Review on πŸ’ͺ AME INTL 'Little Buddy' Manual Tire Bead Breaker: Efficient Solution for Tire Bead Breakage by Ronald Howlett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic tool.: Tools and equipment

After 4 days of fumbling with wedges, crowbars and hammers to get a tractor tire off the rim I ordered this one. It worked well with hand tools and pulled the bead out on the first try. I was very impressed! To be honest I installed it with a few hammer blows, adjusted according to the instructions and in a minute the bead was free. We used to place a 5 ton loader bucket on the sidewall on the rim, lift the loader in the air many times and achieve nothing. The little buddy worked the first time. You can even tear the beads off the tires while the tire/rim is still on the tractor. I wish I had known about this tool many years ago. I'm going to the gold plate mine, she deserves it.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
