WB-18-30-SS - For Compact Cars to Mid size SUV's and Pick Ups

castors are weak and very cheep compared to the rest of the boost.

I am retired (age 73) and do simple automotive maintenance for friends and family. Every oil change also gets a tire rotation. The wheel boost has been a life (back) saver. I can't thank you enough for this tool. Five stars out of 5 stars.

I bought this tool and absolutely love it. I used it to remove and replace a set of 15x8s and 19x9.5s on two very different vehicles, and for the first time, I completed both jobs without straining my back. Typically, I have to find a position—whether bending over or kneeling on one or both knees—to yank the wheels off the studs while bearing their weight, and then quickly drop them to the floor. These methods are terrible for your back because the weight is too far from your body to support properly. Any chiropractor will tell you it's not safe.

If you're thinking, "I don't need this tool, I can just sit on the floor and manage the weight with my feet while I work the wheel on and off the studs," I'll ask you: "How did you position the wheel on your toes?" That's right—either you sat down first and then twisted your body to grab the wheel, which is damaging, or you lifted the wheel while standing, sat down with it in hand, then bent forward to place it on your toes. Both techniques are bad for your body, and trust me, I've used them all over the past 30 years of working on garage floors without a commercial lift.

What I love about this tool, though, is that WB doesn’t mention some extra benefits. For example, you can remove a large wheel in tight spaces, especially when you can’t fit your body into position or crouch in front of the wheel. The 19x9.5 wheels I removed were on the passenger side, just two feet from a long garage shelving unit. There was no way to face the wheel and pull it off correctly, and I couldn’t sit and grab the wheel either. I had two options: bend over at the hips to grab the 50-pound wheel or use the Wheel Boost. I definitely didn’t want to grab the wheel and yank it off the hub (which could damage the studs). Instead, I used the WB, easily cleared the studs, and removed the wheel. I then rolled it on the WB around the vehicle to where I had more space to clean and detail it.

The second great benefit is that the WB works as a convenient wheel detailing tool. You can rotate the wheel without physically lifting and moving it in sections, saving you even more energy and preventing physical strain.

If you're like me and don't have space for a commercial lift in your garage, handle all your own wheel swaps and brake services, and want to avoid the physical strain that can take a toll on your body, then this is the tool you need.

I was very close to buying something totally different than this! More expensive, larger, bulkier, and heavier. But, Tire Boost is exactly what I need for fixing flats, and sometimes I like to remove the tires for an extensive detailing. Glad I waited!

Didn't receive the product which was ordered over 2 weeks ago. Great customer service! After notifying company product wasn't received they started a tracking but ship another immediately. Ted continued to follow up until the product was delivered. Thank you for all your help.
