This Titan 5lb. bead breaker hammer is extremely durable with a virtually indestructible handle. It features an Induction case hardened forged 50-58 HRC steel head, with 4 spring steel bars running through the handle, interlocking with steel locking plates ensuring that the head never becomes dislodged. The ergonomic rubber grip handle absorbs vibration and reduces fatigue. This hammer is used for breaking or separating the bead from the wheel when dismounting tires.
