ESCO Professional Slide Hammer Bead Breaker

Spring-action design for stuck truck and agricultural tire beads

The ESCO 70150 slide hammer bead breaker delivers precise impact force without kickback for professional tire shops and mobile service crews. Built with spring-cushioned design and precision-machined steel wedge foot, this tool separates stubborn tire beads from rims safely and efficiently. The 48-inch length and 24-pound weight provide the leverage and controlled impact needed for commercial truck, agricultural, and heavy equipment tire service without the dangers of hammer-and-chisel methods.

Key Features

Spring-Action Impact Design

Delivers consistent, controlled force directly to the bead separation point. Spring-cushioned shaft absorbs rebound energy, eliminating dangerous kickback while protecting hands and wrists from shock during long service jobs.

Precision Wedge Foot

Machined steel tip forces cleanly between bead and rim flange without slipping. Directs hammer force precisely to the separation point while preventing damage to wheel surfaces and rim components.

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

Industrial-grade steel components won't bend or break under high-impact forces. Built in USA with quality construction that handles the most stubborn corroded or sealed tire bead connections.

Manual Operation

Works without compressed air or hydraulic equipment. Reliable for field service calls where you need bead breaking power in any location without special infrastructure requirements.
