The new Two-Speed Tilt-Back Tire Changer (EEWH326A) from Snap-on features a two-speed turntable that offers a forward speed of 14 RPM to provide faster throughput when mounting the initial bead.

“Our new Two-Speed Tilt-Back Tire Changer gives Snap-on customers a solid competitive edge,” said Mike DeKeuster, category manager for Snap-on. “Ideal for servicing wheels and tires on original equipment cars and light trucks, this versatile tire changer speeds up the tire mounting process and makes short work of changing tires. The laser guided mount/dismount head, which helps prevent contact with the rim and speeds up the alignment process, provides the technician with an added level of precision. Other distinctive features, like the tilt-back design and three-position bead breaker, make it a valuable addition to any service bay.”
