This review is from: Ken-Tool 34647 HD Truck Tire Iron (Automotive)

Received the item in the mail and realized it was only one tire iron, from the image thought it was two iron but that's probably because I watched the demo of the tool on youtube before purchasing and they had two tools. (I'd recommend watching a demo from either the maker or someone changing a 'real' tire to ensure you understand how to use a tire iron and not hurt yourself and understand what you will be doing if you change a tire and ALWAYS ENSURE THERE IS NO AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRE) This tire iron looks pretty good and doesn't feel too heavy. It has some good tabs to help 'hook' onto the rim. When I receive my inner-tubes, I'll have to update and maybe even make a video to show if it works well. The primary reason for installing tires myself is because one tire place here is unreliable and the other doesn't want to balance tires for off road use. Also on one end of the tool it looks like it has some good groves on the rim hook to keep the tool properly positioned to be more effective in tire removal and install. I ordered this over sized tool rather than the smaller one so I would have a bit more leverage to reduce arm strain so I'll have to see how things fair out. P.S. if you are going to install tubes then makes sure you don't pinch the tube with the tool. NOTE!: if you have split rims then go to your local votech and get trained and purchase the safety cage; Split Rims are very dangerous so don't use this tool on them!
