A bead breaker is a device designed to remove a tire from its rim by releasing the tension that the tire bead exerts on the rim. This tool is essential in tire changing and repair processes, as it separates the bead of the tire from the wheel rim, allowing the tire to be removed or replaced. Bead breakers are commonly used in automotive service shops, motorcycle repair facilities, and by off-road enthusiasts who frequently change or repair tires. They come in various forms, from manual tools to hydraulic machines, providing different levels of force and efficiency based on the application.
