+1000 for the Kool Stop Tire Bead Jack!
You can cut the Kool Stop handle shorter to make it a bit more portable without really affecting its effectiveness much.

Get the Kool Stop tool, Period! It will save you a ton of time, your fingers, your rims, your tubes and your mind.

had to mount 5 or 6 tires Sunday night & Monday morning, I forget how many exactly, it's all an ugly blur, but since I had the jack I used it. it was useful indeed! I have two, one in my basement shop area, & one in my bike trunk

I've been carrying the bead jack in a jersery pocket since I got a new wheelset. Don't mind the handle sticking out the top since my pockets are pretty full.
