Tire Iron 500 mm NEO Tools 11-112 — 500mm Pry Bar for Tire Removal

NEO Tools Tire Iron 500 mm (model 11-112) is a 500 mm pry bar engineered for manual removal and installation of passenger and light commercial vehicle tires. The fixed-length steel lever offers the reach and mechanical advantage needed to assist bead breaking, tire demounting and mounting, and basic rim work in garages, service vans or roadside repair situations. The straightforward design focuses on durability and ease of use for routine tire servicing tasks.

Advantages

The 500 mm length provides increased leverage compared with shorter levers, reducing physical effort when loosening tight beads or levering tires on and off rims. Constructed from hardened steel, the tool resists bending and delivers reliable performance under repeated use. A shaped tip and flattened end improve grip on bead and rim edges while minimising damage to tire beads when used correctly. The simple, solid construction makes the tool low-maintenance and suitable for mobile and workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Manual tire removal and installation on passenger cars
• Tire work on light commercial vehicles and vans
• Bead breaking and initial rim seating during mounting/demounting
• Garage service bays and mobile tyre repair operations

Key specifications

• Overall length: 500 mm
• Material: hardened steel construction
• Design: single-piece pry bar with shaped tip and flattened end for bead and rim engagement
• Application: manual tyre demounting/mounting and basic rim handling

How to use

Position the tyre and wheel assembly on a stable surface or mounting machine before using the pry bar. Use the shaped tip to engage the tyre bead between rim flange and tyre sidewall, applying steady leverage to pry the bead over the rim edge. Work incrementally around the rim, avoiding sudden jerks. For mounting, seat one side of the tyre on the rim, then use the pry bar to guide the opposite bead over the rim lip while ensuring the tyre bead and rim are aligned. Inspect the bead and rim for damage after each operation and reposition the tool as needed to maintain safe contact points.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and, where available, combine the pry bar with a dedicated tyre machine or tyre spoons to reduce rim and bead stress. Avoid excessive force that may damage rims or tires; if significant resistance is encountered, inspect for obstructions or use mechanical assistance. Store the tool in a dry location to prevent corrosion and routinely check for signs of wear or deformation before use.
