| I saw this considerably cheaper and bought it. I have done it manually the hard way for years with just spoons and bars. Recently I ran into 8 old truck tires I needed to move around and could not get the bead to break. That is when I bought this. After just a few minutes to easily assemble, I used this tool to break down the tires in about 3 minutes per tire. Mounting is easy with this also. You do have to use a little muscle, but my daughter can do it and she is only 11. It is build sturdy enough, just make sure to bolt it down. Bolting to a pallet works if you do not have concrete to bolt to. I bolted it onto my 16ft trailer so I can add/remove it when I need to. The only thing I did not like as much was the mounting end of the tire tool. With a little grinding, I improved it and it works great now. |

| Just the right amount of equipment to get the job done. Nothing too fancy, but not junky. Great for the occasional tire change. You can get it out when you need to, so it doesn't have to sit there taking up space in the shop for months at a time. |
Great product

For the home garage, this is a great product at a very reasonable price. I purchased it specifically to change ATV tires at home and in the field as needed.
Pros: Easy to use, well-built, durable, heavy-duty materials that should last a lifetime, easy to mount to a pallet or wooden floor trailer for portability.
Cons: No instruction manual included with changer - - without a manual and unless you have worked in a tire shop, you are lost when it comes to changing a tire. I got online and found a great instructional manual/video at [...], which proved to be invaluable. An additional tire spoon or two would have been helpful.
Overall, this is a great product and I highly recommend it. I would have given it five stars but the lack of a "how-to" manual lowers my score.
