On-Trail Tire busting Tool?

[honk]

I know that there's one out there but I'll be damned if I can remember where I saw it..........a pliers looking contraption that is touted to be able to make breaking down a tire/wheel assy. a one person job without any air or Coats tire machine or any of that usual stuff. A tool that was advertized for offroaders to carry and be able to take tires as big as 37-38" off of wheels to be fixed or whatever.

Does anybody know what, where, and that for a tool such as I've here so sloppily described? Por Favor?

I've used a highlift jack for all my bead breaking work...in the shop, on the trail, by the side of the road when your buddies 3rd car trailer spare blows and his bolt pattern doesn't match anyone else that yer running with and it's 2am in the gas station on the border and you really wanted to make it into camp 2 hours away yet that night....

Click on "accessories", then scroll down to see the bead breaking pliers.

handyman jack - you'll always have it with you, and you won't have to pack another contraption along with you all the time. K.I.S.S. method has always worked for me.

second vote for hi-lift.

With beadlock wheels, the tire can be replaced easily enough after the rear bead is broken with the hi-lift trick. That's what I do. But to remove a tire from a conventional rim, some kind of tire-spoons and a couple strong guys are required, unless those tyre-pliers from Australia allow a single 'mate' to do it.

i was just in at slee offroad and they have one that mounts to your high lift. get ahold of ben or christo and they will be able to help you out.

I do it like Woody.

Hi-lift everytime.

There is a gizmo that is used a lot in aussie called the "tyreplier"
i just googled it and here is one link

appear to be a good tool but i'm all for the high lift too.

Ya,"TyrePlier" (whatever) is what I'd seen I think. The Aussie one and the one at Marsh Custom Wheels look like the same thing except for the bars in the Aussie kit. Marsh is a lot etter priced.

Anybody ever actually try on or the other of these things?

I've always found the hylift awkward and a pain though it'll do the job. I was looking to something even easier.

I have one of these. Got it from Slee. Works awesome because it is adjustable for rim size.
