I doubt most people have a vise big enough to reasonably use as a bead breaker - especially on something like the 130/80 I was removing.I enjoyed this. It reminded me of the one time I did a car tire on my 86 escort as a young fellow. I used a walk behind forklift to pick up a small turret lathe to use as a bead breaker. It worked...I don't know what I was thinking...
I bet that vise weighs as least as much as the Coats 205 tire machine I had.
