- Hey y'all, here's how I unboxed and assembled my new tire balance from Katool. I got a package deal from them on ebay and took a road trip to get it with a lift and tire changer.

I’m about to buy one of these balancers. Good vid.
Thanks, I don't know what I'm doing yet as far as making videos, but that balancer is 1/2 the cost of others and works as it should!!
Thanks good video one question can you calibrate this machine before you start
It comes calibrated from the factory, but to check it or recalibrate use a 14"-15" wheel that is already balanced and follow the instructions in the back of the manual using the provided wheel weight to make sure it's correct.

Thanks, one question what difference between b700 and b760 machine and which one is better for long run less problem
@@MikeMike-qw3uk I'm not really sure, the 700 doesn't have the auto start flip down wheel cover, maybe the b760 does? IDK
Please let us know any more updates for this tire balancing machine
This machine works great, I've balanced 20's, heavy load range e commercial 18's on my buddies hotshot truck, as well as 13,14,15in trailer tires. All have been balanced well and used up to 80mph, some 120+ lol, it's a good machine and for the price I paid for it, it's already paid for itself.

Thanks nice one question it is capable to do 20 inches tire and above for truck as I have truck 20-in tire
@@MikeMike-qw3uk says will balance up to a 39" Dia tire
Hey bud I just bought the same wheel balancer and was wondering if you can help me out. I can’t change from grams to ounces for some reason. Instructions are not that good. Have you been able to do it? Thanks
I believe you hold opt and alum at the same time or opt and the down arrow key on the wheel dia
I did it once and have never had to touch it again
Thanks bud I appreciate it!
Yeah the instructions are horrible, but tech support is great, call the # and the dude will walk you through anything
@@Modified1 yes I agree, instructions are not that good. And thats awesome! I will call them if I ever need help with something thanks again
Could you please post the “Foot Print” size of the Balancer ?? Also, about how much do you think it weighs ? I can’t find any size info on it.
Sure can, just the balancer?
@@Modified1 Yes Sir, please. I know shipping is by freight but just needing a rough weight guess of the balancer.
@@workharddieproud it weighs around 100lbs or less
@workharddieproud 27" wide, 23" deep at the base. The balancer arm is 12" wider than the base so total is 39" wide 23" deep
@@Modified1 AWESOME and THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!
Hi can I ask you something did you ever regret buying this machine or you are very happy.
The reason I am asking I am debating buying this machine or May Flower stuck between which one is better I am not commercial garage person I am just residential homeowner wanted to buy myself cars and family cars hard to take decision if you advise me what you think as you are great person answer every time.
I found lots of videos for Mayflower tire balancing machine but surprising there is only one video which is you posted that's all nothing else great video keep it up
So far this machine has been great. I've balanced trailer tires, car/truck tires, 14" up to 20" the largest tire was a 305/70r17 and it balanced it perfectly. So no, no regrets at all. Customer service is excellent and the package I bought with the tire mount machine was $1900 for both on eBay.
I'm also not a commercial company, and my "shop" is just a 24x30 carport. I build boats too and walls would get in the way.

Thanks for reply one question what do you think about Mayflower tire balancing machine
@@MikeMike-qw3uk I was looking for bang for the buck. I didn't look at the mayflower machine to compare, but I like mine and my kids call it the mouse Katool lol
You are great answer every time if you don't mind can you tell me how much is weight and measurement what is hight and width appreciate
I'm not sure what you're asking. All of that depends on the wheel and tire combination that you're balancing. The rim width is measured by the caliper provided with the machine, the wheel dia is just that r14, r15, r20, r17 and the machine will tell you how much weight once the tire is spun.

I means how much is total weight of this machine when you got your delivery and actual machine size how tall is and how much width is I am planning to see if it is fit in my garage location where I am thinking to keep
@@MikeMike-qw3uk oh ok, it's about 100lbs, 3ft tall and takes up about 3ftx4ft floor space
