Default can anyone tell me what this thing is really really used for?

Just what you said: to balance wheel/tire assemblies. Before spin
balancers, this was an accepted method of statically balancing a wheel.


Hope its still accepted. I have one like bill's and my own tire changer
machine. Static balancers do as good a job as the new dynamic units, but
they are fussy and slow. Two traits that don't go well with the work you get
at wally world etc.
