Do I need electricity or an air compressor?

No. The 3rd Gen is entirely manual. A 3-hole progressive leverage system multiplies your force, so nothing needs to be plugged in or connected to air.

What tyre sizes can it handle?

12″ to 21″ rim diameter (30.5–53.3 cm), covering ATV/UTV wheels, compact cars, crossovers, SUVs, sedans and full-size pickups. Rims under 12″ — small utility, golf cart, lawn mower and some youth ATV tyres — are not compatible.

Will it damage my alloy wheels?

The Duck Head and bead-breaker shovel use rounded, smooth contact surfaces that glide along the rim. The kit also includes an anti-abrasion protective mat for the floor and rim face.

Does it work with run-flat tyres?

Yes. The Run-Flat Leverage Pull-Rod and Quick-Release Safety Pin are included specifically for run-flats and high-stiffness sidewalls.

What is in the box?

Fourteen numbered components plus two bonus parts — see the full parts list below.

Installation & usage guide

Step-by-step instructions, taken from the official user manual.

Before you start

Wear heavy-duty protective gloves and safety eyewear. This equipment applies high manual torque and is not for use by anyone under 18.

Unbox the unit and lay the protective floor mat on a clean, level surface.
Organise all components against the parts list before assembling.
Inspect all structural hardware and fasteners and confirm they are tight.
Use only attachments rated for your tyre profile and rim dimensions.

Assembly — phases 1 to 3

Bead breaker shovel: slide the pull-rod locking mechanism onto the main tubular arm and secure with the retaining washers and locking bolts.
Slide the shovel pivot collar onto the end of the arm, flush with the through-holes. The collar is asymmetrical — the wider profile must face inboard, the narrower profile outboard.
Duck head: slide the leverage fulcrum block onto the square mounting stem of the duck head assembly, insert it into the multi-tool connection hub, then fit the flat washer and torque the securing bolt until rigid.
Mast and turntable: insert the connection arm through the recessed face of the rotation turntable base, align it with the connection hub and hand-tighten.
Check the turntable rotates freely and smoothly, then torque the locking nuts with the hex wrench.

A — breaking the bead

Insert the connection arm into the centre support mast and lower the fully deflated wheel over it until the hub sits flat.
Select the centring cone that matches your rim’s centre bore, slide it on, then torque the locking nut with the crescent wrench.
Insert the run-flat leverage pull-rod downwards through the rim, mount the bead breaker shovel and tighten its locking nut.
Insert the main power lever bar into the first (top) hole, secure it with the hex wrench and apply downward force.
To increase depth, loosen the adjustable stop bolt, move the bar to hole 2, then hole 3, retighten and press until the bead separates.
Flip the wheel over and repeat for the bottom bead.

Keep a firm two-handed grip on the lever bar at all times to manage mechanical torque.

B — removing the tyre from the rim

Invert the wheel face-up, install the rotation turntable base and mount the duck head on the centre support mast.
Work the duck head into the gap between the tyre bead and the rim flange, holding 5–8 mm axial clearance above the rim.
Apply mounting lubricant or strong soapy water where the duck head meets the bead. Align the duck head with the valve stem to protect TPMS sensors.
Stand on the tyre, or fit the bead depressor clip opposite the duck head, to push the bead into the drop-centre.
Pry the upper bead over the duck head knuckle with the tire iron, then rotate the turntable clockwise with the lever bar until the bead is free.
Lift the tyre, insert the tire iron about 5 cm under the lower bead and repeat, then rotate once more to release the tyre.

C — mounting a tyre

Apply mounting paste generously to both beads and place the tyre on the rim at an angle.
Position the duck head 180° opposite the valve stem so the bead has room to stretch into the drop-centre.
Place the lower bead over the tail of the duck head, hold the tyre at roughly 40°, and rotate the turntable clockwise.
Position the upper bead over the duck head, press down on the opposite side to keep it in the drop-centre, and rotate until fully seated.
Loosen the duck head slide with the hex wrench, release the centre locking nut with the crescent wrench, and lift the finished wheel off.

Keep hands clear of the pinch zone whenever the lever bar is under load.
