Has anyone had experience with the Harbor Freight cheap changer, the $999 deal ?
Will only be doing a few dozen changes a year and want to get away from the PITA factor of lugging the track wheels to the local shop. I already have a Snap-on hand spin balancer which works great.

Snap on make the best balancer. The make a hand spin model, no joke, hand spin. Mount the wheel, give it a little spin, the computer does the rest. It comes with standard and fine settings. If you can find an early model, they are better because they take very little garage space. More info on the current model at: http://buy1.snapon.com/products/diag...s/EEWB305A.asp
Most rim clamp, well... most tire changers are manufacturer in Italy. There is little difference between them. One of the best sources for tire changers is Kurt Lieber http://www.werther.com/werther/auto/...echangers.html
