Great solution for installing heavy, bulky tires on vehicles. The good news is that the typical hole diameter in an alloy rim is large enough for the tool to be fully inserted into the hole. The unfortunate news is that if your rim (alloy or steel) requires the use of conical lug nuts, then the holes in these rims are too small for the tool to function. Which means that for me, installing summer alloy wheels with this tool will be easy, but I will have to invent a way to install my winter steel rims by using some sort of wheel dolly that lines up the 5 holes in my steel rim with the 5 wheel studs sticking out of the car's wheel hub. A stud alignment tool for steel rims will never exist because it is impossible to have a female socket that can mate with a M12 male stud, yet still pass through the hole in a steel rim.
Makes rebuilding anything a breeze compared to before. Just run these through all the bolt holes and the hardware goes in like it should!!
This is the most effective and practical tool when changing summer tires to winter tires. Thank you MPR Tools & Equipment .
Been using for a year now. Works great, seals and holds vacuum nicely and fills quick. Only complaint is the hose it comes with too short, have to set my big jug of coolant up on the engine to fill coolant, but no big deal. Really solid for the price
When I first got it, it was great then I used it the second time and the car made a loud bang sound and my dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree. When I unplugged it there was a electric burning smell coming from it. I wouldn't trust it with any car.
