Ken-Tool 35429 Bead Breaking Wedge, 32-inch, Steel Review

Solid construction, good weight and balance, feels quality, great for removing tires on my old M35A2 Deuce and a Half. I expect it to last me a lifetime and I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

Best price I've found on a truck tire changer. The handle is long enough. I would recommend wrapping the handlebars at the head end to protect the fiberglass from the inevitable bad impact.

I bought this hammer to bust tires on 17 inch rims. Light duty truck/car tires, I used a mixture of dish soap and water to lubricate the tire, hit it with a hammer about 6 times and the tire immediately popped off the bead. The hammer worked as usual. I have also used this hammer on Dayton 11r22.5, 11r24.5, 10.00x20 and Supersingle wheels. This has always been done. I highly recommend.

This is Kentool without a doubt. Replaced an unsafe piece of wood handled junk on my tire truck with this one after the head shifted and almost took my head with it. I should have stopped being stubborn and ordered a Kentool tire hammer sooner. Just another Kentool tool among many others in my truck. You get what you pay for, nothing beats quality. A cheap tool saves nothing if it can't get the job done.

What I dislike the most is that it takes hard work to operate what I use my tractor most likes now all new shoes (tires). It has a very nice and strong fiberglass handle, if my 62 year old eyes miss the mark and I hit the edge it won't break into a hundred pieces like a wooden handle. Beyond what I can tell, this is a tire hammer that's as smart as its operator. Revane would have preferred if I took a picture of it but seriously who would be looking for a wedge shaped hammer and not knowing…
