I bought this to change out a bunch of 4 wheeler (ATV) tires. It unbeaded them just fine. It was also pretty easy to get the old ones off the wheels. The main problem I encountered was with trying to mount the GBC Gators. Every time I would start to pull the bar around, the tire would just back up off the wheel.....Everyone said it couldn't be done cause of the stiffness in the new tires' sidewalls....After about an hour of this I figured out a quick trick. Take a motorcycle strap and hook it under the wheel onto the post, get the tires started on the wheel, pull the strap up over the started section of tire and hook onto the post at the top. Pull tight. this way the tire can't back off the wheel when you start rotating around the post. I mounted the rest of the tires and averaged about 15 minutes a tire after I started doing this.
I had so much fun with my new trick that I ordered four more tires for another ATV of mine....just so I could mount them. This things cool.....BTW, order the tire spoon. Not gonna happen without it.

fresh out of the box, we tried to use it for the first tire, and the leverage bar bent! word of the wise, it's NOT solid steel! it's hollow and definately suseptable to bending. just the other day, we tried to use it for the second time, and the bead breaker bent too! in half!! not we have to make our own modifications to make their product work for us. if your serious about tire work, DO NOT buy this product. worse part is it was a gift for christmas. how embarrising is it that it proves how cheap the only two times it's ever been used.
