*the "attachment" thing makes me wonder if it's just the top part, but if it is, where do you get the bottom?

The top part is 60 dollars, then you buy the other part separateley. I have the same one or had since I left it at the appt when we moved, I moved up to a full no mar model.

So I'd need the base separately too? Or are you referring to the balancer?

yes the base also has the bead breaker on it and a balancer is a whole separate thing, although I have mounted a bunch of tires and never balanced them and havent had any problems.

Yep, the top and bottom pieces are on sale for $49 each, so $98 total. Plus, I have the 20% coupon so approx $80.

Here's a guy using it, kinda drags but he does a good job explaining it.
