Looks to be essentially the same thing as the Weaver tire changer that Dad has in his garage (quite likely a rebranded item). If so, it's a good unit and I recommend it.

Thank you... After a bit more digging and thinking, I decided to go with this version:

Same model changer but with the assist arm included.

Now to figure out how to make sure I am there when they deliver and have a way to move 850lbs of equipment from the driveway to where I want it to live... :D

Looks the same as my weaver, which I would never part with, it's a great addition to my shop. Moving it is easy, 2 furniture dollies were all I used to move mine into the shop, no big deal, just about anything with wheels will let you move it with ease. 850 pounds sounds heavy but it's lighter than a Goldwing, Road Glide, or Vision, and we push those around the garage all the time, right?

Thank you... I suspect the actual weight of the entire unit may be a bit less, but the listing shows a "Shipping Weight" of 880lbs (not 850 like I misremembered). Probably a hundo or so of crate and packing material in that figure. I do have a couple heavy duty dollies I could use....

Pulled the trigger. Unfortunately about 12 hours too late. The price went up $100 while I was sitting around with my thumb up my arse... :rolleyes:
