VAN ALSTINE G-1000, TIRE GROOVER, GROOVING IRON, W/BLADES, SOUTHWEST SPEED INC

We bought this to groove our slick tires on our forklift for more traction outside in the mud and snow.What a huge difference!this thing works awesome!I highly recommend this product!

Spent a week grooving the tires of our loaders in anticipation of another Alaskan winter. 17 sets grooved. Our return operators noticed a big difference on our 11.5" snowfall!

this machine is absolutely the best one on the market.a lot of thought went into the design of it . It does everything it says it will do. The cutting head is comfortable to hold while using and does not make your arm or wrist tired. cuts with greatest of ease. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great machine!I have regrooved 16 tires so far, messed up a couple of blades because they got too hot, but in the cooler setting it does fine, once you have to start cranking up the power is because your blade is getting dull.I recommend this groover.

The guy who was suppose to ship my order didn't do well. First he didn't even pass by my house I saw him from my window and when I was coming outside my house to see if I could get his attention he literally took off . I give this 1 star. Unless my package gets here I'll probably change my mind , but for now 1 star.

That is if you're trying to maximize the life of the tires on your 18-wheeler. That's what I do. It heats to the desired level almost instantly and grooves nicely. I found out quickly that it's very hard to keep a straight line for 7 or 8 feet (the circumference around 18-wheeler tires). And the tires that I re-grooved only had 6 or 7 straight grooves all the way around the tire. Of course, a friend asked if I was drunk when I did it. I wasn't, but it looks like I was. On the next set of tires, the grooves are MUCH shorter because they are "lug" style drive tires instead of steer tires moved to a drive position. Re-grooving is illegal for steer tires. So if you're re-grooving steer tires, you must use them on either a drive axle or a trailer axle.Edit: Got a question from Roland, but Amazon takes me to the wrong place to answer his question, so I'll answer it here: This is a 110v item. It is also available in 220, though but it also costs more.

I dont know how I got by with an Ideal groover for 10 years. This thing is amazing! Ot took me about 10 minutes to cut a 49" Irok. Took about 15 minutes to turn a 31x10.50 mud terrain into a knobby for tuff trucks. I love it!

Excellent tire groover..I had been using the old solder iron type before..Night and day difference..This tool almost makes grooving 22.5 tires fun! (almost).. I definitely would recommend this to a friend.,
