Slidehammer Tire Bead Breaker

Slidehammer tire bead breaker TIRES/WHEELS Handling 13-4-28 "It'll break the bead on any size farm tire including tractor, combine and ATV tires," says Steve Schlecht, president of Gempler's, Inc., a mail order tire repair supply company in Mt. Horeb, Wis. The new "slidehammer" tire tool features a sliding handle that extends from 3 ft., 10 in. out to 6 ft. A hardened steel foot fits against the tire bead and the force of the slidehammer forces the bead away from the rim. "It's faster than other bead breakers on the market and doesn't damage the tire sidewalls as can happen with a tractor loader," says Schlecht. The tool weighs 15 lbs. Sells for $49.95 (postpaid).
