Sometime back there was a thread on the Marquette Tire Tool (bead breaker). There was posted a picture of the original flyer for the tool. I have been searching and can not find it. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks, Dan

I use my Giant Hand on evry tire I mount, but I also have never understood what the little swival thing on the jaw is for. I also now have a bigger Giant Hand that I like even better.

Thanks Roger. That is what I was looking for. Dan
Dave,
Simple explanation. Grab the tire at the bead with the jaws of the 'Giant Hand'. Do this at several spots near each other to break the bead loose. Once the bead is loose, close the jaws by gripping the handle, then push down. If you are near the top of the tire, the swivel thing should swing down and now touch the top edge of the rim. Still holding the jaws shut, with the swivel thing against the rim, pull up on the 'Giant Hand'. The jaws are holding the beads together, and the swivel thing acts as a fulcurum so as you raise the outer end of the 'Hand' it pulls the bead out of the clincher as slick as can be. Makes disassembling a clincher on the car a lot easier.
