The Gold Standard in Tire Tools

Founded in 1920 in Akron, Ohio—the heart of America’s tire industry—Ken-Tool has been a trusted name in tire service equipment for over a century. They’re not trying to reinvent the wheel; they just make it easier to work on. From passenger vehicles to tractor trailers, Ken-Tool covers everything with their extensive lineup of tire irons, bead breakers, torque tools, and specialty lubricants.

Their secret? An unwavering commitment to ruggedness and user-focused design. Every tool is built with real-world technicians in mind—minimizing fatigue, increasing speed, and reducing the risk of costly mistakes.

No More Friction Fights: Ken-Tool 35847 Bead-Eze Tire Super Lube – 1 Gallon

When you’re mounting or demounting tires, friction isn’t your friend. It slows you down, increases the risk of bead damage, and makes a tough job even harder. Enter Bead-Eze, Ken-Tool’s high-performance tire lubricant.

This one-gallon jug of Bead-Eze Super Lube provides smooth, efficient tire-to-rim installation and removal. It’s safe for all rubber compounds and compatible with most rim materials, making it an essential for any tire bay or service truck.

                                                       

Why techs love it:

• Reduces friction and helps prevent bead tearing

• Protects tire beads against damage

• Dries quickly, preventing slippage after mounting

• Non-toxic, non-corrosive, and easy to apply

Whether you’re dealing with low-profile passenger tires or massive commercial treads, Bead-Eze gives you the slick advantage you didn’t know you were missing.
