Tire Bead Tool – Professional-Grade Drop-Center Seating

Overview

This is a no-nonsense tire bead tool designed for the specific task of seating tire beads into the drop center of the rim during off-road tire installation and repair. The tool features a broad, flat U-shaped jaw that applies even pressure without the fighting and slipping that comes with improvised methods or inferior tools. Pair this with complementary off-road tire solutions to streamline your tire service workflow, or invest in advanced bead-holding assemblies for high-volume operations.

Key Features

• 6000 Series Aluminum Construction: Lightweight yet rigid. Precision machined from a single piece with chamfered edges for durability and clean aesthetics.
• Adjustable Nylon Thumbscrew: The white nylon threaded peg serves as the contact point and can be adjusted to suit different tire and rim profiles. Nylon material ensures zero scarring to rims—critical for professional shops and resale value.
• Broad Flat Lever Handle: Ergonomic design with parallel-ridge grip texture reduces hand fatigue during extended tire changes. Long lever arm provides mechanical advantage without excessive force.
• Compact Profile: Low-profile design fits in tight spaces under tire beads and doesn't interfere with tire mounting stations.
• Drop-Center Seating: The U-shaped jaw is specifically engineered to hold the tire bead down into the rim's drop center, eliminating the need to fight the bead or use multiple tools.
