Technicians Choice Red Mount/Demount Head for Hunter Tire Changers – Heavy-Duty Nylon Insert for Rim Protection - 0343-R

Cobbled up a tire changing tool and added this. It makes it a breeze to dismount/Mount tires

I bought this and a cheap, $35 bracket thing that holds this duck bill to use it on most manual tire changers. I have an old Coats machine. That system works fine but its a bit of a PITA to take on and off every time you move or flip the tire. There are several videos showing guys who welded a short angle iron to a 4-5 foot pipe or fence post so there is no need to remove and replace it. Next time I need to mount tires I'm gonna weld one up and speed/simplify things a bit. The extra leverage with be a plus also. This part is great though. Tough and a big improvement over any other manual tool. Thanks DS

This part makes a crappy job so much easier

Perfect 👌 for

Duck head quality made material with a smooth finish, very functional as described. Easy to install as all the holes fitted perfect. Good price!

I purchased this as a spare duckhead to use on my Krysolad branded "Bearing Manual Tire Changer Duck Head Adapter Kit" for my Harbor Freight manual tire changer. This is a near perfect match to the duckhead included in the Krysolad kit. The only differences that I could see are the "TCP6" embossed text from the molding on the Krysolad part and a very slight shift in the red nylon plastic coloring. This item has very small/fine lightly embossed "TCP" text on the center recessed surface. The nylon feels and appears to be the same quality. The bolt pattern is an exact match. I haven't used this part, so I cannot rate its durability. However, these duckhead mount/demount parts are inherently not as durable as the metal variety, but they should last a while if kept indoors (to avoid damage from climate changes and UV exposure) and not abused during use. I like having spare wear and tear parts on hand, so I don't delay the job any more than I have to. Only time and extended use will tell if I made the best choice.

holding up good so far

I was inspired by Barry B's review picture of the wooden headed tool holder he made. As I don't have a machine shop and chunks of steel lying around So I made up a similar tool to replace the harbor freight install bar (which I could not get to work). Got to use it yesterday on my sons car that has 19" wheels. It did take 2 of us to use it, but it worked great! Thanks Barry :) Just made up a cheaper, easier to make tool support for the duck bill head - adding photos
