Hate those machines. Thankfully I don't have to work on tires though. Well, not retail ones anyway...

Personally, I just use a breaker bar and torque wrench. Both can be found at Canadian Tire at good prices when it's on sale. http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/ma...Fc17fgodSqEAwg http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/ma...9399p.html#srp
I don't work in a shop or change tires many times throughout the year, so I prefer to just keep it simple. Quote:

KAL tire loves me. . . . | Should take it to The Speed Syndicate.
They actually charge less then KalTire and they also use a touchless tire changing machine.
And guarantee their techs are better too.

Swapped on my summers today
I purchased my winters through Kal Tire so I get free swaps. The Fleetwood location of Kal Tire is one of the better ones in terms of techs and how it is run. Never had an issue there.

^ I don't think it's the kind that will stick and stay on the ground or affect your driving. Maybe wet snow/slush. You'll be fine.
