Ken-Tool has released the Mega AirBlast, a bead seating tool designed to properly seat the bead of tubeless tires to the rim.
The Mega AirBlast has an operating maximum pressure of 165 psi (11 bar) and uses pressurized air to uniformly force the tire’s bead onto the rim before inflating the tire to the correct pressure,
