Was wondering if anybody has ever used one and if they are worth the money

i just like to use a crowbar and air compreser its pretty easy to change the tires by hand just make sure you put a lot of dishsoap where the seal is to help it slide into place then turn on your air compresser and wedge the tire into its proper spot... how many tires would you need to change??

I have 2 karts and both need tires, plus the neighborhood kids are always needing their tires fixed

All you really need is a bead breaker, one like this RLV 0028 model would work way better for less $$$:

Ive never been able to change riding mower sized tires even with a crowbar.

blue you have to put dish soap around the bead and slide it on one side at a time... i have changed many lawnmower tires with this method and it works great!!
