    I have no doubt that the products described in other posts here are superior to the home made device I described in my earlier post.

    However, I am now curious.

    Has anyone else ever seen or used such a device?

    If so was your impression the same as mine?

    I was using it on old 750x16 crossplies and it worked well on them.

    IVe seen someting similar being just a tyre leaver modded by the welding of a couple of flat bars near the business end of the leaver.

    Im not a big fan of it as if you get a nicely siezed on tyre your going to shake the brown stuff out of your hand or foot depending on how your holding it down.

    a better version of this uses the same type bar but also requires a second bar thats round, solid and spaded at the end like a normal tyre leaver but thinner and wider. hammer that in and work it a bit then put the next bar on top and hamme that home then lever it down. The prinicpal is similar to the tyre pliers.

    another tip for resealing the tyre onto the rim (apart from the higher risk lighter fluid approach) is to use an inflated pushbike tyre tube of the same diameter as the rim in between rim and tyre to stop air loss as you're slowly pumping the tyre up (assuming you don't have a storage cylinder like most of us). As the tyre starts sealing, deflate/remove bike tube - effective and safe solution for $5...
