XtraHand® Clamp Tire Bead Depressor Tool

The XtraHand® Clamp is a specialized tool designed to make tire demounting easier, especially when working solo. It serves as a bead depressor, helping to keep the sidewall pushed down and the tire bead centered in the drop center of the wheel during the tire removal process. Here's a summary of its features and usage notes:

Key Features:

• Rubberized Coating: The super rubberized coating helps protect the wheel from scratches during tire demounting.
• Heavy-Duty Steel Frame: The tool is built with a steel frame for durability, while the non-marring tip ensures that the wheel is protected.
• Improved Efficiency: By holding the bead in place, it helps make the demounting process faster and less frustrating, particularly for difficult tires.
• Solo Use: It is especially useful for those working by themselves, as it helps hold the tire in place, making it easier to get the demount tip under the bead.
• Compatible with Most Tubeless Tires: It works with a wide range of motorcycle and automotive wheels.
• Sold Individually: Recommended to purchase a set of 3 for optimal efficiency.

Usage:

• Demounting Only: The XtraHand® Clamp is designed for use during tire demounting/removal only. It should not be used as a bead keeper.
• Not Suitable for Certain Bikes: It's not recommended for use with certain tires, such as those on Gold Wing GL1800, knobby tires, or most Harley-Davidson models. It can fit on large BMW GS wheels but isn't necessary in most cases.

Warranty:

• Lifetime Warranty on the rubberized coating.
• 90-Day Warranty for the rest of the tool.
• Limitations: Damage caused by improper use (such as using it with a pneumatic or powered tire changer) is not covered by the warranty.

Application Notes:

• Bead Depressor Only: The XtraHand® should never be used as a bead keeper. For bead keeping, the YellowThing® tool is recommended.
• Mount/Demount Bar: When used with the patented Mount/Demount bar, it ensures scratch-free tire changes.

If you're looking for a tool to make tire demounting smoother, especially when you're working alone, the XtraHand® Clamp can be a very helpful addition to your tire-changing toolkit.
