The Bead Buster! A Must Have Offroad Tool - Tire Bead Breaker - Review + How To Use - XB-550/455

[@flat4314]

I've had one for years it works great I've done probably around 500 tires with it I'm still using my original one but after a few years the threads wore completely through I had to weld a nut to it for new threads and it's as good as new again.

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Great tip! I feel I'll have mine for many years too. It's gonna take me a while to catch up to your 500 tire count! lol

[@newyorkmike40342]

Hey man !! I can't remember if I told you, but I bought one. It works great and it's small enough, I keep it in the tool bag in the rzr, Thanks for telling me about it and where to buy it. Rocky Mountain ATV, if you viewers missed that part. See ya in the woods !

[@RocksNRuts4]

had one for a few yrs, cool tool for sure. keep these comin

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Great tool to have in the trailer for riding weekends!

[@miller440x]

Ive had one for a few years as well, it works great

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

I can't believe I wasted so much time and effort over the years using one of those ghetto manual tire machines... wish I knew about this thing years ago, lol.

[@RocksNRuts4]

good vid man, i like learning how to's .rims are sick. sweet home too!

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Thanks X3 Rob! Glad you found the video interesting. I really like the way the rims look too. You'll see them on the upcoming ride video! Yes, I am lucky to have a nice home to live in with a huge shop!

Thanks that's a handy tool. Never seen one before. 🤠

Another outstanding tech video my friend

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Thanks Randy! Glad you enjoyed this little edit. I had to share this product, it's awesome. We've already used it on a ride! You'll see in an upcoming video.

[@gregbell496]

That is the best one, the smaller one can be a pain and hard to get a good grip. I have it and have already ordered that exact one.

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Awesome feedback! Thanks man! I was blown away with how well this thing worked. I can't believe I didn't hear about this thing years ago.

[@gregbell496]

@@AdrenalineJunkieProd I see it a couple years ago on a sxsblog video but it was the smaller one and I ordered it. It works but if your rims have any angle you really need to push on it ro grab. I spoke with Cory with krx and asked him to invite you to the charity ride I am doing for the SxS Ontario group at Ray's place July 23 and 24. I got a couple sponsors for it and would love to have you come out and ride. Sat is the poker run and Sunday is a group ride for anyone that stays or wants to ride all proceeds go to the Sunshine foundation of Canada they help children with disabilities and their families

Once we get closer to the date we will confirm but we will try to be there. We love riding out there! Appreciate the invite! Tell Corny to give you my contact info.

Where do you get those muff pods to heat food?

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Just search muff pot on Amazon or muffler pot. They are 20-30 dollars usually.

[@driv3n758]

Man I wish mickey thompson et street r's would mount that easy for my Hellcat! Getting the front bead secured is a major PITA. Cool tool and great review!

[@alexnscn]

and here i am using a sledge hammer!! i need this in my life

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Hey... I'm yet to see something in life a big hammer can't fix... if the hammer you are using isn't doing the job the only logical step is to increase your hammer size... convince me otherwise... LOL!

Getting one for sure, thanks for sharing man

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Glad you found the video informative! I wish I knew about this style of bead breaker years ago. I've wasted sooo much time an energy with lesser products, lol. I wont even mention how many rims I've destroyed in the process, LOL!

I want one! And I work at a tire store! Lol great video man

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Glad you enjoyed the video! It's a badass product. It won't replace a proper tire machine in a shop but it will go a lot more places then that tire machine, lol.

[@montanamountainutv]

@@AdrenalineJunkieProd exactly! Thinking I need one in my enclosed trailer, good addition to my tools.

[@jemadv1594]

Nice video/ tool... I've been using a trailer tongue jack OR drive trk. on to tire sidewall, to break bead. (Depending on wheel) Like that 550 tool but $250+ is a little steep for what it is. Did Google search and Wal-Mart pops up with a different brand name replica for $59.00 (to my door) Yeah! I'll test it for that price. would have given $100-150 for Beadbuster brand but $250. Gonna try this knock off. Thanks for the tip. 👍

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Let me know how the knock off works out! Ya, they are a little pricey but I don't mind spending a few extra bucks on a product that works well that I will have for many years to come. When I can I rather support the brand that developed a product over the replicators in the market. However, it's not always an option when money is concerned. You gotta go where the budget allows, I totally understand that and it's often a deciding factor for me too.

[@jemadv1594]

@@AdrenalineJunkieProd Me too. $100-150 would have supported the brand. Bead Buster offered a China made replica about 5+ yr. ago for less. Maybe this is it under a different name? 🤔 Fisher's did a video about 8 yr. ago showing all the models. (Yellow was China brand.)

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

@@jemadv1594 Ya, I saw the video he did. I checked out a bunch of their products and it looks like the smaller yellow models are being manufactured in Taiwan. However, they are still under the Bead Buster brand name. With that being said, this is a really easy product to duplicate and knock off. I wouldn't be surprised if the overseas clones are pretty much identical. It's just the way our marketplace is these days. Design a product and hope you can build a strong enough brand, as well as, saturate the market quickly early on before the scavengers and bottom feeds creep in and duplicate it.

[@robertoanger6971]

Great video! Incredibly informative. A must have.

[@XMARGH]

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Thanks for checking out the video man! Glad you think it's a cool product.

[@PhilDerillo]

Great tool to have. If you don’t mind me asking, why are you changing your wheels? Those Lok2s are sick.

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Ya it’s a sweet tool for sure. I’m changing the wheels because the Lok 2’s have the wrong offset. I wanted to go back to a proper offset wheel in order to maintain stock scrub radius on the front end.

[@stacyreid5077]

I watched Brian Fisher on their channel use the ATV size a couple months ago and have wondered how the bigger versions would do on a SXS tire I’d love to get the big version to carry in my truck and one possibly to carry in my 40ft gooseneck trailer for bigger heavy duty tires

[@justinfee819]

Pretty cool tool 👍

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

I thought so! Which is why I needed to add one to the arsenal, lol.

[@justinfee819]

@@AdrenalineJunkieProd Those tires are sick I may need to have a set of those

[@beliefisnotachoice]

Thanks for sharing that tool. Didn't know such a think existed but I need one. Do you have any trouble with your bead locks leaking air, a pound or so a day? I've had that problem with at least one tire on my last two sets of tires. Is there a sealant or anything that helps that you would recommend?

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Ya, it's a wicked tool! I haven't had any issues for quite a while. Not to the level of a pound a day. Generally its caused by debris or a bend in the rim. You could run some bead sealer on it but it's messy stuff and not sure if it will help. It might for a small leak. I know a lot of people like to run slime, I've had good luck with slime in the past but not sure how it will help with your bead leak. Are you sure its the beadlock? Have you checked the valve stem with soapy water and the valve core? Maybe try inflating the wheel to about 30psi and seeing if that helps you locate the specific spot it's leaking. In the past i've removed the ring and cleaned the tire and wheel well and solved similar issues. It's always a pain dealing with this kinda stuff.

[@samuelwilliams8560]

Jason, did you fill that tire with air from a compressor, or CO2 from a tank? CO2 leaks through rubber a lot faster than air, so if that tire was filled up on a trail with a CO2 tank, that may explain why it appears to be leaking faster. Background: The permeability of a gas through rubber depends mainly on its diffusivity and solubility in rubber. CO2 has a significantly higher solubility in rubber than O2 and N2, whereas the diffusion coefficients don’t differ that much. The result is that carbon dioxide (CO2) passes through ordinary rubber about 5 times faster than oxygen (O2) and about 15 times faster than nitrogen (N2). Google “Permeability of Rubber to Gases by Junius David Edwards and S.F. Pickering” for more details. It’s a scientific study from 1920, but still relevant today, over 100 years later.

Any update on you moving south?

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Currently I'm waiting on my paperwork to get moving. With all the stuff going on in the world things are even slower then usual. I'm at a stage right now where I just need to wait cause there isn't much I can do. Once things start rolling into the next phase I'll start getting excited! Can't wait.

Good review, !!!!

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Thanks Jim! Quality products almost review themselves. This was an easy one.

[@RCM_KR3W]

Hey bro what offset are you running on those new wheels?

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

The new wheels are a proper 5+2 offset which on a 32 inch tire brings my scrub radius back to factory or better specifications. The previous wheels had the wrong offset.

[@RCM_KR3W]

Ok nice man! thanks 🤙

Which side by side has the most leg room? I’m 6’4” with really long legs. I’ve sat in everything Polaris makes and they’re all too cramped. I’ve not sat in a KRX1000 or any CanAm units yet.

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Hey Arthur, I'm 6'4 and feel comfortable in the RZR. A lot of guys say the Kawasaki machines are more roomy when it comes to the cabin. I feel the X3 is much more cramped. Your never gonna get cabin space as roomy as a new quad cab pickup or a Cadillac Escalade though, so keep in mind that guys our size with always be banging their knees off things.

[@nottomgreen]

@@AdrenalineJunkieProd Thank you sir for the information!

[@joesageser9707]

Ind a KRX you'll love the comfort

[@uscstaylor]

Will it scratch the rim

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

There is an optional additional plastic cover you can run on it to further reduce chance of scratching. Generally speaking it doesn’t cause any damage if you are careful but at times it can leave a small make on the inside of the rim and bead but you can’t see it because it’s under the tire. I wouldn’t use it on a set of expensive car wheels but for anything else it works great.

[@oldironfarm]

Next video show them how to set a bead out on the trail.

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

I've shown that in quite a few of my trail ride videos. Brake cleaner or ether and a lighter work great! lol
