Gaither Handheld Bead Bazooka - 2nd Generation, Bead Seater Tool with Rapid Air Release, for Passenger, Commercial, and Agricultural Vehicles

I use this commercially for my mobile trailer repair business. I buy a lot of tires on Amazon and other value places. It is common for tire manufacturers to stack their tires in huge stacks because it saves on space. However, it creates a problem of a very flat tire with a lot of memory and a very small gap between the side walls. I tried one of the sideways tank guns with the ball valve, but that was completely useless for a flat G rated tire that is super squished from storage. This gun solves that problem Because the air exits super fast In a "pop". There are some similar ones out there I've tried that look a little bit different that are copies of this tool with an external flat valve, but this one is vastly better performing. The way the science works, the capacity isn't nearly as important as the the speed of the valve and how quick the air can exit the valve. You can have a lot of air but if the initial blast is not fast, you won't get the impulse necessary to seat the bead. That's why I threw away that sideways tank one In exchange for this one. The sideways tank one stinks because it's got a gate valve and no human being can open it fast enough to be really that effective. This is a more pricey tool, but this gun has the performance you need for heavy tires like F and G rated. I've saved enough time on bead seating that it's paid for itself a few times.

This is a must have for any tire shop! What would I do without it. Even better than my old one.

Everyone needs one of these. Blow job at finger tips .

So much better than the cheap propane tank looking models. What makes it work so well is the forward facing trigger and the Y air blast nozzle. I also appreciate the trigger and fill valve guards. BTW: in your spare time, it makes an incredible potatoe and apple launcher ! Watch the Youtube videos !!!

Great product

Best tool ever specially for trailer tires

Easy to use

Fácil uso

Worked good for my 20 inch tires, able to tuck under arm and use one hand. Only problem is you can't lay it down to fill because of trigger if you use hanger you can't see guage, kind of have to hold it sideways with one hand, fill with one hand and close valve at right pressure with other hand lol..aside from that it is more expensive but it is quality not china junk

Excellent

I wish I had bought this thing sooner it works absolutely amazing I use it on all different sizes of tires everything from 14” atv wheels to 19.5 heavy duty truck wheels

Awsome product I use this for semi tires 11r22.5

This piece of equipment is amazing. My partner uses it on a regular basis. Loves the fact that it’s light to work with.
