I also have a Snap On "touchless machine" that name is a bit of a misnomer though as it does touch the rim during dismounting & mounting (not while unseating the bead though). It clamps one of two ways :
#1 is 4 little arms nuematically spread outward pushing against the inside of the rim. #2 you can start in the outward position with those arms, hit the button & they come in to grip the rim just inside the bead area. I have done everything from the most expensive aluminum wheel to dually wheels with never a scratch. I just took the old tires off my 64 GP 8 lug wheels so I could paint them yesterday with no problem. I don't have a computer balancer. I have Centra-Matics on the dually & use counter-act balance beads for most everything else. I do still have an old bubble balancer left from our gas station in 1982!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
