Definition
-
A tire tool, also known as a tire iron or tire lever, is a specialized hand tool used in the automobile industry and by enthusiasts for the purpose of changing tires. It is designed and utilized to remove and install tires easily and efficiently.
Typically made of steel or durable metal, a tire tool consists of a long handle with a curved or spoon-shaped end. The curved end is used to pry and lift a tire off the rim or wheel, while the handle provides the necessary leverage to accomplish this task. The opposite end of the tire tool may be tapered or flat, enabling it to firmly grip the tire or wheel during the tire-changing process. Some tire tools have additional features, such as a grip handle or knurled surface, to enhance user control and prevent slippage.
Tire tools are most commonly used in conjunction with other tools such as bead breakers, tire irons, or tire machines to effectively dismount old tires and install new ones. They can be manual, portable tools that are advantageous for emergency situations or regular maintenance, or they can be attached to machinery in professional settings.
Due to their straightforward design and purpose, tire tools are generally easy to use, but caution should be exercised to avoid personal injury or damage to the tire or wheel. It is important to follow proper safety procedures and wear appropriate protective gear while handling tire tools.
