It's a pretty mediocre bead breaker - and even a good one often
needs to be applied to several points around the tire to knock it
down. The (cheap) breaker sometimes needs to be tied with a twisted
rope to keep them against the rim.. Helps to have it adjusted properly
too.


When working with automotive size tires, makes sure the tire is warm
(put it in the heated part of the house, if you are in a cold
environment, for a while before trying to break the bead).

Make sure you have removed the valve stem core.

Put a little diluted liquid soap where the rim meets the tire.

If possible, stand on the area of the tire where you are attempting to
break the bead. This will add some additional force without exerting
any effort.

We use our HF bead breaker for tractor and other yard equipment tires,
some of them are pretty large.
