In an embodiment, the tool has a first end that includes a tapered tip and a second end that is coupled to the bead holder. The receiving area of the bead holder fits over a flange of a rim such that the rounded head pushes a bead of a tire toward a drop center of the rim while using the flange as a fulcrum.
