Currently Tire Irons and a Harbor Fraught Bead Breaker. I just rolled the dice and ordered a Constands changer off eBay. The outfit is German (with questionable review history) and product is Chinese with even more questionable build quality. Could not bring myself to drop close to a grand on the Rabaconda. I know, penny wise, pound foolish, buy one cry once, etc etc etc.

This venture will either work great or fail spectacularly. I'll advise either way.

I bought a Constands tire changer and I got it to work well once I bolted it to a wall so I could lean into it. Using it on the floor was extremely difficult, especially being a senior. For the price, I think it is a great value and now I am freed from taking it in to a shop for tire changes. Especially since I use both road and 50/50 tires depending on where I am going. Now I just put on whatever I want. Takes a couple hours including wheel removal and tire balancing. But that is what the drive times would be taking it in to a shop and retrieving them later.

Many alternate tire changers look like they work way easier. But the price of them is multiples of the Constands.
