I read with interest your suggestions because I'm doing passenger tires as we speak.
Both your suggested tools clearly warn: "Not designed for removal of passenger car tires."

So, for the $500 to $650 bucks you recommend, you can change motorcycle and lawnmower tires, but what do you recommend for passenger car tires (which was the topic of the thread you deprecate)?
Well, not sure how it happened. I had my Agent application open and clicked on "post" "New Usenet Message" and filled in the "subject" line as "manual tire changers" and went from there - SO SORRY if somehow I offended the sensative adults in the group
There is no thread in GG entitled "Manual tire changers". Your OP and all responses are mixed together in the "Review: LED replacements for T8 Fluorescent Tubes".
You can argue about it all you want, but that is what GG users (and I think some others) are seeing. Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it's not so, no matter how many uppercase words you use.
The thread is very plainly titled Review: LED replacements for T8 Fluorescent Tubes.
Your first post related to tire changing includes a "extra" subject line of "Manual tire changers". All responses to that post have an "extra" subject line of "Re: Manual tire changers"..
Unless you access this thread in GG you probably won't see what I am talking about.
Get it through your thick skull. The unit he was using to change his motorcycle tire is an AUTOMOTIVE TIRE CHANGER. and I was NOT talking about balancing. The thread most definitely says "manual tire CHANGERS"
Did you follow the link I gave to the Northern Tools website??? If you did, you didn't read. Typical id10t problem
You are just proving what I said before about you and the type of "customer" you are. The thread was restarted under a differnt subject for a reason - and you HAD to jump in claiming to be smarter than the rest of us again - exactly as I expected you would.
My newsreader shows two responses to the LED thread, then the tire changer thread you started, then more of the LED thread. Your thread is tucked in as if it was in response to the start of the LED one. Thunderbird on a Mac, and aioe.
OK - upon closer reading (mea culpa) it DOES say noit "designed" for automotive tires, but by it's construction it is definitely "better designed" than the POS you got from Harbor Frieght, and is more capable of changing automotive tires than yours - and it has all the parts and features required to change alloy rims without damaging them
- and I GUARANTEE you won't bend the bead breaker. With a few MINOR additions/modifications it can be made into a "designed for automotive tires" changer that will ou-perform virtually any other manual tire changer available on the general market today.
Would be nice if Harbor Frieght or Northern Tool or TSC or Princess Auto started carrying something like this at a decent price:

Looks like Redline has basically the same unit on their site -

at a total cost of about a grand - - - The old standard Coats 310 appears to still be available too - more of a heavy duty unit without the rim-saver features of the previous units
formatting link
About $1200 - used should be available for a few hundred if you keep your eyes open. Greg Smith's unit is almost a copy of the Northern Tool unit I started this thread with, but with the Harbor frieght style cheapass bead breaker. If this one handles light truck tires no reason the Northern unit won't

At $149 the price isn't bad, but the Northern unit is built and designed better.
No reason you could noy use this one on automotive wheels either, as far as I can see:

The "atv tool" shown is the same as many I have used for car tires over the years.
The NewNoMar is another (expensive) example

abd for seating beads most of the really HANDY guys out there could easily duplicate this baby -

A good friend of mine - a farmer-fabricator, has had his version in use for several yeares for installing wagon tires.
Yes, I purposefully understated the fact by using 'usually'. I suppose one could insert such a header field in an actual new thread OP without it being rejected by the injecting server, and some people would do just that to prove someone else's statement wrong.
Nope, my MesNews client says that "References" header field is reserved. Still, that doesn't mean that it cannot be done, only that I cannot do it with MesNews.
When I first saw your post in the LED thread, there was nothing else for me to do except ask why you posted your comments in the LED thread. I had no way of knowing what process you followed, all I knew was that your comments were unrelated to the OP.
I did find it interesting how strongly you seem to object to what we were seeing.
"The thread is very plainly titled "manual tire changers" _ don't know what you are reading - or who's glasses you have on - - - "
and
"Where in the thread entitled "manual tire changers" do you find ANYTHING about LED tubes???? I STARTED this damned thread."
No one jumped on you, we simply stated the facts based on what we were actually seeing. On the other hand, you starting yelling at us.
