Product description

This aluminum rim protector is an essential shop accessory designed to provide a protective barrier between the hard metal components of a Snap-On tire changer and the sensitive surface of high-end alloy wheels. It clips onto the mounting head or clamping jaws, preventing metal-on-metal contact that can lead to unsightly scratches, gouges, or finish damage during the tire service process. Manufactured from a specialized, high-durability polymer, the protector is tough enough to withstand multiple tire changes while remaining soft enough to protect delicate chrome or painted finishes. Using these protectors is a standard best practice for any professional tire service facility, as it ensures customer satisfaction and protects the shop from the liabilities associated with wheel damage. This single-piece replacement allows for easy replenishment of worn or missing protectors in your shop.
