Well made, easy to use. Slight learning curve.

3 hours from unboxing to 4 x lt245-70-17 10pr tires on truck. Never used. Light pea-lemon juice. You should use soapy water or tire grease. If you don't, it will be a horrible experience.

The mount/dismount side of the bar is poorly designed and keeps bouncing off the wheel at the most critical point of operation. As everyone says, chew wheels. Long: I bought this because my local port freight always didn't have this tool and their website wouldn't send it to me for some reason. After seeing a lot of information on weak beaded pry bars, I thought it was worth…
