Doug Pippin > Tire Irons Comparison - They don't look that much different but they sure do work different.
Harbor Freight on Top
Coats 220 on bottom
Doug Pippin > I purchased a Coats 220 Tire Iron with replaceable plastic wheel protectors and it made tire changing a breeze and the plastic protectors eliminated scratching your wheels.
I found the Coats tire iron at tooldiscounter.com  (http://www.tooldiscounter.com/catalog/COA.htm)
Half way down the page look for  Combo Tool, All Manual Tire Changers Coats 8107156
You'll also need the Combo Tool Protector Set Coats 8107423
Doug Pippin > This is the original Harbor Freight Tire Iron.
I tried taping plastic on the ends to prevent scratching the wheels.
It still did not work very well.
I kept it and use it for the bead breaker only. The Coats tire iron's diameter is larger and won't fit in the bead breaker
