Default Bead breaker

Is your bead breaker a currently available tool or one of those wonderful simple pieces of kit that still serve a purpose but just can't be found in this modern age? You've probably seen lots of us commenting on how much work it is to take tires off CMP rims. It seems that your tool has all that is needed. It clamps to the rim to hold it in place and uses a simple screw to press down on the tire carcass. Has someone been using a cheater bar on the handle of the screw and bending it? If so does that mean that the machine is at the limits of its capacity working on these tires?
If it is a current piece of kit, what is the maker/source? Thanks.
