I used my Hagner rim tool today. It is the best rim tool I have used. Does anyone have any info on them? I got a copy of the Patent to find out how to work it, but would like a copy on the instructions if anyone has them. I have only ever seen 2 tools. Does anyone here have one. They were made in Norristown Pa. Thanks, Dan
No one have a Hagner? Dan
Haven't seen any, but I found your previous post from 2011 when Art Bell supplied the patent link:

Looks like it's for 1925-27 split rims and should be faster/easier to use than the usual rim jack. I guess they weren't successful on the market for some reason - badly promoted or too expensive?
Very similar to the Ford Canada supplied split rim tool (in concept)
