Let me tell you, this bead lifting tool is a beast! I've used it on everything from stubborn truck tires to stiff performance tires, and it hasn't let me down once.

The first thing I noticed was how perfectly balanced it feels - not too heavy but with serious heft where you need it. That 20" length gives me just the right leverage when wrestling with tight beads.

What really surprised me was how versatile the dual-curved ends are. The different angles let me tackle mounting and demounting with equal ease. It slides into the machine mount head like they were made for each other.

After six months of daily use in my shop, there's no bending or wear - just some honest scratches that prove its worth. On those extra-stiff sidewalls? Yeah, I keep a second one handy like the description suggests. Worth every penny.
