It is much safer and easier to use than any other bead breakers on the market. Be sure to do this slowly as the foot presses the tire off its seat. The BeadBuster is ruggedly designed, built entirely from steel with solid welds, uses Grade-5 and Grade-8 zinc-plated screws, and is proudly MADE IN USA Most importantly, the BeadBuster is effective at removing stubborn tire beads.

Lay your wheel and tire combo on the floor of the garage and add a touch of soapy water to the rim’s lip. Here’s a look at how the XB-450 gets the job done.ġ. The hard part for most tools is that the tire sidewall can be very flexible and allow tools to move around then loose grip on the bead. With steel rims the lip can become rusty and some inner bead lips on aluminum wheels are very good at holding the tire in place. Most ATV tires can be very hard to break off the rim when you need to replace them or simply clean out the extra dirt should you take a good digger into a trail bank. It wasn’t long before we were on the phone asking for a unit so we could test it out for ourselves.
The demonstration from the inventor made the job of breaking a tire’s bead seem ridiculously simple. We first saw the BeadBuster at American International Motorcycle Expo this past October. This tool is approximately four inches square and breaks the bead on any ATV or UTV tire in a few steps.
Sometimes the simplest things bring about moments of “why didn’t I think of that.” Recently we had the opportunity to get our hands on a new small and very portable tool called the BeadBuster XB-450.
