Review on BeadBuster XB-450: Ultimate Bead Breaker Tool for ATV/Motorcycle, 4x4, and Lawn Mower by Hector Watkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

But works fine. for tire changers

I received a bead scraper for three sets of sport ATV rear tires. It really helped and broke all my beads. The problem was that on one pair of tires I had to slide the bead buster all the way to the inside of the rim. So the center piece pushing against the tire to break the bead was also rubbing on the rim. Well, unfortunately that part was bent up so it didn't match the Pearl Destroyer's "legs". This only made it more difficult to insert the Bead Buster base between the rim and tire. It still worked fine and I ended up doing what I did. After I was done we bent this piece back and welded it on to further increase the integrity of the metal. So it works fine, but I think it could be made a little stronger. I only did six hoops and by the end I really felt like I missed them due to ring wear.

Pros
  • Sturdy surface
Cons
  • Wrinkled packaging
