Default Bead breaker tool


The claw. Bottom pad is medium durometer plastic to avoid marring aluminum wheels. Top plate is shaped to push the bead correctly. 1\"-8 threads, 32mm hex on end. Adapter socket has a 7/8" hex for drivin' 'er home with a power tool.

Tryout subject. 33\" x 12.5 wide. Absolutely crushed the job! Drive the bead down, 2 taps with a hammer on each side and pop!, bead is off. Very happy camper👍

I made this with the intent of doing my TPMS sensors. Got some cheap units, installed with my new tires.And of course one crapped out three days in. Being a cheap ***, I made the tool instead of paying somebody, so now I can turn off all the damn TPM S lights 👌 3 more cars/trucks to go..... Happy chips to all you makers out there! Ric
