I like it. It's what I use when I change my tires at home.
One can’t carry a full-size bead breaker on the road, but this lightweight (4 oz.) resin wedge and any big heavy item like a rock (or other improvised bludgeon) will do the same job. Simple but effective. Somehow satisfying. For shop or roadside use. It’s inexpensive and it works. So whack it.
Whack it, eh? Have they been visiting Dr. Weil's website?

Oh wow, I didn't see this before. Steve, you are sharing forbidden Speakeasy knowledge with non-members of the forum!

And being funny to boot.
