Harbor Freight Pittsburgh Bead Breaker Review. This comes nicely shipped and packaged, very easy to assemble. However, the frame base is very flimsy. Would not break the bead on a 15" tire. Base frame and handle were bending. I reinforced the base with 1 1/2" angle iron and it made a huge difference. Popped the tire right off the rim. I recommend this product but there is no way around the fact that modifications will need to be made to make it a truly must have tool in the garage for the do it yourselfer. :cheers::party36:
