Just seen this mentioned in another post and reminded me. Anyone know were to buy one? I looked over all creation a while back and never did find one. If you don't know what I am talking about, it is an adjustable band to fit around tires and blow up to seat tire beads.

they are rather expensive and don't work on everything. (ie not a magic tool)
last one we bought at the tire store was around 175$.

I rarely use those things. I normally use this tool, a Cheetah.

But when none of these tools are available the simple Carb-Kleen and propane torch does wonders. Special thanks to the Discovery Channel, LOL!!!

The band is what I'm looking for, but pic doesn't link to a supplier. I used one of them for about two years in high school while working installing tires. Not worth $175 to me, didn't realize they cost that much. I have a small ten gallon air tank that I could adapt like that Cheetah.

The second picture does link to NAPA online that sells the tire band for $254.29.

You can use a rachet strap to do the same thing as the band. I have used them on every thing fron a 4" lawnmower up to big off road tires. Use caution when releasing the strap!

baja72: I think you are probably right. I need some new straps for my utility trailer anyway. Thanks Guy's!
