Super handy tool. Works best with an impact driver that can spin with some serious speed.

A great break in tool and it secures the tire so it does not slip

Waited for this item to come back in stock when I sold mine to help out a fellow racer early this season. This is the most straight forward tire prep tool I have found. Ships in a clear sleeve to protect the threads while in you tool kit. It has not backed off on me and holds the wheel snug in both directions. Price makes it a great value also.
