Bought one of those a while back, even made an adapter to mount it in the hitch of my truck for a solid base, the first time I used it, that aluminum handle snapped right off, was only using it on a stock Blaster tire/rim. real piece of k-rap.

I got the full size one from Harbor Freight on sale for $35. Works great on anything except performance (automotive) tires with short, stiff sidewalls.

so, one vote yes, one vote no

I would only use it for ATV tires, and very seldom

I posted in another thread and GTYR said it worked well. I just had my first flat and one ATV dealer wanted 40 bucks just to change the tire, it may be worth a shot!
