The Atlas® TC289 has a powerful ADJUSTABLE bead breaker located on the side of the machine which is designed to break even the most stubborn and rusted beads without damage to the rim. The turntable jaws (which can be covered with plastic covers) hold the rim securely without damaging the surface of the rim. These jaws can be moved to three different positions along the slide of the turntable to either increase or decrease the clamping range, and to handle the widest variety of tires.The Atlas TC289LH requires some assembly after purchase.
