Ammco Plastic Duck Head Demount Mount Kit (8183061)

Description

The Ammco Plastic Duck Head Demount Mount Kit (8183061) is an essential upgrade and replacement component for professional tire servicing. Engineered from high-grade nylon, this mount/demount head is specifically designed to eliminate the risk of damage to valuable alloy and steel rims during the tire mounting and demounting process. Unlike traditional metal heads, its non-marring material ensures that rims remain pristine, preventing scratches, chips, or scuffs that can occur from direct metal-to-metal contact.
