Bead Bazooka – Tire Inflator Makes Setting the Bead Easy!
February 9, 2012 1:08 pm Tire Service©DenLorsTools.com Summary: New Bead Bazooka is not a toy (it does look like fun to use). It’s a bead setting tool that’s light and easy to use. Versatile because it can be used on many different size tires. Here’s how to safely sets beads without hassle and without damaging the tire or wheel.
Low profile “stiff” sidewall tires are a pain to inflate. I used to work with a guy that introduced me to using starting fluid and a lighter, to ignite and inflate hard to seat tires! Singed hair on the back of my hand was almost guaranteed… tire getting inflated, not so much. Anyway, NOW there’s a much safer way to deal with hard to inflate tires.
This is what the company that produces the tool says.
Gaither’s revolutionary Bead Bazooka combines the unique rapid air release technology and easiest-to-handle tank for seating tubeless tire beads. Simply fill the tank, aim the redesigned Double Barrel, and FIRE!!
The instantaneous blast of air from the 6 liter tank will work on truck (including super singles), passenger, motorcycle, ATV and small AG tires.
Some of its features:
- Most powerful automatic release system available in any bead-seating device
- Smaller tank allows for easier handling in show and service truck
- Light weight (5,5 kg) reduces stress on the technician
- Push-button trigger allows technician to keep both hands on the tank for more control, making safer than manual release tanks
- “Slotted” Double Barrel directs the air for best overall lift
- Fully CE & ASME certified
- Patent-pending design, patent-pending RAR system and registered trademark

Update: 1/26,16 – Why the Bazooka Bead Blaster is no longer sold in the USA and Canada? The short answer is because of a law suite. U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank of the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota ruled that Gaither’s U.S. Bead Bazooka line of tire bead seaters infringes on TSISSG’s U.S. Patent 6,179,033, which covers TSISSG’s Cheetah Cannon product. The court entered a permanent injunction Jan. 26, 2016 enjoining Gaither from directly or indirectly making, using, selling, offering for sale or importing or causing or inducing others to make, use, sell, offer to sell, or import all of Gaither’s Bead Bazooka products in the U.S. Basically Bead Bazookas are not available in the USA and Canada anymore.
