I was at tractor supply one day and seen they had 2 that were miss marked. They were $30 each. I bought both of them . I work on semis and the 5 gallon usually works to seat the bead on a 22.5 tire.
I just got one of these on eBay and the one I got is of better quality. Gauge is in psi. Came mostly assembled. Sticker makes sense. I’m having trouble making it work on riding mower sized tires. Keeps blasting them across my yard. I’ll get the hang of it one day. Just subscribed!
Got one off Amazon today, needed it to help with a troublesome motorcycle tire. Mine must’ve been an upgrade model. Only part I needed to attach was the black part and the gauge reads in psi. Maybe not the best thing out there but good enough for what I will need to do with it.
I recently used the same product to get the the seats started on Bridgestone Pillow Diameter tractor tires which are a ROYAL PAIN IN arse . Worked just like you showed.
I appreciate you naming the tool brand. I’ll look them up. I now have some 24” flat irons from harbor freight but iv gotten quite good with the pry bars lately. Thanks for the comment
Built mine out of a 20 lb propane tank and 3/4 valve and pipe with a Fill coupler on a 1/4 line reduced from a 3/4 T in front of the valve. Works great. My UA-cam channel.
@@Notafordguythat’s pretty impressive for a 5 gallon. Honestly…I regret buying the 10 gallon because it’s too big but I only paid like $75…so I thought for a few more bucks I would get the biggest one. The sweet spot would be the 7.5 gallon.
Air tanks are AIR BOMBS ! They all have expiration date code on them . Buy quality name brand tanks ! The only thing to brag about a Chinese air tank is the price ! The best and safest tanks are pressure vessel tanks which are certified . Everyone seems to want a light tank , pick out a heavy tank ! Metabo/ Hitachi has a 10 gallon pressure vessel tank that weighs 43 lbs. , not a tire tank . Cheap tire air tank only have one skid runner , concrete will grind a hole in them !
The thing I don't like about this, is that the tire would not have even needed a bead blast, because of how wide the tire was to the rim. You could have just put the air chuck to the valve stem and it would have aired up fine. Thats not the point of these, so there is no conclusion.
Lol please make a video of that because I think you’ll be eating your words. This is a 16.5” rim and tire and they seat against the bead different. They are much like a heavy 22.5 tire and rim. There is no “bead popping” going on. The tool is absolutely a necessity when mounting these tires.
I can understand why it might look that way but these are 16.5” rims. Humvee tires seat like semi rims so the tanks is a necessity. The sealing lip is tapered. Thanks for the comment.

Damn that’s a good deal!

I bought the same unit on Amazon. Same issues and concerns you had with quality. However, it works great! Used about 10 times, holding up fine.

Iv had problems in the past with a front Harley rim. Very annoying had to use lots of either. Wish I had this

That’s great to hear. I used to only use starting fluid and that’s just a recipe for disaster
Good stuff! Video quality is coming along nicely 🤘🏻
Appreciate it!
Great video! Consider getting larger tire irons. I use 24" and 30" from Ken-Tool. More leverage means less effort. 6:45

Thanks for the comment I’ll check it out!
@@Notafordguy 👍
Thanks for the video
You bet thanks for the comment
I bought one that is 10 gallon and it has so much power that I can barely stay up when I use it haha
Iv done 46” tires with mine but I but I’d have trouble doing wide turf tires or something.

I have a tank I use daily from 1998 so far so good. I also use oxygen tanks from the 1950s. They have been re certified many times over
I have never had an air tank turn into a bomb. They just start leaking.

Burnt hair sooooo sad
Beard and eyebrows got it the worst 😂
Question is, how well does it launch a potato ;)
Only one way to find out!
