Homemade bead seating tool

[@20mcarroll02]

Nice. I used to use these when I worked in a heavy truck shop, and they work great. And if you change motorcycle tires, they are a lot better and faster than using ratchet straps in the center of the tire. Thanks Josh for another great vid.

[@basails45]

Used those in a tire shop for years. Professional looking build!

[@grand73am]

You did a good job with your tank, and thanks for the demo. I thought about doing the modification to a portable air tank I already have. But now you can buy one like yours, ready-to-go, on eBay with free shipping, for $100-125, so it's hardly worth the effort to make your own now.

[@randyvigallon7545]

Nice job, did I miss the pressure relief valve?

[@joeleblanc4543]

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Nice job on making the tank~ Very nice welds too!!!

[@johnkneer1863]

nice build, I think better than you can buy

[@benbrewer5853]

Nice job on making it

[@john201945]

Nice video, I made one like this but still have a bit of fear of the tire blowing up..Had all the stuff from yard sale finds. About the only way to set tires on bobcat skid loaders that I know of other than making a bomb out of fluid. Making one has it's rewards with knowledge.

[@marshaul]

The one I bought suggests only 50-60 psi charge pressure for passenger tires. Most passenger tires say maximum seating pressure is 40 psi, and even this figure assumes a much longer time interval than a bead seater will generate. Factor in the losses from the imperfect seal etc... This thing isn't gonna blow any tires if you use it right.

[@rube6729]

Yep, built mine too. :) I didn't bring it out of the side though I came out of one end so both handles have the same orientation if you know what I mean. Everybody thinks its scary...lol It's really not just a little loud, I love using it! lol

[@RUredtailhawk]

I saw several on eBay yesterday for less than $52 ... so, I'd just buy one there.

[@FredMiller]

Nice project and one heck of a lot safer than ether!

[@danburch9989]

I use a ratchet strap. Easier, quieter and safer to use and carry on the trail and in the garage. Been using a ratchet strap on car tires since the 1960s. Once the tire is able to accept air and keep it, release the strap.

[@robertdiamondoil2384]

Can it be used to dust under the fridge?

[@TitanGamersFTW]

HELL YA lol

[@inthelandofmilkandhoney457]

Nice Job 👍

[@michaelwhite2750]

You need to have the tank welded by a professional tank welded. If this come apart when you are airing the tank up this will be very bad news. Always be safe!!!!

[@joshuaburks]

Michael White good observation! i am a class 6 certified welder (pressure vessels/boilers) i did this type of work professionally for several years, but not a project for the inexperienced for sure, thanks for the comment, josh

[@garynorthtruro]

Really excellent idea.

[@siskocoolcat]

Awesome, hope to see some more useful diy stuff, your damned good, keep'm coming.

[@poncetorres7110]

Nice. you should of made video on how did you made your tank step by step ☺👍🏻.

[@beachbums2008]

Bead seats look on amazon.com well less than $400 Can be purchased for less then $100 here in the states and you wont have to modify an air tank

[@blankreg9745]

Nicely Made tool

[@craignehring]

Now THAT is a blast

[@nathanielclark1225]

Very nice job. I need one :p

[@patrickbernard2579]

I got an airpowered confetti gun that holds about 1 gallon of air at 120 psi and releases 5x faster than you could possibly do a ball valve.. I bet I could bead a small tire with it.

[@scootin123]

Patrick Bernard sounds good I will look into a confetti blaster

[@heavymechanic2]

The first time you do this you may need to change your pants LOLZ.... I remember when this tank was $400+ and now the price is more reasonable as these air tanks are very common for insurance. Check Amazon and you will see an economy model is a little over $100 and a Cheetah is around $200 from several tool suppliers. Some people do not have the ability to build this air tank, but it works awesome on hard to seal tires.

[@benbrewer5853]

I might try to make one maybe with a smaller pipe

[@coreys121]

They Make these i have one in my tire shop there called cheetah bead seaters

[@circulationboosterandmore880]

ebay, 65 us dollars shipping and all included, better to buy one then spend whole lot of time making one

[@joshuaburks]

Thank you

[@leonidsenal2896]

bead bazooka is the best

[@leonidsenal2896]

bead bazooka is the besy

[@madani19784]

TekaHow many psi of wind pressure

[@royjohnsen7574]

Cool! Thanks!

[@sergiosolis4003]

where did you come up with 400$ the most expensive cheeta is 230$

[@kb1jfg]

Nice

[@marshaul]

Now that it's 2016, you can get these on ebay for ≈$47 shipped. =)

[@jamfu3033]

nice

[@joeclarke9782]

Good idea. Ignore neg comments

[@bluehandsvideo]

Very cool!!! I agree with Fred MIller.....way safer than ether! btw...I saw this on Homemadetools.net

[@danielraidt9611]

Really ?

[@bluehandsvideo]

Daniel Raidt I do think it's safer, but the ether certainly has it's place. The 4WD guys use it out on the trail. I wouldn't want this tank bouncing around in my rig on the trail. I would change up the ball valve to so that the handle is vertical and pushes forward to open. First time I used ether, I almost peed myself! lol Certainly has a lot more "wow" factor. :)

[@diesel_ramcharger5453]

bluehandsvideo you want a cheetah to open when you pull the handle, not push. obvious you've never used one. ether is bad is you are too stupid to pull the valve core out first.

[@homemadetools]

Nice! If you want more subs, feel free to embed your video on our homemade tools forum; looks like you're one of us :-)

[@joshuaburks]

Lmao!! I bet it would launch it with no problem, love the comment,...josh

[@benbrewer5853]

All the ones I've seen is always been under a hundred

[@Superdan187211]

I like it ..but spray eather works as well .. I have a video up..check it out..I have done this on huge tires

[@russelldevane5434]

a ratchet strap is just as easy a lot safer and a lot less noise and a strap cost $10

[@tulioenriquemochi4688]

nice nice nice...Next on my list¨¡¡¡......:-) :-) :-)

[@JoseSanchez-mi8rb]

Get the tool and blast the tire.The tool almost kill you.

[@benbrewer5853]

Definitely cheaper to make it yourself

[@dhrdan]

holy fuck ::claps::
