Harbor Freight Portable Wheel Balancer unboxing

Unboxing my new harbor freight portable bubble wheel balancer.

Because of the cute kid asking what it was, thumb up for you.

Got one!! Rubbish on small, lighter car wheels where slippage occurs on the top ring when lifting under the compression spring pressure after the cone alignment. No matter how careful you release the wheel you cant ensure the cone alignment stays.

Further to my comment I have learned a major UK specialist classic vehicle company, 'Frost Auto Restoration' have determined a set of weaker springs for the balancer to accommodate lighter wheels. These cost around £6 (10 USD) for the set of four.

@pacificcloud Yeah.. I did use it that day but the battery went dead in my camera. I will video it the next time I use it.

not sure what your trying to pass along? you do however show the difference between the older and newer balancer in appearance. the newer is inferior in the balance pin mechanism. most of the newer one supplier of hf products is inferior. why? because the single middleman has one goal- to find him the cheapest and not care about possible quality. there are good Chinese manufacturers that can be solicited to supply at equal or a little higher wholesale and skip this middleman profit grab.
