Tire Spreader

What is the GTS-01 Tire Spreader used for?

The GTS-01 Tire Spreader is designed to spread tire beads quickly so tire repairs are easier to perform. It creates the working space needed between the beads during the repair process.

Where does the GTS-01 Tire Spreader fit in a tire repair workflow?

The workflow is straightforward: start with the fingers closed, place the fingers between the tire beads, use the tool to open the beads until there is enough air space to complete the repair, and remove the spreader when the repair is finished. That makes it a fit for repair steps that need better access inside the tire.

Is the GTS-01 Tire Spreader better for shop work or mobile tire service?

It is especially well suited to mobile tire service. The GTS-01 Tire Spreader is built around quick bead spreading without a larger floor-mounted setup, which makes it practical when repairs need to be handled away from a full shop station.

What impact-gun setup is required to use the GTS-01 Tire Spreader?

The GTS-01 Tire Spreader is operated with a 1/2-inch impact gun and a 1-1/4-inch (32 mm) socket. That setup is used to open the Tire Spreader fingers and create enough space for the repair.

How far should the tire beads be spread during a repair when using the GTS-01 Tire Spreader?

The beads should be spread only until there is sufficient air space to complete the repair. Once the repair is done, the spreader is removed.
