Any one made a easy to use bead breaker. Made one but it is a bit of a pain to use.
You can do, I use a bit of petrol on stubborn truck tires, But a ratchet strap wrapped and tightened radially around the tyre usually works too.How do you all re-seat your beads? Occasionally just inflating works, but often you can't get the initial seal. I've resorted to a quick squirt of Easystart (ether) and a match, which works remarkably well, but when I did some small wheels on a garden tractor the other month, although they sealed, very rapidly the burnt gas cooled and shrunk and the tyre looked like an old man with no teeth ! Stayed on the bead though !

With truck tyres i always just push the pcl fitting directly on to the valve stem with the core removed until the beads seated.always take the valve core out when trying to inflate you get more flow of air into the tyre
I've got one but it doesn't flow half as much air as clipping the pcl on direct, And it stays on!you need this type woody one that clips on while you kick the rim etc to seal it

Been there done that
Cant beat a stubborn split rim or super low profile trailer tyre for you to invent new swear words
