Tire Spoon 500 mm, Kuźnia Sułkowice steel tool steel (model T-2880)

Tire Spoon 500 mm from Kuźnia Sułkowice, model T-2880, is a 500 mm tyre lever made from tool steel designed for removing and fitting tyres on rims. The straight, solid-steel construction provides the necessary stiffness and strength for manual tyre changing in workshops, garages or field conditions. This tool is intended for use on passenger cars, light trucks and some agricultural wheels where a robust pry bar is required to manipulate the tyre bead safely and efficiently.

Advantages

The tool steel construction ensures high resistance to bending and wear during repeated leverage operations. At 500 mm length the spoon gives a balance between reach and control, allowing the operator to apply leverage without excessive force. The ergonomically profiled tip and hardened working edge reduce the risk of rim damage when used correctly. Its simple, solid design requires no additional maintenance beyond basic cleaning and corrosion protection.

Suitable for

• Manual tyre removal and fitting on passenger cars
• Light commercial vehicles and light trucks
• Basic agricultural wheels and small farm machinery
• Workshop and roadside tyre service where a durable lever is needed

Key specifications

• Overall length: 500 mm
• Material: tool steel (hardened working area)
• Construction: solid steel, one-piece lever
• Working end: profiled spoon tip for bead manipulation
• Finish: corrosion-resistant treatment (factory applied)
• Intended use: manual tyre changing and bead seating

How to use

Position the tyre spoon tip between the tyre bead and rim, using the profiled end to hook the bead. Apply steady, controlled leverage while supporting the rim to avoid damage. Work progressively around the rim, moving the spoon and reseating the bead as needed. For fitting tyres, use the spoon to guide the bead over the rim flange while keeping pressure even and checking that the bead seats uniformly. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, keep hands clear of pinch points, and follow vehicle manufacturer recommendations for tyre removal and installation.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool for its intended manual tyre changing tasks and avoid excessive prying on hardened or alloy rims without protection. Combine with rim protectors or soft covers when working on painted or alloy wheels to minimise cosmetic damage. Store the spoon in a dry place and inspect for wear or deformation before each use.
