Once he decided to call someone an idiot, after he hijacked the damn thread instead of making a new one, I was offended. It's an oxymoron to me. He goes and does something really stupid, tries to defend it, calls someone else an idiot in a thread he hijacked.
And supposedly, this guy has years of IT experience. Yet, doesn't know how to create a new thread, vs hijack an already existing one. And then wants to argue with others about it. How stupid can a person be?
Actually, no, it wasn't restarted. Changing the subject alone doesn't automagically create a new thread, too. Talk about typical id10t problem. Pot kettle, black in your case, friend.

How many years of IT experience was it you claimed to have? Yet, you can't even properly use your usenet client? And, you want to call others idiots? What an asshat.
You argue with others about hijacking the thread, you thought! you created a new one, but, you didn't.
You recommend the wrong products for the job
You bitch when someone notices the video is showing a motorcyle tire being changed, because the products you suggested actually are for that purpose, and, NOT for the purpose of changing a passenger car tire.
You call the guy an idiot and offer no apology for that or recommending the wrong stuff and jumping on him when he originally notices?
Took my wife and daughter out to Costco this afternoon - and noticed they had the Luminous brand 4 ft 19 watt LED direct replacement tubes on for $20 a pair (actualy $19.99). They are 4000K, 2200 lumens and when I replaced the T12s in the basement the new ones are noticeably brighter - the existing tubes are likely 5 years old. They are CSA approved for installation in an unmodified fixture with either magnetic or electronic ballasts.
That's the last flourescents of any type now taken out of service in the house - and the only incandescents left are in the bathrooms (decorative style :fat alberts) and in the garage (Halogen reflector floods). Everything else is now LED including outdoor motion sensors.

I finally broke down and bought the HF Pittsburgh Bead Breaker, Harbor Freight item 92961. (

I used that harbor freight bead breaker to break the beads on four difficult steel-rim wheels with Optimo P235/75R15 108T thick-sidewall tires seemingly glued on.

After using it successfully (not without a few curses), I conclude the HF standalone bead breaker sucks but it sucks differently than the bead breaker attachment on the Harbor Freight tire changing tool.

The HF tire changing tool bead breaker is fine for the three passenger tires I've done now, but it's far too weak (puny would be more apropos) for the strong sidewall SUV tires.

Luckily (as Clare kindly warned me), all of what sucks in both tools can be "fixed" if you know ahead of time what to modify (as Clare has kindly shown us):

What sucks about the tire-changing tool bead-breaker attachment is: a. The bead-breaker arms are too weak (and bend like a pretzel) b. The clevis pins (thanks Clare) are far too sloppy (replace with bolts) c. The bead breaker arc is far too small (about 1/2 to 1/4 of what you need d. The tire iron twists out of your hands (use a vise grip to prevent that) e. The tire iron is too soft so it bends when used as a lever (use pipe) f. The base *must* be bolted down for SUV tires which require turning force HF Pittsburgh Bead Breaker, Harbor Freight item #92961

What sucks about the standalone bead breaker tool is: a. The base is far too short for big tires b. The base has no attachment holes for securing to concrete or pallets c. The lever action isn't all that powerful (but it's strong enough) HF Pittsburgh Manual Tire Changer, Harbor Freight item #62317

Here is the first method that I used as an expediency to temporarily "extend" the base of the HF bead breaking tool (it was a steel shelf from a Costco shelf rack):

Here is the second method that I used to extend the base (it's just a board of wood that I had lying around):

I changed multiple car tires easily with both tools, but SUV 108T P235/75 tires stressed both tools to the max - where - without the emergency modifications above - I don't think you can do the job (I couldn't).
