All the proper fitters round here use bead breakers like mine. We used to have the sliding hammer type years ago, but that dissapeared at some point & I'm fed up of fannying around with hammers & pipes/bars etc.

I managed it on the 135...
Would have been easier without the sawbench fitted and the jack in a better location. Takes a bit of practice to get the right position for the toes to be pulled in behind the rim.

I was tempted to get just the breaker attachment as I have a hand pump for my hole punch unit, but having it foot controlled/air pumped makes it a bit easier & at the price I couldn't resist.

Had to be done, there were far too many instances when it would have been handy

The time it took to get here I suspect it did indeed come via Australia!

I convinced one of the young shop assistants to sell me some of the racking.
I also managed to grab some little tables for the kennels, they will give the dogs something to jump up on when they are lying out in the sunshine.
My old man bagged a petrol hedge trimmer £89 cheaper than we could find it anywhere else too.

After reading this last night had a google and discovered the home base near where we are on holiday is closing, went for a look this morning, I would appear to have a ryobi tool addiction, haven't decided if its the luggage or the wife I'll have to leave here as I've bought half the store.

Then you get home and find half the rams have the slots in the edge (or nothing, like my tractor) instead of holes.....

I'll get a pic when back to the lodge later, ended up with 2 drills and 2 circular saws as I already had them but it was cheaper to buy a new kit with themin just for the grinder and batteries rather than a bare grinder.
