leaving the arm free to swing over the face of the rim without a
safeguard. Doing Low Profile wheels, the tension in the spring load lever
to hold the duck springs back, unlevers and duck pops up and drags
ass across the face of the wheel. SCRATCH


just saying ive seen lots of crazy things happen in those types of shop which is why plastic ducks are preffered.
yes, the adjustable screw that stops the arm from flying across the wheel is a BIG help.
As for Low-pro's, we have a hydraulic arm that comes down and presses down on the tire and gives you some more leverage and getting the bead under the lip of the duck/rim.
The machine I posted looks like a stripped down version of what we have.
