3.2/5
For a home garage that mostly changes car and SUV tires and wants a brand with parts support. Budget for a bead seater, since it has no blaster.

Pros
- Clamps rims from 10 to 24 in, so it covers most cars, SUVs and light trucks
- Spare parts and wear items from a long running US equipment brand
- Air jaws and a 5,500 lb class bead breaker handle steel and alloy wheels
Cons
- No bead blaster, so stiff tires need a separate bead seater tank
- No assist arm, and adding one costs as much as a budget changer
- Warranty covers parts only for one year
