I like it.

I was trying to replace some tires on my small home built utility trailer (use around the house for stuff) and tried to break the beads (20 years of the same tire on the same rim) and it was not possible with ordinary hand tools.

So, I looked around and did se that video on Youtube and a couple of others. 

Then I found a guy in my small town at a Western Auto store that would do it for $12 for each tire including mounting the tire.  I used him. 

I will also be stopping by to buy some stuff I need instead of going to Lowes.  Its a real small store but does work on small power equipment.

FWIW, I use the old farmer method. Lay a piece of plywood on the ground behind the pickup. Block the motorcycle wheel to protect the brake disc. Place the base plate of your jack-all on the tire so it won’t hit the rim. Extend the Jack-all so the lifting tang goes into the hitch receiver. 3 or 4 pumps on the handle and. -Viola!- broken bead.
Key ingredient for this recipe is, of course, a Jack-all!

As long as the bike has a reasonably sturdy kickstand, I've used those.
