Missing duck head arm and other parts not recommend to buy

I just needed something to change trailer tires (3.5k-7k axles) rather than keep buying tire and rim assemblies. Getting them changed locally barely saves any money and not worth the trip unless I save a bunch up, hence why I've just bought assemblies. Well I have a bunch now and figured why not do it myself considering the cost of this machine.The instructions are literally just the picture of the machine, but it isn't hard to figure out. Only oddities are you need a 11 or 12mm Allen wrench (I just used a 7/16" nut and bolt in the head with a wrench on the nut) for the shovel arm pivot and the line to connect air is useless for most people. But you can unthread the supply line fitting at the pedal and gently thread a 1/4 npt fitting in place. It's the right thread pitch, just don't tighten much (use thread sealant) or the tapered thread might crack the housing (I know someone who did that on a cylinder head once).My first go on a 205/75r15 was done in 8 minutes including looking for the bead lube. Only issue is now I need a bead blaster to get it to seat.Overall very happy and looking forward to changing a bunch of tires. Once I get used to it, I'll give my pickup tires a whirl, just want to be sure I don't snap a tpms valve off. Also waiting on an order of balancing beads (Ken-tool 31604) so I won't need a tire balancer. I've never had trailer tires balanced, but I'll throw some beads in those too to see if tread life improves.

You need to take the time to learn the machine. The machine works well. Practice makes perfect.

I am very happy with this unit.

This KT2002 Mini Tire Changer Machine is a game-changer for anyone who needs a portable solution for on-the-go tire changes. It’s compact, lightweight, and surprisingly powerful for its size. The 39-inch height makes it comfortable to use, and the air bead breaker is effective at getting stubborn tires off with minimal hassle. What I appreciate most is that it doesn’t require any anchoring, making it ideal for mobile car repair and roadside assistance. I’ve used it several times already, and it’s held up well under pressure. If you’re looking for a reliable, portable tire changer, this one is a solid choice!

Bar bent on first use. I can't even find a way to order a new one. Smh.

Very nice tool for what it is. Breaks beads with ease no issues at all. Took off 4 265/70r17 tires from rims in about 45 minutes as I was learning how to use it.30 gallon 175 psi air compressor set at 90 psi worked fine.Next would like to try the balancer.
