have a somewhat excessive bulge. The weird thing is that even though the tire is wide, the bead is almost impossible to seat without the brake clean and fire trick. I don’t have an air blaster but that would work too. I forget the load range but it’s a pretty stiff sidewall.
I have one,they're very slow!
Sorry.. I think it's waist of time
It will damage the rims
*waste
@@LucidAutowerks he may be referring to the time/space continuum as it relates to the girth effect when approaching the event horizon.
Just use tire irons people. Works perfectly every time. Easy and faster.
How do you use a tire iron to break the bead on a passenger vehicle? I’ve seen it done on a semi tire but they’re a little different.
@LucidAutowerks same way. Use the flat head side of the iron to slide between the tire and the wheel and step on it to break the bead.
@@dynomiteadventures3161 - I have driven cars on them and they still hold. Good luck!!
