BeadBuster XB-455 ATV/Motorcycle / 4x4 / Lawn Mower Tire Bead Breaker Tool

Product works great, instructions are simple to follow definitly a keeper. Used this to to change 4 tires on a Polarise rzr 800S.

It worked well on my ATV rims, I hope it holds up after multiple uses, not sure it would do passenger car tire but the concept is the same so maybe Ill build on from scratch

Broke on first use and scratched my Ford Raptor wheels in the process. You are way better off using the alternative method of placing the wheel/tire underneath the hitch and using a scissor jack and 2x4 piece of wood toapply downward pressure on the tire using the hitch as the support point. I did that a few times around the tire and the tire came off the bead easily and without damaging the wheel. What a waste of money this tool was. Cheap welds on the feet broke off on first use. I returned it for a refund

I'm so tired of being scammed by tire shops to something as simple as changing tire pressure monitoring sensors. Most shops mark up the sensor costs far too much and then charge really high fees for the labor and code programming.With this bead breaker, I did the job myself and the results were perfect.Sure, there is a bit of a learning curve, but that's kind of the fun part.I would absolutely recommend this bead breaker, just take your time with it, make sure you adjust the clamp down bolt several times, making sure to seat the pushing bar as close to the rim as possible and also lube up the entire bead really, really well, as this will help tremendously.Nice product, NOT MADE IN CHINA, but rather Taiwan! Yeah! Never thought I'd be happy to see a product made in Taiwan, but trust me, the quality of this is really excellent. Taiwan is known for producing higher quality products, second of course to the USA. :)All in all, if you believe you need this, just buy it. You'll have it for the rest of your life and pass it down to your kids.

It does work, and there is a learning curve. I would give it a 5 star but I would not call it "love". Its is not as fast as the video would have you believe and more often than not you need to move it round the tire for 2-3 other locations on the rim. Your can destroy your tire by pushing the tool foot threw the side wall of the tire if you do not have it clamped tight enough. You need to watch the tools foot as you tighten it down. You can use an impact driver but I found you get a better feel with a socket wrench, regarding clamping. Impact is fine for the breaking the bead. I tighten down the clamp unit is bottoms out then turn it back 1 full turn. This gets you tight enough on the rim, but loose enough for the foot to pass over the rim lock. Watch as you go, just don't blindly use a driver, our you might just cut perfectly square slices into your tires side wall instead of breaking the bead. You will need a large c clamp or two to hold the tire from returning to the bead seat as you brake the bead. Once the back side rim bead is broken 360 deg you will need to use a tool to drive the tire into the recessed groove due to the longer rim flat. I used a blunted flat bar and a hammer, while the rim only was supported up on large wood block. You need to support the rim only so the tire is will stay were it has been driven and will not drift back. Pros: super compact and light, well made, works. Cons: slowish, tire damage risk. I would buy it again, its cool, but you there is a learning curve.

used it to break bead on 2013 ram 1500 to replace the TPS , worked great , worth every penny . saved me $100

I bought these after struggling without it on one of my two ATV's using a regular motorcycle tire changer. The motorcycle tire changer would only break the bead after a long time of physical struggling and sweating - if at all. I relented and spent the money on this device and it made a world of difference. I broke the bead on within minutes without breaking a sweat following the enclosed easy to understand instructions. All I need was my cordless drill and a socket to fit. This BeadBuster is built sturdy and it is high quality construction. I only have two quadbikes and their tires will likely last for many years and I wont need it soon again, but it is small and compact and I can take it with for in case it is needed while we are riding. Handy little thing to have in the tool box for in case it's needed. I am a DYI type who enjoys the odd foray in doing my own machine maintenance to save money and this had a good balance between price and time saved. It costs $25-$30 per tire at the shop to get done, by using this on just one ATV it has paid for itself. Any future tire replacements are free after this. I can use it on the dirt bikes and street bike also to break beads.

Works like it says it will. Small enough to travel with you. A bit pricey, but gives you the ability to do a repair in the middle of nowhere. Excellent for not having to walk out.
