Ken-Tool Unveils New Bead Expander

According to Ken-Tool, the new T131 utility tire pneumatic bead expander was designed to save time for both service tractor shop technicians who have difficulty getting 10- to 22-inch diameter utility tires to seat on the wheel rim. It uses an internal heavy-duty neoprene rubber tube featuring an internal over-pressure relief valve that protects the expander from accidental over inflation.
