Upgrade Manual Tire Changer Duck Head Kit with Tire Changer Duck Head Fit for Most Car Tires (Without Silver Cone)

Very good quality, works great on harbor freight tire changer.

Don't know how long it'll last, but it works great

I can’t give this for five stars because there are a few flaws but I guess it’s made to fit multiple different manual tire machines. So it takes a marginal at best tire machine and makes it slightly above marginal. It is a game changer if you have rims that you don’t want to get scratched. Tire spoons are fine for old farm equipment etc. but if you have nice aluminum wheels on your car etc. this does vastly reduce the chance of doing any damage to those wheels. It is pretty easy to operate surprisingly does not require much force for normal tires. I don’t imagine that this would be a viable option for extremely low profile like these kids have nowadays, but for your average Chevy, or dodge or ford or Other car with normal tires that should work fine as an add-on to your existing tire machine. The build quality is typical for the land that it comes from. But it works.

I bought this after watching YouTube reviews of a similar one, this one just happened to be a good price and arrived sooner than the competition. I've never used my portable tire changer from Hazard Fraught, but after watching videos on YT of how to use THAT, this device was reviewed over and over as the best upgrade, and they weren't wrong!! However, the HF bar doesn't exactly fit in the end of the square pipe to use it as leverage, but it wasn't really an issue.As far as THIS device is concerned, I personally like the handle style. It is spring loaded, so you pull out to readjust, which I find more convenient that the fixed style I saw on other models. It's simple to use: draw the duck bill bar in to the rim, once the height is set, you don't have to change it for multiple tires, just the in/out. The silver cone was too small for my 6 lug trailer tire centers, so having a bigger cone would have been better for my use. I just eye balled it and it was fine. Some of the other kits had the bigger cone, but not knowing that was an issue, I didn't pursue those options. I will probably buy one as an add on.All in all for my use, I removed 4 tires and installed 4 tires, and there was a learning curve, but it was easy! Also, LUBE LUBE LUBE your tires/rims and duck bill. I just used dawn and water, but that makes all the difference!

Best add on for the manual tire changer. I have the newest black one from Harbor freight. Makes less work for sure.

The mount that connects the pivot arm to the duckhead arm has weak welds & poorly placed tension screws. The ad picture shows the tensions screws 90 degrees from one another, but it doesn’t come that way, it shows up with them 180 from each other. What happens is when you go to remove the tires, all the pressure is on the pivot bar tension nut and the weld breaks. The welds on this are poor, you will find the same said in other reviews. They are small tack welds with no penetration in the metal, so they can’t withstand the strain and break. What you will have to do is remove the nut, drill a hole 90 degrees from the other & weld it in. If you don’t have ability to do that, then this probably won’t work for you. As for function, it works generally as described. I have a harbor freight machine and this fit it without issue. If you have ever done tires before with a proper rim clamp machine, this isn’t too far off from that. It will just require much more effort & messing with the tires to get it on & off, but it works.

Fantastic attachment. I love it. Well worth it. It definitely makes removing and installing tires on rims and lot easier. I recommend it.

Product makes the HFT manual tire assembly much easier to use. 4 Stars for just two reasons. 1) the square tube to rotate the duck head is 1/4 inch too small to fit the HFT handle. 2) The EZ turn tightening bolts are undersized and really don't lock the round tube in place.
