Product Features

• Clamps in a solidly mounted bench vise and works for a variety solid urethane wheelchair tires
• For use with 22" to 26" tires
• Included pegs are 7/16", and 5/8" (the 7/16" peg is used for 7/16", 1/2", and 12 mm inner diameter bearings). The 5/8" peg is used for stretching the tire.

Most solid wheelchair tires are made smaller than the rim they fit and require a substantial amount of stretching to install. With this tool you can mount the wheel and tire onto the tool and as you turn the wheel the large steel peg will stretch the tire onto the rim. It makes quick work of installing solid wheelchair tires of all types onto most wheelchair rims.

Please Note
Your bench vise has to be mounted securely to a solid surface (such as a work bench). The work bench (or other surface) itself must be securely fastened to the floor or wall. Remember, you will be using a great deal of force to stretch the tire onto the rim and using an unsecured work surface could pose a danger. ANY MOVEMENT OF YOUR VISE OR WORKBENCH NEGATES THE FORCE YOU ARE PUTTING ON THE TIRE WHILE STRETCHING AND AS A RESULT IT WILL NOT WORK!
