Default manual tyre changer

are these any good? i'd imagine it'd be heavy going especially on low profiles?

will destroy the wheel rim on most alloys using low profiles more suited to higher ones like 60+ and steel wheels

used to have one for my grass track car, any chunks in the wheels makes them a nightmare to fit. but if the wheels are good then its a pretty good tool.
