Ezrider Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 iv seen a number of shops using them. i have used them before and they are slick. too spendy for me though. a good set of ken-tool bars is easy to dismount with as well just takes a few times of doing it to get the feel for it. if i did tire work every day id certainly have one though.

I don't do all that much tire work with only one truck but when the time comes for new rubber I've been buying on line to save a lot of money also like to clean up everything that's why I do it myself,I've gotten pretty good with he irons but this just way easer,this was only a hundred bucks on Amazon and it came with a mounting tool also..

davehummell Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I was shone how to change a tire while it was still mounted on the truck it saved time when dealing with lift axle wheels.

j hancock Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Seen them for $100 online but not in person. Wonder if it is a good knock off or a bad one? Does it break the first time used? May be better to spend $300 to get the Esco. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

eddeere Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I try not to do much tire work. Most of my tire work is on tractor and backhoe rears. Easier for me if still mounted on tractor.

Well time will tell,I can't see this breaking,it's very heavy duty,did three tires this morning no problem,it also came with a mounting tool that works awesome..
