Nineteen-Five

Ken-Tool's Nineteen-Five is a tire mounting and demounting tool set designed to make changing 19.5-inch truck tires easier and safer. These size tires are notoriously difficult to mount and demount due to their thick beads and high ply-rating internal construction. The Nineteen-Five, # 33195, includes two Nineteen-Five bars, # 33199, measuring 38-inches each in length and only 3.5-pounds in weight; one bead holder, # 33196, for 19.5-inch aluminum wheels, measuring 7-½ -inches in length; one solid brass bead holder, # 31710, for steel wheels; and one leather aluminum wheel protector pad, # 31810), to protect rims from marring and scratching. The tire bars are designed to work on the hub-side of the wheel where the hub protrudes above the wheel's rim. The tip designs at the end of the bars aid in the manipulation of the tire and require less physical effort from the tire technician. The Nineteen-Five tools and bead holder for aluminum wheels are forged from high-grade carbon steel and are heat-treated for long-lasting strength and durability. They are then powder-coated to protect against rust and corrosion for a long, trouble-free life.
