ESCO | 70141 Black Coated Steel Bead Holder (Ea)
Bead Holder for Consistent Tire Mounting
The ESCO 70141 Bead Holder keeps tire beads in place when you're working on tough sidewalls or stubborn tires - especially on low-profile or run-flat applications. This tool acts as an extra hand during mounting, holding the top bead securely in the drop center so you can finish the job without the bead popping back up. It’s a must-have for tire shops, mobile service units, and DIYers who want a smoother, safer install.
What Makes This Bead Holder Different?
Unlike plastic bead keepers that flex or crack under pressure, this one’s made from heavy-duty steel and finished with a black coating to resist corrosion. It stays locked where you place it and won’t slide out of position when tension builds. The hook is shaped to grip the rim edge firmly while applying consistent pressure down on the bead.
- Black-coated steel resists wear and rust
- Secure hold with minimal slippage
- Ideal for low-profile, stiff, or aftermarket tires
How It Performs on the Job
Expect smooth, reliable performance with every use. Whether you're mounting tires on a machine or by hand, this bead holder gives you control where you need it most. It eliminates the struggle of trying to hold the bead with a knee, pry bar, or helper. It’s compact, tough, and fits in any drawer or service cart.
Ideal For:
- Automotive and motorcycle tire shops
- Off-road, racing, or stiff sidewall tire installs
- Mobile tire techs and field service pros
Where to Use This Bead Holder
This tool shines in any tire mounting situation where the bead won’t stay put - especially with aftermarket wheels, performance tires, or thick sidewalls. It pairs perfectly with tire machines but also works for manual setups. If you’ve ever had a bead snap out mid-job, you’ll know exactly why this is worth having.
