Removing CMP tires from rusted &*^%%* rims..

[rob love]

Here is the similar tool but air powered. Much heavier but it saves all the wrenching. Because the shop I work in is smaller, I am able to get by with this as opposed to a larger machine like the Coats5000HIT.

Mike C and Mr Hupp had a demonstration of it last sdummer when they were by the museum.

The tool shown (Branick TTR) does show up as surplus from time to time. I have one at home myself which I picked up for $75 from my favorite surplus yard. It works well on the CMP rims and on most of the 20 inch rims, although the offset on the Honest John 5 ton rims does not allow this tool to clamp on.
