🔧 BeadBuster XB-455 Tire Bead Breaker Tool for ATVs, Motorcycles, 4x4s, and Lawn Mowers Review

I was skeptical when I saw this. A few years ago I bought a "leverage" bead press for the same money and time. The leverage seemed to work. It might have worked better with some anchor bolts, but I didn't like a permanent attachment. I calculated the cost of this device and found that if it works, it will pay for itself on the 3rd bus. So I bought it and after using it I kick myself for not finding it sooner. Some reports indicate that you may need a few flicks of the wrist to actually snap the

I thought this was my bead savior but instead it's another chapter in a sad story. I have a motorcycle jackhammer that I use on my bikes all the time, but it doesn't fit my ATV tires. Then I tried a 2x4 bolted to the wall with a long 2x4 arm, but after bouncing up and down for an hour, the bead remained unbeatable. I finally went online convinced that a $100 tool would save the day. Unfortunately, I can't report defeating my pearl enemy. After removing the bead on the 6" section I wanted to…

This is one of the best tools I've had in a long time and it works great when used correctly! I've used this on tires ranging from front riding mower tires to a 30" EFX Motoclaw tire from my Yamaha Side by Side. for a long time, not to mention the amount of profanity spat out of my mouth that would have made even Andrew Dice Clay uncomfortable. The only minor issue with this is the rubber tread of the section that touched the inner rim. It's not the tool's fault but I lent it to someone and…

Broke on first use on a new 12" ATV tire. Low quality steel, minimal welds. I straightened it and then welded it on to reinforce the weakest joint that came loose. So far it has worked twice after sweat repair. Note: The leg that pushes the bead down is too small and will dent the chafer, which will reduce its later sealing against the rim. The concept is great but the quality is very poor. I expect a lot more from a device at this price. I suspect they have a patent and whoever delivers a tool

I bought these after struggling with a regular motorcycle tire changer on one of my two ATVs without them. A motorcycle tire fitter only breaks off a bead after a long physical struggle and sweat - if at all. I gave in and spent money on this device and it made a huge difference. I broke the bead in minutes without breaking a sweat by following the included easy to follow instructions. All I need is a cordless screwdriver and a power socket. This BeadBuster is solidly built with quality…

It really works and there is a learning curve. I would give it 5 stars but I wouldn't call it "love". It's not as fast as you might think in the video and most of the time you have to move it around the tire at 2-3 other spots on the rim. You can destroy a tire by pressing down on the tool's foot and knocking off the tire's sidewall if it's not tight enough. You must keep an eye on the foot of the tool when tightening. You can use an impact wrench, but I've found that you're more comfortable…
