What is a bead seater, and what is the BEAD BAZOOKA® (Gen 2) used for?

A bead seater uses a blast of compressed air to push the tire bead outward so it can seal against the rim for inflation. The BEAD BAZOOKA® (Gen 2) line is built for a wide tire range, from motorcycles to light agricultural vehicles. For a broader view of related options, see bead seaters .

How do you size the BEAD BAZOOKA® (Gen 2) by application?

The BB3L2 fits ATV, motorcycle, car, and light commercial vehicle work. The BB6L2 fits motorcycle, car, light truck, and heavy commercial vehicle work. The BB10L2 fits car, light truck, heavy commercial, and light agricultural vehicle work.

What does the serviceable 2-inch rapid air release valve do?

The upgraded trigger-operated rapid air release valve delivers the extra power that lets the tool stay smaller and lighter while still helping seat stubborn tire beads. The valve is serviceable and replaceable, which supports longer service life and less downtime. More detail on in-house valve service is available in the BEAD BAZOOKA® Valve Repair Kit overview .

What basic safety steps should you follow when using the BEAD BAZOOKA® (Gen 2)?

Wear eye and ear protection, use the tool only for tire-service work, and never point the nozzle toward a person. Keep the barrel slightly away from the rim rather than pressed tightly against it, and once the bead is set, stop the air flow, install the valve core, and move the assembly to a tire inflation cage before continuing inflation.

How should the BEAD BAZOOKA® (Gen 2) be stored and maintained?

After use, vent the remaining air and return the tool to its wall clip storage position. Indoor storage is recommended, with exposure to rain, sun, and heat avoided. For routine care, the RAR valve should be lubricated with silicone oil or air tool oil every 1 to 2 months. For a dedicated shop storage option near the work area, see the BEAD BAZOOKA® Charging Station .
