I do, however, have three or four of those bead jacks stashed in various convenient spots, which cost about ten bucks each, work well, and seem to last forever. So I still don't get it ?
My point is that it isn’t necessarily people resisting a tool that makes their life easier, it might be people resisting a tool that *doesn’t* make their life easier, because their circumstances are different.
I don’t have an industrial iron either, but I do know someone with one and they can’t understand why everyone wouldn’t want one. Just different needs and capabilities.
I used to change a lot of tires, and at that point I did use one of these. Never enough to want one at home though, because it doesn’t come up there, or on rides.
