J1 Tool

J1 Tool

Jun 4th 2025

If you’ve ever wrestled with a 22.5″ tire and ended up covered in sweat and regret, we’ve got something that’ll make your day a whole lot easier. Say hello to the J1 Tool™ – the slightly altered (but seriously smart) little sibling of the original Bead Saver System®.

Now, before you roll your eyes and think, “Just another tire tool,” hang tight – this one’s worth a look.

What Makes the J1 Tool™ Different?

The J1 Tool™ is a 2-piece system built to tackle standard 19.5”, 22.5”, and 24.5” tubeless tires, all the way up to 315/80R22.5. Yep, even the ones mounted on aluminum wheels. The big upgrade? You don’t have to lift the tire to dismount the second bead anymore. That’s right – no more heaving and hoisting. Everything is done while the tire is flat on the ground. Your back can thank us later.

What’s in the Box?

The J1 Tool™ comes with:

  • The J1 bar
  • One Wide Clevis (#12902-W)

That’s it. No extra fluff – just what you need to get the job done.

So, How Does It Work?

Here’s the quick breakdown of how the J1 Tool™ earns its keep:

  • Dismount the first bead using the clevis & the crook/spoon end.
  • Dismount the second bead using the J-1 end – no need to stand the tire up.
  • Mount the first bead with the J end.
  • Want an easier time mounting the second bead? Throw in a couple of Beadkeepers® (sold separately, but worth it).

Why You’ll Love It

  • No more flipping the tire to finish the job.
  • Fewer tools, faster workflow.
  • Built for pros but easy enough for the weekend warrior who knows their way around a truck.

Whether you’re a shop tech or someone who’s just tired of fighting with big tires, the J1 Tool™ is here to make things smoother, quicker, and a whole lot less frustrating.
