You are the first video I've watched that has actually read the instructions and explained how to use the Installation tool the most correct way.; sadly as of March 2024 the price for this mini tire changer is $59.99...

Always keep an eye out for it to go on sale

I am getting my tire changer delivered today. I have three tires lined up for changing. Your video was very informative and I want to thank you for the time you took to fully explain the tire changer usage.

I picked one of these up from HFT about a year ago and haven't needed to use it yet but will be using it soon. Never thought about putting it in a vice, great idea, Tim. Thanks for the video. I'm now subscribed now. I will be watching for your future videos and go back to your older ones.

Thanks for the sub.

consider wearing safety glasses when installing schrader valves. otherwise, good demo of clever tool.

Great video. Thanks.

I mounted the base on a small pallet 😅

Works great

Thanks!

The nylon spacers are there for a reason. Makes it 10 times easier to use the bar.

The aluminum cone should be seated directly on the rime to center it, then the two spacers then the nut.

Man you are a beast. Why your channel don't have over a million subscribers I'll never know. Videos are well put together, informative to say the least. Whats your full time job? If you say a banker or a CEO I'll die I can't picture you in a tie!

Good instructive video. I would just make one suggestion..if your stool ever slipped, there's a good chance that you could impale your chest or crack your sternum if you landed on the long bolt sticking up. Not being a critic just after working on mowers tractors and two strokes for 40 years i have seen it all. Keep up the videos. Your informative and straight to the point and dont spend the first 15 minutes talking about how great your workshop is.. Thanks fir posting the video, any armature that watches it should now be able to change a lawn tractor tire.

good video tim

You may want to invest in a locking air chuck if you do to many tires, then you can use 2 hands on the tire to set the bead.

Using dish liquid is trapping water inside tire, guaranteeing rusty rim, use wd-40 instead.

Piece of junk. I was able to break the beads for 6 inch rim lawnmower tires. I was able to get one tire removed, but not the second one. Mounting the tires was horrible. Cheap iron tire iron bent. Save your money.
