What are your thoughts?

Seems a bit pricey, and I may be wrong but I do not think it would work while on the trail....

Any other gadgets you seen that look interesting? Like to see other stuff

I can't imagine it would work at all on the trail.

Looks like a cool gadget, but not $150 cool.

Nope, if i have to use something it will be a hilift and rope or the special lift device on a hilift

I use a large crow bar

 

[FordBronc]

Use the 4 way, stick 2 of the arms under the tire and lift the middle. Or X2 use a large prybar.

Do not get this one, its TOO BIG/WIDE, even after I cut it down and made it narrower. I was using it on 35x14.50x15's. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08G15CNZS/?tag=classicbroncos-20

Works just like the shovel that is very useful for all kinds of things.

I’ve got enough prybars at hand for that task. Certainly ain’t worth the $150 price tag.

I sit on my butt while using steel toed boots for my 37"s. At the right height and move my toes to line up bolt holes.
I have a few conveyor track rollers I may use to build one that can spin tire while lifting it.

Go jacks.

That is a lot of money for a bent piece of scrap metal.

Couldn't have said it better myself! And as far as using it on the trail, not a chance.

You could use it on the trail, just remember to bring your hatchet to chop down a sapling to use as your fulcrum... And if you are fat and out of shape like me, some beer for after you chop the sapling down while you recover.

Looks like it could be multipurposed. Everyone needs a burger flipper on the trail.

 

[FORD*DIEHARD]

I'm not thinking about buying one, I do the same thing while changing my 35's , sit down and use both feet to lift and turn until the lug nut holes line up.

Just wanted to see what others thought of this and see what other "tools" other have come across that made things easier to work on their vehicles and stuff such as this tool ?

I looked at it too just because well I'm getting old! On a paved garage floor it looks like a great idea. Not $150 great idea but if I had splurge money maybe I would. Lifting the tire is half the battle trying to rotate it so the studs line up is where things go sideways. I appreciate the ingenuity.

 

[Yeller]

This is the best tire install tool I’ve ever came across. If you don’t have one, you probably need one unless you live in an apartment

Much less than $150 and has lots of other uses. Used it to install everything from 33’s to tractor tires taller than me.

I use my foot for up to 35's. Haven't had cause to install anything bigger. Roll the tire up onto it and then lift my heel as necessary. Helps that most of my boots are "steel toe". For bigger I would resort to Yeller's tool.
