I used this to change a rear tire on a KLR 650. The wheel was held securely enough just threading it onto the center bolt that I didn't need to screw the retaining nut down. The only thing is that I wish there was more padding for the spokes. Others have this feature but I also understand they cost more. The bead breaker worked well and seems sturdy. The tire was for tube and tubeless rims and generally harder to break the bead. The tool worked well.
