while most of the system is self explanatory, the tire balancer on the other hand, the instructions may as well not exist.. there are options on the tire changer that I still have no idea what they actually do.. figured out the basic usage after like 3 hours.. but the 4 options that change the way the system operates.. NOTHING in the documentation as to what they do..as for the tire changer, awsome, works perfectly.. balancer, works perfectly other than the "what does this light mean when its on" issue.. watched videos.. not helpful.. would be 5 stars if it had instructions that were readable/understandable!

I'll start by saying I have in the past used the even cheaper Weize/Mayflower combo (around $1500) and found that unit to be full of issues. For the little bit extra that this combo cost, in my opinion it's probably the best bang for your buck out there if you're a small shop. The tire machine so far has worked perfectly, and the larger inside clamping diameter means it can handle 21" adventure bike front wheels that the Weize machine couldn't without extra adapters. Not having all the extra arms is a plus in my book. I was skeptical of the bead blaster at first, but I was surprised to see that it actually was able to set a bead consistently on mildly stretched tires. Having the extra massive air cylinder on the machine also has the benefit of doubling the capacity of the little pancake air compressor I have running it currently. The balancer is also a nice surprise. I only static balance, so I can't comment on dynamic balancing, but so far this machine is quick and easy to setup and read. It reads in OZ, increments of 1/4 oz, which is so much easier to interpret working with American wheel weights.I will say that for a machine this cheap, you should expect a bit of headache with setup. The instructions are pretty unhelpful. The gigantic NPT threads on the bead blasting hose and valve were poorly made. 2 would seal with a lot of thread tape, but for the connection between the hose and valve I had to use duct tape as thread tape to get it to seal. Also, you don't necessarily have to bolt the tire changer to the floor, but you absolutely must have the balancer securely mounted to get an accurate reading.All of these issues were entirely expected and solved in an afternoon, so this is still a 5 star combo.

Instructions are vague. But after just a year of ownership I love the machines. The wheel balancer will struggle a bit with large truck wheels but it WILL do it.Tire changer is awesome. And works well. Only thing I’ve had any issue with is a leaking air regulator. However katool sent me out a replacement quickly no questions asks!!! So far they’ve stood behind these products and I am happy! If you’re on the fence like I was just buy them!

I bought the tire machine and wheel balancer on a Friday, it was here the following Wednesday. Super fast shipment loved it! Both machines were packaged very well no damage done to anything in both work phenomenal!
