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

This part makes a crappy job so much easier

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

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’m disappointed you have to buy a $70 mess of welded steel to use. I still don’t see this as working with handle of tire changer or need to buy this, to work. Disappointed haven’t been able to use but people love it. Hope I will too

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

I built a tire bar to use with my Harbor Freight motorcycle tire changer. It makes the job so much easier and does not scratch the wheels like the HF bar. It is well made and will probably last me a long time.
