Portable Hubs Wheel Balancer

good product at a fair price

I've always liked the concept of balancing tires with bubbles. with the addition or subtraction of wheel weights my truck now rolls down the road with relative. smoothness

5 stars very well made..

Husband loves this great product.. five stars..

Well made

Well made, no defects.

How to adjust

Back in the day this was the usual means of balancing a tire and wheel. Still works. Floor does not have to be perfectly level, just reasonably so. The manual does not cover adjusting the level. To do so tighten or loosen the small screws surrounding the bubble. Try it, you'll quickly figure it out.

Great Product...

I have read a lot of negative reviews about this product. Took awhile to ship, but package was complete. I set it up and adjusted the level. Balanced my tires on my 2005 Honda Accord (which was way out of balance). Product worked like a champ. Car is running very smooth. This was an excellent purchase...

Easy to use, very accurate

Works great & easy to use

I just purchased new chrome wire spoke wheels for my Classic TR3 sports car. I could not find anyone willing to balance my new tires and wheels so I decided to do it myself. Worked great & was simple to use ( I purchased some stick-on weights) Running my car from 0 to 85mph I don’t detect any vibration.

Works great...

This balancer works like it should. I balanced my truck tires (275/65/18) with it with no problems. The key here is accuracy on your part. Make sure the bubble is calibrated dead center before you start, then make sure the bubble is centered perfectly while balancing. No problem. Your wheels will run smooth.

It does what it's supposed to do.

What can I say? It just does the job.

it's my way on the highway

bought this bad boy to do my own tires. got a manual machine to pop beads and dismount/mount to go with it. now instead of $800 plus dollar tire changes, i can do it at half the cost. plus i can now do small time repair for people. not only will this machine pay for itself, it is so freaking easy to use, a ten year old could be taught how to slave in your shop using this machine. granted they aren't some snowflake who can't lift a tire. to use it is as simple as, place the level on the base, make sure it is centered ( the guide tube like style makes it easy to hit the first time) by tapping it a few times to make sure it wobbles right, then take a a tiny screw drive ( mine is a flat head, your's might be something else, idfk man) and adjust the bubble to the center ( the level in the middle yoski), place your tire gentle on the center hub, letting it rest on ring, make sure the hub slides up through the center hole nice, then place weights around the rim to make the bubble center up, use a marker ( paint maker is what i use) to make the center hole of the weight to the rim where it will be hammered on, then set tire on ground, hammer on weights, double check and adjust as needed. save a ton of money, do it yourself.

Easy to use

Absolutely love this product. Very handy.

Perfect for a racer

Great price. Work perfect for doing my racing slicks right at the track.

How to use the balancer

I have read a lot off reviews giving this unit one star, and most are reporting that they can't level the unit. There is no instructions on setup but if you read the manual that came with it, it says to be used by a qualified person. If you don't know how to set it up then perhaps you shouldn't be trying to use it.First make sure the little tit on the mounting bar is actually in the hole on the balancer. Then place the unit on a level surface. See where the bubble is. Gently move the balancing head, and if the bubble returns to the same spot then the balancer is working correctly. Now to center the bubble, there is 3 screws around the bubble head, adjust these screw as required to center the bubble. Once this is done you should have no trouble balancing tires.One other note, gently place the tire on the unit centering it. This is not a commercial unit.I have use this to balance 4 trailer tire and 4 truck tires with no problem.

Worked great for years.

I loved it. Until today. My son borrowed it and when I got it back today the bubble was gone.! Anyone have a clue on how to get the bubble back?
