Customer Reviews for VEVOR Tire Bead Seater, 2.1 Gal/8 L Air Tire Bead Blaster, 120 PSI Handheld Bead Bazooka, Portable Tire Inflator Tool, 85-116 PSI Operating Pressure for Tractor Truck ATV Car and Automobile Repair

Must have. Buy it right now

Despite the overall weight, it's easy to handle and makes the tedious jobs of setting cold tires much easier

This is the best bead seater I have used. Not sure how some of the components (valves etc) will hold up long term. But I have aired up implement tires and semi tires, all heavy wall hard to seat tires and so far it has not failed one time. A must have for any shop doing tire work.

I have purchased many Vevor products. Never disappointed. And this time is no different. Great product. Very well made. Works great and great price. Would definitely recommend!

I got this because it was available to me for free in return for a review from Amazon's Vine review program. I'm shamelessly admitting that it's a luxury tool, not a necessity for me. It makes life easier, but I'm 64 years old and I've lived without one until now and I could probably live to 90 and get by without owning one. But it was available and I said, \"Oh yeah...\" One of life's minor irritations is little tubeless tires that go flat, lose the bead's seat on the rim and then never are used again, or must be reclaimed by hard work involving the use of screwdrivers as levers, a ratchet strap around the center of the tire or (very dangerously) a blast of starter fluid. I just replaced two pneumatic tires on a hand dolly with two non-pneumatic tires because both air-filled tires had their beads become unseated. This bazooka puts a shot of compressed air into your tire to blast it onto the bead. You fill it first from a compressor, then stick it between bead and rim on the side of the tire opposite the tire valve and press the valve button on the handle to release a blast of air into the tire, seating the bead. Works well on tires from dollies and lawn tractors up to car tires.

I've always used a cheetah in the past, but this is much more light weight and has enough volume to seat all the tires I've used it on so far.

I've used a similar device and it worked great to get the beads to seat on my truck tires. That one used a large ball-valve while this one uses a trigger mechanism which makes it much easier to hold securely and activate.

I wouldn't call this a commercial based unit as the blow nozzle is plastic. However it is well built and should hold up anyways. I don't like where the aid chuck is. As you can see in the picture, it needs to be repositioned. It is difficult to get a presurized line attached quickly with limited space with gloves on. I will likely put a 90 degree fitting to correct that issue. The other thing I had and issue with was the fitting for the air hose connection. It doesn't snug up on my air chuck correctly so there is a air leak, however I am not sure if it is on my end or this unit (guessing this as all my other tools don't leak). This is minor IMO. Functionally this works very well, even with items discussed above this unit purges air quickly from full to empty in a fraction of a second allowing you to seat a bead safely. The plastic head nozzle is my biggest concern long term, that is the item that rests on the rim to the tank itself. I cannot down grade the item due to this as it seals properly and works great. The fill nozzle can be replaced without an issue and a 90 degree turn in would do wonders but again that can be done myself, tank is metal and easy to hold onto while beading. Has a safety cover over the purge switch (not handle) to prevent accidental dischage. I am very impressed with the unit.

I was a little worried about this cheater tank because of the volume. Once I swapped the blow off valve with one that blows off little higher it works great. The nozzle is adjustable so you don't have to hold at weird angles. It works so well I've gotten the nozzle tip caught in the bead as she setting.

A little cheap on the fit and finish, but dumps air immediately. Seat a 11r-22.5 tire quite easily. Definitely impressed.
