XK-New 2.0 Horsepower Tire Changer Wheel Changers Machine Combo Balancer Rim Clamp 580-690 with 36 Month Part Replacements

Very nice machines for the money I wouldn't want to buy these for a tire shop but for 20-30 tires a year these are great. Tire machine works flawless and balancer very easy to use . Be sure you mount balancer to shop floor...

Works excellent. Wish I would’ve bought this years ago. Makes mounting and dismounting tires a breeze. Machines are pretty good quality also. FedEx unloaded it from the truck and put it in my garage with a pallet jack so I didn’t have to unload anything.

I’ve only mounted and balanced one tire to set it up. Instructions are HORRIBLE!! Luckily, there are videos that help. I don't have a tire shop and don’t really know how to use it. The bead blaster seems to do what it’s supposed to. I couldn’t seat a bead with it. I had to pack soap around the bead to get air started. The wheel balancer works great. Once again, the instructions are Horrible. I had to watch a video on the calibration process.

I’ve got expensive chrome wheels with reverse lips and low pro stretched tires. Tire guys nightmare I understand so I started doing them myself manually with a modified HF changer and it was brutal. I bit the bullet and bought this machine after doing quite a bit of research on these units. At first I was going to save some cash and get the single arm unit but I’m so glad I paid extra for the helper arms because I couldn’t do it without them. Everything works as it should. I haven’t tried the bead blaster yet because I surprisingly don’t need it. The debeader works flawlessly. I only slipped once with the clamps and that was because I didn’t have the bead pushed down on the opposite side of the duck so it was trying to stretch around everything. That was my fault. The one thing I’m struggling with is keeping the bead blaster air tight. The threads on the back of the tank and the 1inch nut connecting the blaster leaks regardless. I’ve covered the entire thing in teflon, used the correct amount, over tightened, under tightened, pipe dope, instant gasket and nothing works to seal it. It’s not leaking so much I can use the unit efficiently but just enough to make me whine. Now the balancer is a little confusing but if you follow the user manual one part at a time, it’s not too bad. It needs to be calibrated with a steelie. I tried calibrating with my regular wheel and it just shut the unit off after the second phase every time. Grabbed my steel spare and it calibrated instantly. I recommend getting the pair of units because static balancers just don’t work for wheels these days being so wide. These wheels balance like butter and it helped me see that I have a bent barrel just enough to hop down the road. Good excuse to get a new set soon. Also I want to emphasize the seller reaching out regarding shipping and getting everything taken care of. They called and I couldn’t answer because I was working but they were able to pivot to a chat and help me get the lift gate added on for free. It was shipped with fedex and the guy brought it all the way into my garage for me. The crates were stacked though with the 300lb balancer on top. Luckily I had the packaging from my couch that I used as a cushion to knock it over and from there I was able to unpack and walk it over to its corner. The changer was a little tougher but not much worse than getting a car an inch off the ground onto jackstands. Little at a time and a lot of back n forth. I bought HF casters and put under it as I slid it off the pallet. I’m glad I did because I couldn’t have walked it over by myself. I was able to get the top and both arms installed by myself too and I’m just a lil guy. I’m not hurt either so just be patient and deliberate in how you move and assemble it and you’ll be fine by yourself. I’m stoked I’ve got this machine. I really want to shred tires every weekend now just so I can use it.

The instructions are something that could be improved, however a mechanically inclined individual will figure it out. I have not operated the unit so I will update later. PROBLEMS. A bolt for the swing arm attachment was put in at the factory incorrectly and damaged the threads. NEVER install a bolt with tools, start with fingers to avoid this damage. The air gauge for the bead blaster tank has a brass nut prone to breakage. Do not overtighten. Shipping was good and packaged appropriately. One small bolt from the balancer cover was floating around in the box, luckily we found it and put it where it fell out of. Update on operation forthcoming. First tire swap performed. Off was easy. Bead breaker is powerful enough. Putting the tire on the rim was tricky. Arm wants to wander so not sure if I had it positioned correctly. Balancer is a conundrum of its own. Instructions are terrible and unclear. I’ll need to watch videos online to see what others have learned. Overall: Machine is fine. Instructions are rather useless and the writer should find a new career path.

I picked up at a local FedEx terminal, easier for me unload from my trailer at home. Changed two (2) 14” front kubota tractor tires & four (4) 15” steel rims on my Honda so far. Balanced the 15” rims. Did not have any issues, I am pleased. Calibration cycle was simple on balancer. I did not anchor the balancer to the floor yet, may need to when I balance heavier wheels. I used 3” casters, they are rated for 2,200 lbs. Works perfect to move out of way when not in use. Got them for $25 bucks on Amazon (visit WOZESEIK Store). Installation was really a breeze, just double check all air lines. Mine does not leak air at all. Worth getting this set vs some of the cheaper options. I’m a happy guy!

Purchased products to support home shop tire changes and balancing. Looked to be a great price for what i was looking to do at home. I have changed out 2 sets of tires and the equipment worked great! The second set of tire where low profile and when i went to remove the old tire i broke the assist knuckel by adding to much lift preasure. I reached out to the sypplier to see if i could purchase and new one. They contacted me back to get some pics and more information. They sent me one at no charge. The customer service was great and prompt!

This machine is junk so don’t waste your money! Instructions are HORRIBLE! And trying to get support seems impossible! Buy something American made and you can thank me later!!!!!!!!!
