Still using a crowbar to change tires? The Y-Barr tire tool is designed for changing large commercial tires by cradling the tire between the forks, providing an EVEN lift with great control and elevation by using leverage. Cold-rolled steel bar is used for long life and dependability, NOT steel tubing. The Y design of the forks can accommodate any tire up to 24.5 and 400 lbs.
Mechanics often come up with great tool ideas and the Y-Barr is an example of this. It is a improved version of a homemade tire tool that was used by a bus maintenance garage for many years. When a mechanic had to change a tire, they would go NUTS if they could not find this tool. It was a valuable tool around the shop, one that made a frequent job easier to do.
