Great tool! in Tire Repair Tools

This thing saves lives! I broke 3 tires and wheels from WW2 that I fought with for a long time. If only I had known that many years ago! If you bust tires, buy!

Pros
  • Approved Number
Cons
  • Repair

Must have for tractor!

I used this to remove old 28" tractor tires. A bead would come loose from a bite in a few minutes and then several pounds on the tire to come loose the rest of the bead. The other side asked me to move the board. once for the second bite. It took about 10 minutes. Watch the product video for all application tips. I lubricated all the helical gears, the pivot, and anywhere metal might rub against metal. I don't know if it was necessary and why not?I recommend!

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • The list will be long.

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…

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

super easy! I would have bought that a long time ago!

I've always used a jack to break the tire beads. For years I've been able to break beads on 14-ply off-road tires using this method. This weekend I stumbled across a 4-ply mower tire that was sealed with Fix-a-Flat a few years ago so the bead was basically glued to the rim. . I wasn't able to break the bead with my high lift or any other method I found online. I did a little research, found Little Buddy and bought it immediately. After about a minute I broke the bead on the first side with my…

Pros
  • I'm looking forward to it
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

A must for breaking big beaded tractor tires!

Worked like magic, broke the bead of an International Havestor tire with a ruptured tube. We couldn't even start breaking the bead without using this tool! Easy to use and seems well made. I'm considering buying another one, I like this tool so much! Edit: For those who break this tool, you must be seriously doing something wrong to break this tool anyway! We have used this tool several times on a variety of different tire types and I can't imagine how stupid it must be that the tool doesn't…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

A tool to save your time and effort!

The Little Buddy Bead Breaker is a great little tool that is easy to use. It only took a few minutes to figure out how to use the tool with minimal effort. I used a half inch air ratchet to turn the two screws on the Little Buddy. Ensure that all air has been expelled from the tractor tire and remove any weight fluid. I started breaking the bead by placing the Little Buddy along the edge. With the help of a hammer, I was able to get a good bite with the tool. I tightened the tool just enough to

Pros
  • Easy to Use
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

Additional instructions required

Heavy Duty Tool. The first impression is good. A few notes for those looking at and pondering some of the negative reviews. The instructions don't mention removing the valve core from the valve stem before using it. This won't work if the core is still in the stem, because when the tire compresses the air in the tire, even at 0 psi, this will prevent it from detaching from the bead! It should be able to pop out when the bead comes loose. Of course, this is a replacement for 101 tires, but for…

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
