Product description

The Vertical Slide Knob, also known as the lock cap, is an essential ergonomic component found on the swing arm or tower of Coats tire changers. This knob allows technicians to manually adjust and lock the height of the vertical slide bar, ensuring the mount/demount head is positioned perfectly relative to the wheel rim. Frequent handling and the corrosive atmosphere of a shop can cause original knobs to strip, seize, or become difficult to grip. This replacement knob features a nickel-plated finish for exceptional corrosion resistance and a knurled surface for a secure hand-tightened lock. Restoring this simple part improves the precision of the machine and prevents the vertical arm from slipping during the mounting process, which could otherwise damage the rim.
