I'm looking at getting a tire changing machine. I can get one at my local auto shop for $83.50 which lets you break the bead then clamp it down to remove the tire it seems a bit flimsy.
My dad has an old german one beautiful piece of gear but he wont part with it, even though he's too old to use it anymore.
does anyone else out there have one?
what sort how good?
or one they want to sell?

I use the local tyre shop... cheaper and less worry about hurting yrself using these machine.

I have used one of the bead breaking tool they work good.

Hi Marcel
Should have bought the one at Lismore man!

the one i can get at the auto place is the same as the one at the swap meet.
and the guy told us he paid $120 for it,
maybe he got ripped off!
I'll just have to hassle my dad more to sell me his

Just tell him you will change any tyres for him in the future!

Or steal it while he's out shopping or something!!

Come on Kol thats not nice, now I know you didn't really mean that, he could just borrow it on a long term basis!
