Reminds me of the old Archimedes quote, give me a long enough lever and I'll move the world. That's pretty slick, I may have to pick one up.

Ran across this handy little tool to help our backs when removing, installing or rotating our Jeep tires/wheels. All I know is that even my 33's are a chore to deal with when working on the floor.

I obtained the proper tool to remove any tires I have needed to change with my credit card in 1976 when I joined the AAA. Tire goes flat and I safely pull off the road, telephone AAA and wait no more than 20 minutes and a very polite young man arrives and changes the tire. I usually tip $10.00.....

I have a similar tool that I used for hanging doors. Necessity is the mother of invention.

AAA should add home service to their menu. For a monthly fee they can change my oil and rotate my tires in my garage. The price of this tool would pay for months of service! ;)

@Discount Tire rotates and services tires for FREE
I service my own vehicles in the garage and steer clear. For example, on two different occasions, I tried my local Discount Tire. One time when lifting my Durango, they crushed the fuel tank. On another visit with my wife's 300, they destroyed the front splash guards with the hoist pads. Too much inexperienced youth turnover. Not worth it for free. ?

As I get older and that dang ole Father Time keeps making things more challenging for me, I do appreciate these types of things. What I really need is something that will work in less than ideal situations like out on the road, trails, etc. At home I have one of these Tire dollies but in less ideal situations a help will always be appreciated with 37s.

Unfortunately, Road service (including towing, flat repair, battery service, lock out, etc) and the other benefits are the services they render for the price quoted. Get towed once and you have paid for a lot of oil changes.

That doesn't look like a very ergonomic handle....

My small spade shovel works fine, now if I can get some wheels on it to roll back and forth we would be in business. ?

Ridiculous price for what it is. While there are exceptions in communities like this, nobody else is rotating their own tires. And this think looks worthless on the side of the road. Even more worthless on the trail. Reminds me of an infomercial gadget.
