I bought a NoMar middle range price model in 2006 at the Burlington, VT Nat'l BMW rally. As well bought a Marc Parnes balancer. Probably had $900 in the complete package. I changed over 300 tires the past 12 years for myself and others. Each spring I bought a pallet of 20 tires at wholesale prices I knew I needed and those I changed tires for. I never broke a part on mine and really the only thing that could break is the tip as John memtioned. I had mine bolted on a piece of ¾" plywood so could move around the garage when not using. I put the plywood on a 36" X 60" door mat felt side down so it slide around easily. This summer I decided to get out of the tire changing business and sold the NoMar for $550 and the Marc Parnes for $125 to a group of 4 riders from my local BMW club.
I've looked at a few brands of tire changers for the casual user and feel the NoMar is the best on the market. Marc Parnes as well is very good balancer but NoMar also has a balancer just as good.
