I have this same bead buster. After about changing 30 atv tires the treads decided to strip out. I welded nuts and tread the bolt in and good to go again. Only design flaw that I've found with this tool.
I was surprised on how little effort it took to break the bead, if I were doing larger than car/SUV tires, I would definitely invest in the larger tool.
Not making fun, but the top of your table is a measuring device! Great review, I had the same thoughts as making my own specific to my motorcycle tires.
That was a 205 75R 14 passenger car tire. I have used it on 15 inch steel rims, with passenger car tires, I wouldn't buy this model if you are working on a light truck or heavier tire, also not great on aluminum rims.

Thanks for sharing your experience with this tool...I haven't used it that much, but it does work well on the small tires.
That’s quite a tool to have! I wish we’d thought of that back when we used a maul and wedges to break down tires.

I see it didn’t require alot of effort. Nice.

Lol...so it was!
Sometimes it looks so easy that it's hard to believe it.
what was the tire size ? what range of rim sizes it can work on ?
