Bead breaking hammers have a similar appearance to regular hammers, with a long, narrow handle that may consist of wood or fiberglass. However, instead of having a two-pronged claw to remove nails, the bead breaking hammer has a single claw that the user can wedge between the rubber and the rim. The user can then apply pressure to the handle of the hammer to separate the two parts of the wheel. Bead breaking hammers are simple tools that work with automobile, ATV and motorcycle wheels.

Tire repairs can be costly in terms of money and downtime. When your work depends on your ability to have fully operational equipment, a flat or leaky tire can be a significant problem. Waiting for a service truck to arrive can cost you valuable production time, but without a service truck, you may not be able to break the bead between the tire and the rim, which is necessary to remove the tire. A bead breaking tool may be a valuable investment to keep your workday flowing smoothly.

The Ken-Tool bead breaking wedge is designed to break the beads around the tire and rim without cutting into the tire. It's 18 inches long from the end of the handle to the tip of the head, and one end of the tool's head is shaped like a pry bar. This tool is appropriate for use on passenger cars, trucks, all-terrain vehices (ATVs) and motorcycles.
