AME INTL 'Little Buddy' Heavy Duty Manual Tire Bead Breaker Tool - Perfect for Auto Repair Shops, Off-Road Vehicles & Emergency Tire Changes

The Little Buddy bead breaker is a great little tool that is easy to use. It took only a few minutes to understand how to use the tool with very little effort. I used a one half inch air ratchet to help with the turning of the two bolts on the Little Buddy. Make sure all the air is out of the tractor tire and remove any liquid used for weight. I started to break the bead by placing the Little Buddy along the rim. With a hammer I was able to get a good bite with the tool. I tightened the tool only enough that the tool became parallel to the tire and then I hammered the tool deeper on the bead. Now I tightened the second bolt to push the bead away from the rim. The bead broke on the first try on a tire that had been in place for decades. I am very pleased with it and recommend the Little Buddy.
