Product Details

Product Details

While this arm offers an effective solution, users should exercise caution during clamping. The clamping force can cause the tool to tilt backward, potentially missing the bead bundle. Proper alignment perpendicularly to the rim’s face is crucial for breaking the bead, and additional manual pressure may be necessary to maintain this alignment.
