Manual / Portable Tire Changer

So has anyone ever used one of these suckers???

HF keeps having them half price and I got one today as a gift.
THe pic they show with a tire on the sucker ready to go does not show it bolted down. I assume I better get a bad of cement and some bolts but they do call it portable.

How portable is it???

I basically got it for free so no complaints here, espically if it saves me a few buck or make a few now and then.

I gotta say at half price $35 this is an awsome tool or even just as a toy in the garage. Once you get the hang of it the tires just fall on and off. Changed 4-5 tires and its paid for.

Now if the portble tire balancer would go on sale that cheap.



If ya got $35 burning a hole in your pocket, buy one today. Thank me later.

I got some good tips from others in the thread in the post above that helped me change a car tire as east as a bicycle.

Every week they have a half off sale an a bunch of tools. They have it almost every week. i want to tire balancer to be half off.

It was well worth it, even just as a toy. $35 was never spent better.
