ESCO 70201 Installation Requirements
Insert Replacement
The 70201 polymer inserts replace existing worn inserts on the ESCO 70200 tool. Simply remove old inserts from the hook and nose positions and install new polymer pieces - no tools or special equipment required. Process takes seconds.
Inspection Before Use
Before installation, inspect the 70200 tool body for cracks or damage. Verify that the hook assembly and nose section are clean and free of debris. Install only into equipment in good working condition.
Proper Storage
Store replacement inserts in a dry location protected from extreme heat or cold. Polymer material maintains flexibility at standard shop temperatures (60-85 degrees F). Keep away from solvents or harsh chemicals that may degrade polymer.
Correct Usage for Maximum Life
To achieve the full 500-700 mount/demount lifespan, use the tool only on mag, chrome, and alloy wheels. Do not use on steel wheels. Ensure wheel is properly supported on the tire changer before beginning operations.

ESCO 70201 FAQ
How many mounts and demounts will the ESCO 70201 polymer inserts provide?
The ESCO 70201 replacement inserts provide 500-700 mounts and demounts when used correctly. The lifespan depends on wheel type (alloy vs. chrome), operating technique, and the condition of the tire changer tool body. Shops with high-volume operations typically see 500-cycle life, while moderate-volume shops often get 600-700 cycles. For maximum life, always ensure the wheel is properly supported on the changer and use smooth, controlled motions during mounting and demounting operations.
What wheels is the ESCO 70201 designed to protect?
The ESCO 70201 is engineered specifically for mag, chrome, and alloy wheels. It eliminates damage to these premium wheel finishes during tire service. However, the product is not suitable for steel wheels, which require different tool geometry and insert materials. Using the 70201 on steel wheels may result in poor performance or damage to the tool.
Is any installation required to use the ESCO 70201?
Installation is minimal and requires no special tools. Simply remove the worn polymer inserts from your ESCO 70200 tool and insert the new 70201 polymer pieces into the hook and nose positions. The process takes seconds with no tools. Your 70200 tool should be in good working condition before installation - inspect the tool body for cracks or damage.
Can the ESCO 70201 be used on any tire changer?
The ESCO 70201 is a replacement insert set specifically designed for the ESCO 70200 Mag Wheel Tool. However, the 70200 tool is compatible with all center post tire changers, so the 70201 inserts will work with virtually any center post changer that the parent tool is used on. Always verify your equipment uses center post mechanics before purchasing.
What makes the ESCO 70201 better than "bootie-style" attachments?
Traditional "bootie-style" rubber or plastic attachments slip off during use, requiring constant re-adjustment and creating workflow interruptions. The ESCO 70201 polymer inserts are permanently integrated into the tool's hook and nose sections, eliminating slippage entirely. The design also provides more consistent contact with wheels, reducing variation in performance across multiple tires.
How should the ESCO 70201 inserts be stored when not in use?
Store your replacement 70201 inserts in a dry location protected from extreme temperatures (ideal range 60-85 degrees F). Keep them away from direct sunlight, solvents, harsh chemicals, and moisture. Polymer material can degrade if exposed to prolonged heat or chemical solvents. A climate-controlled storage cabinet or shop shelf is ideal. Do not store near high-temperature equipment like vulcanizers or air dryers.
Is a warranty provided with the ESCO 70201?
Yes. ESCO provides a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in material or workmanship on the polymer inserts. The warranty covers cracking, splitting, or deterioration from normal use - but does not cover wear from the expected 500-700 mount/demount service life. Warranty is valid only when the product is used on mag, chrome, and alloy wheels as specified.
Can individual inserts (nose or hook) be purchased separately?
Yes. ESCO manufactures component-level replacements: Model 70202 (nose insert polymer), Model 70203 (hook body metal), and Model 70204 (hook insert polymer). However, the 70201 complete set is the most economical option for replacing both inserts simultaneously, which is typically necessary when service life is reached.
How do I know when to replace the ESCO 70201 inserts?
Replace the inserts when you notice visible wear, flattening, or cracking of the polymer surfaces. You may also experience reduced wheel protection or increased wheel contact marks as the inserts wear. Most shops establish a replacement schedule at 500-600 cycles to ensure consistent wheel protection. Keep spare insert sets on hand to avoid downtime during peak service periods.
What is the shipping timeframe for the ESCO 70201?
Standard ground shipping to the 48 contiguous United States takes 2-5 business days from order placement. The ESCO 70201 is a small, lightweight parcel that ships via standard courier service with no signature requirement. Express shipping is available upon request. International orders should contact sales for shipping quotes and estimated delivery times.
Can the ESCO 70201 inserts be used as a preventative replacement?
Absolutely. Many shops purchase spare insert sets proactively to minimize downtime. Keeping a set of replacement 70201 inserts in stock means you can swap worn inserts in seconds without interrupting shop operations. For high-volume operations, maintaining 2-3 spare sets ensures you always have fresh inserts ready, maximizing equipment uptime and customer satisfaction.
