Spend a little extra money and get a NoMar.

Built better and will actually stand up to regular daily abuse without fail.

Re: harbor freight tire changer

for twice the price of the nomar i can grab a used motorized one. tire irons can bend the rim, doin it urself actually takes some degree of technique. youtube.com search 'scudman' his tips helped a lot!

jus bought the harborfreight tire irons the other week, good stuff, tire spoons from moose or cycle gear may be a bit nicer to the rim, the right rim protectors definately worth the buy.
