This tool works VERY GOOD after I had it refurbished and that's the only reason I'm giving it 3 stars. I bought it to help with tire changes. on my '68 GMC (17", tubular, 3-piece rims). On the first try the tool stuck and started grinding as I tightened the bolt. I thought the worst (damaged threads) and disassembled the tool to to show the threads were fine but there was no thrust washer (or even grease!) between the bolt shoulder and the body Lubrication, the tool works perfectly It took 15 minutes max to break a tire that's been on for over 30 years about 1/16" thick and no further tool modifications were required. other than that i think the tool is well made and will definitely be used in the future.
