Bead-Seating Tool For Tubeless Tires

Bead-Seating Tool for Tubeless Tires FARM SHOP Tools 15-5-4 You can easily seat tubeless tires of all sizes ù from 15 in. ATV's to large truck tires ù with the new "Cheetah" bead-seating tool from Tire Service Equipment Co., Phoenix, Ariz. It consists of a 5 gal. air tank which sends a sudden blast of air between the tire and rim to seat the toughest tire beads. To seat a tire once it's on the rim, you first hook your air compressor hose to the valve stem. Turn the air on and leave it on. You then hand-hold the Cheetah over the tire, placing its outlet nozzle between the rim and casing. Now, pull the trigger on the Cheetah to send a blast of air into the casing, causing the top bead to suddenly pop up tight against the rim. The instant the top bead hits the rim, the opening is sealed for a split second ùlong enough so air coming in through the valve stem gets locked in and can no longer escape. A key feature of the Cheetah is that one size fits all size tires up to large truck tires. It's portable (weighs less than 25 lbs.), affordable (sells for $370), and is equipped with an automatic pop-off safety-release valve and pressure gauge.
