Tire Spreader

Post by Robin » Tue Nov 01, 2022 6:10 am

A recent addition to my motor pool tool collection is this Bishman brand Tire Spreader. Part of the 2nd echelon tool kit.

Very nice. I picked one up at spring Carlisle 2020. Needs a spring, not NOS by any means but in decent condition. Mostly it just gets in the way in the basement. But as you said, part off the 2nd Echelon so I had to buy it.

It's not nos as about half of the OD paint has chipped away. But mechanically it's sound.

Regardless, it looks in good condition!

Great find, Robin!

Here's mine from the Carlisle show in 2020 along with the other goodies I picked up that day.
