Harbor Freight Tire Changer

[rpmwwe]

I'm thinking about getting one of those little Harbor Freight tire changers. It would be used for changing ATV, gokart, and lawn tractor tires. Has anyone bought or used one and is it worth buying for the small tires?

A close friend that has used one for years. He tells me that it works okay for occasionally changing lawn tractor, small trailer, or wheelbarrow tires.

I have been using one for years, car, light truck, trailer, tractor and lots and lots of motorcycle tires...

I've had this one:http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=34542 from HF for years and actually
just used it yesterday to put a tube in a 22x11.00-8 Dixie Chopper mower tire.
For what it is it works fine and although I do use it on car tires too, the majority of what it sees is golf cart and mower tires. Seems to me that I paid
closer to the price for the one you listed though...

Do a search on youtube and you'll find some instructional videos on using these. It will pay for it self after a few usage.

if its anything like the car version it is a bear to use but works. Best to have something very solid to mount it to!

I have had mine for several years. I use it probably 99% of the time for motorcycle tires. I like it. Have done a few smaller tires. No car tires. I have mine set up to bolt to the floor when I need it. My small 21X21 garage really doesn't allow a permanent spot. I reapir motorcycles out of my garage so I usually have 3 or 4 bikes in there at any time. Floor space is valuable.

I have one and have never had a chance to use it. I even have the motorcycle tire adaptor. Mine is the larger style in the second link. Make me an offer.
