Frequently Asked Questions

How does this compare to hydraulic tire bead breakers?

This pneumatic model offers several advantages over hydraulic alternatives: no need for a separate hydraulic pump, lighter weight for mobile use, and faster setup time. While hydraulic units may have more raw power for extremely large tires, this air-powered tool handles the vast majority of automotive, truck, and tractor applications with greater convenience and portability.

What size air compressor do I need to run this tool?

Any standard shop air compressor that can power an impact wrench will work fine. The tool operates through your air impact or air ratchet wrench, so if your compressor can run those tools effectively, you're all set. Most 60-gallon shop compressors handle this easily.

Will this work on ATV and golf cart tires?

Yes, the adjustable clamping jaw and 5-inch stroke handle smaller recreational vehicle tires effectively. The tool's versatility from 10-inch mower tires up to 29-inch tractor tires includes most ATV, golf cart, and utility vehicle applications.

Can I use this for mobile tire service?

Absolutely. At only 16 pounds and requiring no hydraulic pump or electrical connections, this is ideal for mobile service trucks. Just bring your portable air compressor and impact wrench, and you can break beads anywhere your customers need service.
