Step-by-Step Guide on How to Use the Golden Buddy

To make the most of the Golden Buddy, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Align the ‘fork’ of the demount head and use the kick plate to insert the head of the demount head under the top bead.

2. Lift up on the rubber handle and ‘step through’ the center of the tire while pulling to remove the top bead of the tire. This pulls the top bead off of the rim. Keep the tool in place for the next step.

3. Walk the tool back through the center of the tire while still holding the rubber handle. Bring the handle back down almost to the starting position to drop the forks under the bottom bead.

4. With the bottom bead engaged, walk the tool back through the center of the tire in the same fashion as the top bead removal.

The Golden Buddy tool includes a demount bar, mount bar, and nylon bead holder, providing all the necessary components for efficient tire changes.

Real-Life Reviews on Amazon for the Golden Buddy

Don’t just take our word for it. Here are some real-life reviews from tire technicians who have used the Golden Buddy tool:

1. ‘The tool did exactly what it showed. My time to do tires for my truck was less than half the time before without this tool.’

2. ‘Probably the only thing that I’ve ordered in a long time that way over exceeded my expectations. This thing is built like a tank and is very heavy compared to what it looks like. It took me less than a minute to have a 290/75R22.5 tire completely off the rim. It would take me a while fighting with two tire bars to dismount a tire. The bar to mount the tire back on the rim took a minute to get the hang of, but once you figure out how far you can move it without it slipping out from between the rim and tire, it worked great. Just make sure that you buy the AME and not some knockoff brand.’

3. ‘I started using the dismounting tool when I worked at a truck shop several years ago. Now, I’m running my own trucks and doing a lot of work myself. Dismounting truck tires made easy with this tool.’

4. ‘I wasted a lot of money and time with the off-brand. There is no comparison. I feel a bit dumb for trying the other ones, even though I have reviews on them. They’re bent, and the angles are different. I used this and laughed at its ease.’

These reviews highlight the efficiency, durability, and superiority of the Golden Buddy compared to other options on the market.

Why Choosing the Golden Buddy  Over Knock-Off Brands Matters

When it comes to tire tools, choosing the Golden Buddy over knock-off brands is a decision that can significantly impact your tire-changing experience. Here’s why it matters:

– The Golden Buddy is built with heavy-duty steel construction, ensuring durability and longevity. Knock-off brands may compromise on materials and construction, leading to potential breakage or inefficiency.

– The tool’s design features nylon rollers that protect the bead, reducing the risk of damage to the tire during the changing process. Knock-off brands may lack this crucial feature, increasing the likelihood of bead damage.

– Real-life reviews from tire technicians consistently praise the Golden Buddy’s performance and reliability, while expressing disappointment with knock-off brands.

By investing in the authentic Golden Buddy, you can have peace of mind knowing that you have a high-quality, efficient, and trusted tool for all your tire-changing needs.

Don’t settle for subpar imitations. Choose the Golden Buddy and experience the difference it can make in your tire-changing operations.
