Purpose and fit

The Ken Tool 31713 Aluminum Bead Holder is a brake tool designed to hold the tyre bead in place during mounting or demounting. Its special C-Lok shape fits nearly all passenger, light truck, agriculture and truck wheels without slipping off. It suits professional workshops and fleet operators who service mixed wheel types.

Wheel compatibility

The holder works on aluminum, alloy and steel wheels, making it a single tool for the full range of wheel materials encountered in a typical shop. Aluminium construction is lightweight yet very strong and is less likely to mar alloy wheel surfaces. Super single and super wide wheels are also accommodated.

Handling and safety

The aluminium body keeps the tool light for repeated use while maintaining the strength needed for heavy truck wheels. No batteries are required and the tool contains no powered components. A Proposition 65 warning applies, noting potential cancer and reproductive harm. Country of origin is Brazil.
