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.

Amazing

Works great!

So much better than a regular bead blaster. Makes seating beads a blast!

Will make your life a lot easier!

As an owner/operator I’ve had it for a while and set dozens of semi tires. It’s super fast and easy way to set and seal the bead. I used it on my car tires as well.

Pay only ones and will last a lifetime. This the best for any tire shop.

Works as I expected. And I expected to send a golf ball 200 mph! And out over 400 yards. ( not for the faint of hart) Granted for those that would use for the tools proper design I'm sure it would meet or exceed expectations.
