Review on πŸ”§ BeadBuster XB-455 Tire Bead Breaker Tool for ATVs, Motorcycles, 4x4s, and Lawn Mowers by Jump Robinson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Busted Beadbuster fits tools and equipment

Broke on first use on a new 12" ATV tire. Low quality steel, minimal welds. I straightened it and then welded it on to reinforce the weakest joint that came loose. So far it has worked twice after sweat repair. Note: The leg that pushes the bead down is too small and will dent the chafer, which will reduce its later sealing against the rim. The concept is great but the quality is very poor. I expect a lot more from a device at this price. I suspect they have a patent and whoever delivers a tool that works reliably for a long time will be taken off the market and we will be forced to use this cheap junk. Also, the bolt that pushes the bead down doesn't have enough travel. I'm also concerned that cheap steel threads won't last very long. If the fingers bend and the welds break, I suspect the threads will soon come loose as well. It's frustrating to find something with a lot of marketing hype and bold claims mostly turn out to be just that. The quality is what you'd expect for 1/10th the price so there's no consolation that I got, what i paid for

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Long delivery time
