I was going to build a air tire bead seater. It looked fairly simple to build. Just add a 2 inch ball valve to a air tank with a short piece of pipe. I found one for under 60.00 shipped. by the time I buy a 2 in. valve cut a hole in a air tank weld in a nipple, and waste a few hours. In a couple days it's delivered to my house. I probably have wasted a few cans of starting fluid already in the past. Maybe less chance now of hurting myself. stan
 
Good for you!

I think you will appreciate having it, vs. using potentially deadly techniques to seat tire beads.

A word of caution... be SURE to have a GOOD grip on it when flipping the valve open.

We had a tank like that and then bought a bazooka Cheeta. It is about 8 inches in diameter and 3 feet long. Much easier to handle. Bill
 
I've seen on television where you can blow somebody's pants down with one of those things. LOL
 
I did without one for long time after started messing with 22.5s. Have one or two that couldn't get to take air, so go by tire place, they pop them rite on in pickup bed and had one of them nifty things that screws on stem with core out that hook air hose strait to. So had to get one of them too.
 
I don't want to tell you that you wasted your money, but I changed a 22.5 just the other day and all I did was take the valve core out and shoved the female coupler over the stem. I didn't need any adapter to go on the stem.
 
Nothing works well on cold tires in the winter. I've tried it all thew ether , bead tanks and the murphys soap the murphys soap works the best in cold with cold tires. Next is the bead tank deal. Ether needs to be warm to work at all.
 
Years ago I saw on TV where people in the arctic run tires with little air pressure.
They would use gasoline. Lay the tire on the snow. Add gas and light it. Boom and the tire was back on the rim bead.

I've never tired using gas.
 
When I worked In a Firestone shop we had one of these for the really stubborn tubeless truck tires or tractor rears.
