Coats RIM CLAMP Tire Machine For $900. Is It Any Good?

[@MrRedPants]

That wrecker has probably been the most useful thing you decided to keep. Love seeing it in action

[@darrenhawken9766]

Same with Sir Mortski ....👍

[@jeremiahthomas2669]

Yeah I would keep that thing forever

[@MetalSphere10]

When he was contemplating on what to do with the wrecker, I was thinking “oh, he’s gonna want to keep that thing around.” I knew it would be used for more than just towing cars. It’s the Swiss Army knife of the fleet. AND it has killer looks to boot!

[@brianbutterworth8186]

Does he have a video on that wrecker?

[@MetalSphere10]

@@brianbutterworth8186 Yes. There are multiple videos on the wrecker resurrection. Probably under the main NNKH channel.

[@clarencewiles963]

I used to work on these 30 years ago. You got it for a very reasonable price. Put new seal’s in it. Hook up no more than 90 psi Add oil to the oiler. It’s sounds like it’s needed a shot of air tool oil through the system try that before you replace anything

[@theetravisb]

That’s a great clamp you scored . Every time you can do something without having to leave your property and spend money is a score

[@cloudstrife1125]

I was very fortunate to have worked with nnkh in the shop and he taught me alot for the brief time I was there thanks nnkh keep the content coming

[@kurtburkhardt5862]

Getting a quality used tool is almost always better than a new cheap tool. Will be a nice addition to your shop.

[@1leggeddog]

Wrecker to the rescue once again! My favorite truck in the fleet!😍 Seriously, that thing deserves ALL the love

[@aaronsadler8227]

Man that tow truck comes in handy! I had one similar

[@richardthomas1743]

Hey Chris , Jen , Gus and Turbo! I think that was a real good deal Chris and definitely a big upgrade over the ole 10/10. Just be careful about possible moisture in your air line using that outside in the cold. That moisture will turn to ice in all of those pneumatics. 👍

[@ScottBryant-wi7gb]

Thanks for the new content. I look forward to each one.

[@johnasher594]

Don’t know why but I am really happy that you figured out the low power issue and that it’s working well. Satisfying.

[@markduncan6690]

I must say that I am impressed with your nonchalant mood, when you move from one skill to the next! Keep up the Good Work!

[@gregoryautridge8831]

Great score for your workshop. Not only a good price but a practical and functional part of what you do.

[@steelwheels327]

I know nothing about tire machines ,but always wondered how they work ......this was really interesting !!

[@FixLife119]

Great video as always Chris. I love when you can get a good deal because the person selling didn't take the time to try to fix it first, or maybe they didn't have the know how (no nonsense of course) like you do.

[@bradley7723]

Spent the last 4 hours cleaning, lubricating and calibrating my micrometers, then I saw your vid pop up and that was a nice break, great score on the tire machine. Have fun😊

[@BeachDogs.Jayhall]

Another awesome video Chris, loving the content. Thanks for sharing.

[@Bumblebee4788]

I used the older one you just sold in the 70's, now I have the Harbor Freight manual one that I've owned for 20 years due to living about an hour round trip from the nearest tire store when I lived in Arizona...still comes in handy when I need it.....

[@mrmotofy]

I got a Mayflower set and OMG is it sooo much easier now. Hard to spend the cash for something that sits there most of the time but it's so nice...I'll just sell it for most of what I paid for it.

[@RonnieMoscaAmericanstangs6033]

I bought a coats RC-15AA back in 1996 , still works great to this day ... All I've had to do was replace the double pedal valve... I run mine at 125 psi ..I put mine on a wheel dollie to save room

[@GusMahn]

The air motors in these use unique quick exhaust valves to go forward and reverse. There's a rubber diaphragm in each that can rip. There will be air coming out both mufflers. If you block the leaking muffler with your hand and the motor speeds up or has more power, the diaphragm is bad. The Coats valves are fairly expensive and not always available. I installed Humprey QE3 valves with some threaded fittings on my 70X. These are common, and the diaphragms are available. Somebody told me Lowes sells a red paint that matches Coats Red pretty well

[@NNKH2]

Okay, I'll have to check that out! Thanks so much for the great information. So far it's been pretty strong and works well ever since oiling it more

[@GusMahn]

@@NNKH2 I bought two 70X's both had the auto luber removed. It makes me wonder if it's a reliable system. I had no idea how it was supposed to work, so thank you for that. I wound up putting a luber in line with the motor.

[@GusMahn]

I think the gears in turntable, at least the ring, is Al. I got water in mine, so I pulled it apart. Mine was greased instead of being oiled. As I recall the recommended lube was 460. Former Walmart machine, and Coats told me it had almost $10K worth of service of during its use. Probably doesn't matter much for light home use.

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G,day Chris from Sydney Australia. Thank you for the comprehensive introduction to the Coates rim clamp (pneumatic) tyre machine, including maintenance and repairs. 🌏🇭🇲

[@opiumtrail7032]

[@taylorbaldt8296]

I just bought the same machine exept the bead breaker has a button handle for 500 and it is a frickining tank it needed nothing I love it

[@CorollaMAD97]

That's ace having a full tyre machine , look forward to the next video as always my favourite youtuber keep up the great work

[@sterlingthibodeaux3690]

Hey Chris.. not sure if anyone else would like it but I think you and Jenn collaborate together (just like on other projects) and work on the CJ.. I know it's a LOT of work but it'll be a great mini series for you and her.. she'll post her jobs on her channel and you on yours... just a thought.. I have a passion for the CJ's.. all of them.. anywho.. keep on keepin' on.. Life's a garden, dig it.. lol.. CHEERS!!!

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

I was JUST talking to my wife about getting an old vintage tire machine.. what a steal for 900, man I would LOVE to have one. I am SO tired of paying 15 bucks every time I get a tire changed. I buy used tires all the time for my van and I am SO SICK of paying someone to do it for me. One day!!

[@CaliforniaFishing12]

15 bucks is decent! California here, usual prices are about $25 a tire/wheel.

[@AA-Oldschool]

Pressure washing like that is SO satisfying !

[@georgegarton8736]

Time for a road trip with the whole family. Most enjoyable, especially with Jen.

[@brianramsey4097]

I'm glad you didn't go with the Harbor freight balancer. I tried it, it was horrible. Could not get it to balance for anything. Return It got the one on Amazon works a lot better. Keep up the great videos Absolutely, enjoy them.

G`morning N.N.K.H. BTY Gus needs his own Channel

[@robertn2813]

The 10-10 and 20-20 were great machines back in their day . But that one is sweeter definitely .

[@MMORPG87]

glad i saw this. we had the same issue turn table. but i would just pour oil in the supply line and you whoule hear it kick when the oil hit the right spot. sounded like another 200psi just hit it. i was gonna tell u to just pour oil in the line but waited to see if u fixed it first.

[@chrisoakey9841]

Before finishing with a spray can, spray it upside down to flush the nozzle.

[@preciador6]

Hell, yeah you just saved me money and time thank you very much!!!!!!! My red oil line is not plugged in anywhere i don't have the oil tank in the back just the double oil water bleeder.

[@DIMS_WERX]

Takes me back to 2yrs bck at my tyre service shop. And yeah, better be careful when breaking the bead, the feeling is awful when the beadbreaker handle hits you. My machine had a foot pedal to actuate the bead breaker and spin the spindle, most repairs i do them myself. In a space of 5yrs using the machine i changed a muffler and bead breaker valve.

[@eugenemunroe249]

Good deal bud better machine 👍. Find any boat deals yet . Iam looking myself . Preferably a sleeping cuddy.

[@NNKH2]

Yeah great machine for sure. Haven't been looking for boats too much

[@charlesroberts6965]

Definitely looks like a nice upgrade the little quirky issues should be ok since you're not using it 8 plus hours a day 😊 I think you did well on your purchase. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge how it works 😎🇺🇸👍😁

[@itsreallyreal1337]

Chris is the American of the year. You can never make too many vids.

[@jimwhite5964]

Maybe a “will it run” video for a “new” forklift for you is in order now? Thanks, Chris!

[@wkualum3194]

Just bought a May tire matic 62B inspired by this video. Hopefully it will provide many years of service to my home shop.

[@NNKH2]

Awesome! Good luck with it!

[@signelengis]

Used both of those coats way back in the day working at sears. They were awesome, and we did abuse them.

[@Snowmannorth]

Brings back memories of my years in the tire business…

[@tileman17]

That really cleaned up good if you look at it before and after. It looks almost new.

I am sure that will come in handy. It will save you time and money in the future, good purchase. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@emilja.4205]

Nice find. Repair Geek channel proved that Blaster Surface Shield is one of the best anti rust sprays. On his tests he chose it as the best.

[@the2060ish]

Ha you needed the light bar Safety lights on with the Wrecker? You have a lot of traffic cutting through your back yard.. Good find

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 Congratulations 🎉 for purchasing this great tire machine. 2) The good ol' wrecker comes in handy often. I'm glad that you kept and repaired it. The video series about the wrecker is my favourite so far. I hope that you will find a solution to make the vehicle go a little bit faster. Maybe some kind of overdrive or a different gear box respectively rear differential ratio. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.

[@mrbill8542]

Can' beat a Coats machine--they have been making them forever !! Well made too .

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Chris :) also super video for Wrecker truck and Tire repairs is worth it most certainly! Plus thing got excellent deal and used that one at my work to and used old styles too before !

Chris im glad you got that working better. I deff saw a little regret buying it when it wasn’t working properly. Well done my man. Deff paint it. Cheers 🍻

[@PhillyTechCheck]

Man, I used this exact model when I worked at Goodyear and love it.

[@SeanGilmore92]

Nice KP Tuning Shirt! Karl Tuned my Silverado years ago and it's been a completely different truck(In a good way!) ever since.

[@hoosierfatha]

you could pull apart the air motor and flip the vanes up side down if the body is not so worn you will improve performance, you can also order and size a timing belt with pulleys(with gear like teeth) for positive movement. you just need a center distance calculator they're free and size the same as v-belt pulley's.

[@wiz7190]

You hit the jackpot on this one Chris. Nice!!

[@06Salvi_LGT]

Exact same one we have at the shop, its a really good machine.

[@eventhorizon1855]

That countertop you used might be a thick heavy piece of "Corian" , very popular for countertops in the '90's, just an observatio.

[@clutchcargo666]

My first thought in the beginning when you were off-loading it was, "well, Chris has a bucket tractor, a wrecker, wheres the forklift?" I bet that is coming soon!

[@yardsausage]

i have used several coats models in my 26 years of changing tires and they were all electric driven except one that was pneumatic driven and that machine was dangerous, because it was faster than the others..it could rip a bead on a tire before you knew what happened...but yes overall i think coats are the best..we tried a couple of the hunter tire changers but they started having problems within the first 6 months..

[@TechGorilla1987]

There has to be something terribly satisfying about being able to mount and balance your own tires. A lot cheaper too I bet.

[@williamfoster4268]

Until your friends and family find out and they want you to do it for free.

Yep...makes life sooooo much better. Super easy TPMS sensor checks or replacement...that can save you $100 or more each time. I sister just paid a shop $150 I think...I did the same thing for $20 sensor I already had expecting another one to go out

[@billhagerman4475]

You got a heck of a deal. Clean it up, repaint it and get new stickers and its worth will be thousands more. Be sure to use an air water / filter separator just for the machine. It will last much longer with one.

[@axelraver]

Im pretty sure this machine has provision for a pedal commanded bead breaker, also you may want to replace the bead mounting demounting " hand " that is made of plastic for one made of metal. Plastic is great for newish wheels but on old rusty and stubborn tires it breaks quite easily and often.

[@tctnick4156]

Use the same machines at work . Love em.

We changed the pulley on ours and worked great they made it to small

[@ricaneva3896]

maybe yo can tighten or loosen the exhaust ports on the motor you can get more power maybe their too open and release more air the motor looks pretty clean maybe they replaced it or the valve doesnt seat well when you press the foot pedal

[@SeanHodgins]

If you bend or modify the handle on the bead-breaker up towards you, wouldn't that be way easier on your hands? Seems weird they have it push/pull. Maybe its a safety thing, if someone leaned on it.

[@youlooze2me]

i just scrapped 2 of them my shop i work at gave me one for my home shop and another dealership gave me one. both needed some parts were over what the machine was worth, i would have gave them to you for parts if i knew you were getting that one.

[@stephenkrzanowski]

Seems one could relocate that valve/switch for the bead break arm to the machine body to be used as a foot pedal instead. Save on sore hands and air in your face. Could be a fun little project.

[@garyslama7163]

Loving that wrecker. Swiss army knife Square body.

[@joerunge3915]

if you take a piece of tube and stuff cotton balls or something the air can go through but will get churned up and slowed down, you can put it where the air comes out and it will make it way quieter. If you google tank silencer noz examples come up

[@skeelo69]

[@randyl6541]

I got a repack kit for the bead breaker from Amazon for about 60.00

[@horstszibulski19]

Great deal! Only thing you need is a air line into the carport! Can this thing go down to 10" scooter rims also? Thx for showing! 👍👍👍

[@ticdelarue]

The seller could have charged at least an additional $900 - $1500 if they would have just taken an extra 30 minutes to tilted this unit on a 45 degree angle and used a case of Brakleen and a little high pressure air nozzle to hose it down and get the grunge off of it so the prospective buyer could at least see the nice clean hidden red paint underneath it.

[@natarem]

awesome, love a good used pickup of commercial grade hardware
