By Lance Sorenson, Hector, Minnesota on Sunday, June 29, 2014 - 12:01 pm:I have two of these and see them often. They must of sold well.
By Jared Buckert on Monday, June 30, 2014 - 11:32 pm:Ok, I'll bite. How does it work?
By Jay - In Northern California on Tuesday, July 01, 2014 - 05:47 pm:Jared, I haven't tried using it yet. When I do I'll post here on the forum about it.
By Dennis Henrichs on Tuesday, July 01, 2014 - 07:09 pm:My guess is it is used to break the bead on clincher tires loose. The three notches make the adjustment to the size of tire. The two bottom ends fit close to the tire bead and the handle is pulled up to compress the tire. (just a half fast guess on my part ).
By Mike Walker, NW AR on Tuesday, July 01, 2014 - 09:12 pm:I believe you would push down on the handle to use this tool.
