For the price, you honestly cannot beat it. Functions exactly as it should. Fits perfect in my bay. Now I can get some side work done. Handles a 2002 Chevy 2500 crew cab with a 6.6 no problem. Arms bend a bit with more weight but it’s to be expected with telescoping arms. No complaints. Instructions give you all you need to know for install, if you can’t figure it out maybe call someone who knows or read up on it. Build quality is good, price is good, lift capacity seems to be close to what is advertised. Was easy to install, squared up with a laser level and spaced accordingly (110.25” to inside of each post I believe). I’m happy with it. It should be paid back off in about a month. The concrete anchors it comes with, they seem to be ok. I got 10 regular wedge anchors (3/4”) from hardware store. Supposedly the pin drive anchors it come with are a good option. I would highly recommend getting name brand concrete anchors either way. Thanks to KATool for the quick delivery and answering my questions with one phone call.
This arrived in good order and quick shipping. Delivery of product did take us having to unload it from the delivery truck ourselves so be warned if delivering to a residential area as we did. My husband had the lift set up in just a day and had a car up on the lift by the next day. Set up was easy and instructions were clear. He has already had multiple vehicles of differing sizes up on the lift with no issues and is happy with it.
Remove the tire was easy, but installing the tire it broke!
Purchased this to replace an older one we have at work. The value and quality of lift is what made us purchase another one. So far it's been working great for assisting with machine leveling.
Bar bent on first use. I can't even find a way to order a new one. Smh.
This is an ingenious tire Machine. Is very size efficient and well built. The instructions suck, but there are videos on the net that are helpful. This thing is a little on the slow side, as you have to reset the turntable bar once or twice per bead. It will also empty a pancake compressor pretty quickly. Not saying you can't use a small compressor, it will just cycle a couple times per tire. I am shocked that this doesn't seem to be a knockoff of a US or European design. It's really that good. Bead breaker is a beast, even with cold tires and rusty steel wheels. Not much on it to break, wear out or go bad, so long term ownership should be pretty cheap. Anything that can break would be easily sourced and changed out with US parts if needed. 100% better than a manual unit, and a fraction of the cost of a full mechanical machine. I am going to put a pulley system in my garage and store this thing tucked up in the ceiling joists out of the way till I need it.
Absolutely must have the 2 post/swingarm design to allow work on suspension, tires, wheels etc ! ! !
So let me start by saying that I ordered 2 of these machines at the same time. After about 2 months the springs on both machines for the main pedal broke. Also the breaker arms were warping where bolts were and the bolts were snapping. Customer service has been awful with this company. When I reached out to them about the problems It took WEEKS to get replies back maybe even months. They finally replaced the springs and also sent me a bolt....... I sent them pictures of the warped metal on the breaker arms and then communication stopped. I haven't heard back from them since. Now the metal has broken making the breaker arms unusable. I also purchased the Asurion plan on these and they won't cover these because its a "commercial product"... I have contacted Amazon customer service numerous times because the whole "12 month warranty" advertisement on this I feel like is a total scam. I welcome the company to reach back out to me and replace these breaker arms but I am not confident in hearing back
This tire changer can be modified so that it actually does change tires, but out of the box… it doesn’t. Here is what I had to modify, and change to actually change a tire of any kind.#1- Replace all of the hardware with grade 8 American bolts. This is mandatory if you want it to work at all. The Chinese bolts just bend and snap.#2- The air powered cylinder is held to the frame with these weird pins that rip out of the frame the first time you try to break a tire bead. You’ll need to drill them out to 1/2” and nut and bolt them through the frame with grade 8 hardware. You will also need to go over the pneumatic cylinder shaft with a fine tooth file, there were A LOT of gouges in the shaft due to really poor shipping crates that allow everything to just float around in the crate. Had I not done this, I believe that the cylinder would have failed the first time that it would have been activated.#3- You’ll have to drill out the fulcrum pivot hole on the bead breaker arm to a 9/16” hole to match the hole diameter in the frame. Replace the factory bolt with a 9/16”x 4 1/2” long bolt and nylock nut.#4- The tire rotating arm will need to be lengthened about 2” to operate correctly. It is too short from the factory.#5- The tire changer frame will need to be mounted on either a frame, or on castors that are six inches high. Without adding those additional inches it won’t break any normal sized tire bead as it is too close to the ground.After you have done all of the modifications listed above, it actually works reasonably well. It’s not a professional level machine, but it will do the job and is strong enough to change 285/75/R16 tires.
good lift, good price, works as it should
So we received the lift and the packaging was fine but the lift has scratches and dents all over it and the motor does not work everytime we try to use it the thing trips the breaker after looking into it(because I am an electrical engineer) i found that the winding on the motor are bad. Don't buy this lift it is a waste of time. Also note that the sellers customer service is non existing. I would not recommend this item or seller. This company is a scam
Delivers on a freight truck. Thing thing weights about 450 lbs. Be sure you can receive it to your location. Well packaged. Assembly was pretty straight forward. Found I had a few air leaks but they all amounted to loose fittings. Once they were tighted up it tested and works 100%. Build quality is good. For the guy that wants to save the cost of the tire shop it is a great investment.
It states: What's in the box;Truck "ramps", 20 ton.
Amazing lift . Easy to install fast shipping a works dam good can’t complain one bit . Would recommend. 1000 times . Could use better instructions but easy to figure out .
I recently purchased the 4.0HP 12000lbs Single Point Lock 2 Post Lift (220V AM120SD), and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. Here’s my breakdown: 1. Build Quality:This lift is built like a tank. The 12,000 lbs capacity easily handles my truck and SUVs without any sign of strain. The heavy-duty construction inspires confidence, and everything feels sturdy and durable. 2. Ease of Installation:Installation was straightforward for anyone with experience using lifts. It does require some preparation to anchor it securely to the floor and ensure proper leveling, but the instructions were clear. If you’re new to this, hiring a professional might be worth it. 3. Performance:The 4.0HP motor operates smoothly and quietly, lifting vehicles quickly and efficiently. The single-point locking system is a fantastic feature—easy to engage and ensures safety while working underneath. 4. Power Requirement:Since it runs on 220V, make sure your garage is set up with the appropriate outlet. This isn’t a standard household plug, but it’s worth it for the power and performance you get. 5. Value for Money:For the price, this is an incredible lift. It offers the same features and reliability as higher-end brands but at a much more affordable price point.Conclusion:This lift has been a game-changer for my home garage. Whether you’re doing oil changes, tire rotations, or more extensive repairs, the AM120SD makes it so much easier and safer. Highly recommended for DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics alike!Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

This KT2002 Mini Tire Changer Machine is a game-changer for anyone who needs a portable solution for on-the-go tire changes. It’s compact, lightweight, and surprisingly powerful for its size. The 39-inch height makes it comfortable to use, and the air bead breaker is effective at getting stubborn tires off with minimal hassle. What I appreciate most is that it doesn’t require any anchoring, making it ideal for mobile car repair and roadside assistance. I’ve used it several times already, and it’s held up well under pressure. If you’re looking for a reliable, portable tire changer, this one is a solid choice!
Built with sturdy materials and easy to use. This is a cost effective solution and it doesn’t take up much space.
Master tech for 30 years. This is the same as the Omega transmission jack. Finally purchased my own transmission jack, tired of different shops low quality transmission jacks its my safety on the line. This one also has a air option 😁👍for easy lifting.
Breaks the bead really nice and the rest of it works great too way better than the old manual Harbor Freight type that I've been using for the last 10 or 15 years
Machine works great on small tires but advertised to do 41” tires and 15“ wide wheel won’t do 35”tires on 12” rims so if your looking to do big tires look for a different machine
This is a price for one and amazon do not give refund and says that it is not their fault for having a picture of a set.
...i would and will definitely buy again the balancer they have works great aswell fast fast shipping ..the only issues i have came across is this machine is not strong enough to dismount 14 ply tires or low pro runflats the assists arms are not strong enough to hold the tire down..but i dont do enough of them for it to matter great for the money
Well I put this together it was missing a few parts. Instructions are complete garbage because they changed the design slightly. Where does the overflow line go on the lift pump there’s no connection for it so I have to figure that out and no wiring diagram for it. Says 110 volt and diagram on cover is for 220 so. I should have spent more and bought a higher quality lift. Welds look like a flux core welder. Not happy
