Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a portable, hand-operated, and foldable tire removal and/or installation tool assembly and a method of removing and installing a tire on the rim of a wheel. The portable, hand-operated, and foldable tire removal and/or installation tool assembly comprises a handle, a bead gripper, a rim bracer, and a connection mechanism. The handle, the rim bracer, and the bead gripper are rotatably connected by the connection mechanism. The handle and the rim bracer include integrated tire levers that eliminate the need to carry separate tire levers. The connection mechanism is configured to be operated to arrange the handle, the rim bracer, and the bead gripper in a folding position to occupy minimal space to allow for convenient storage.
