Olympia Manual Tire Changer Base, Red, 75-378-101

Very good, but not for ekspensive alloy rims. Easy to make bad scratches.

Works great to break bead just not for motorcycle tires

You get what you pay for here, but it does work. Just take care when mounting it and it will hold up. Go straight down when breaking the bead or you can bend the arm. Soap or oil around the bead is a must. Press and rotate, press and rotate and eventually it will pop loose on one of the presses. The bar provides nice leverage when forcing the tire over the rim edge, but remember to rotate yhe bar clockwise or the whole top clamp comes loose. I recommend a couple of levers to hold the tire where you want it while you maneuver the bar.

Terrible product. A piece of junk. I worked, in the past, installing tires and this product would not remove or install a tire. Cheap metal. Would not perform the tire removal. I gave it one star because the survey would not allow a zero.

Only issue that is when you push down on the paddle to break the bead the supports that hold the paddle are no strong enough and they tend to bend sideways. I am going to have mine braced with some thicker steel to support it.

Work great 👍

This thing did what I needed it to do, But it's week. I changed 4 ATV tires with it. We had to make it work, I say we because it took two of us at times to make it work. But it was cheaper than taking the tires to a shop and having them done and i have it now for times when I may need it. It would need re enforced in a couple of place to work with a bigger tire. I wouldn't want to try a 33" truck tire in unless I had no other options.

I worked changing tires at a few tire dealers in my past, when I was much younger, so I have a good understanding of how to change tires. It changes tires, but- it scratched the heck out of my wheels, and the bar is only good for tightening the top nut that secures the rim. It should also come with a cone, which I had to shell out extra for. It wouldn't even fit over the weld at the very top, so I had to gently grind it down slightly so it would slide down the neck. Use plenty of spray silicone with this, especially when breaking the beads. I had to break in 3 spots around the rim in order to get them apart. Also, it's NOT powder coat as described, it's paint that chips off very easily. Use it once and it will look like it's been used for a year. If I decide to send it back it will be mainly for this reason. After the first tire, I found that removal was easier using 3 tire spoons and rim protectors (that slid out landing inside the tire) 🙄 and clamps to hold the tire down. I think this is ok for steel wheels and small utility tires, but for the good magnesium wheels on newer cars just have some touch up paint on hand or send them out loose to a tire shop with a real tire machine to do them for you.

I dont know what the complaints are about, mine came in perfect shape, good welds and everything oriented correctly. I used it to stick some tires on my atv, a few extra thick/durable kenda executioner tires that were a beast to get on due to being very stiff tires. This made the job so much easier, with a few bead clamps and tire lube. One complaint to ALL MANUAL TIRE MACHINES, the bead breakers suck... Youre going to need a special bead breaking tool for anything tougher than a cheap lawn mower tire. I went with the "little buddy" bead breaker and it worked great in combination with this. GET TIRE PASTE NOT LIQUID GEL.

Desafortunadamente la calidad es mala, el calibre del metal es mínimo lo que ocasiona que se deformen algunas piezas como está que es donde se ejerce mucha fuerza, no lo recomiendo
