After doing research on tire mounting bars for a few days, I finally decided on the Mojolever. I have taken a look at the No-mar and No-scufftiretool but I decided on the Mojolever because it looked really well built compared to the No-scufftiretool, and more affordable than the No-mar. Out of the three tools, the Mojolever is the only one that claims that it is able to mount Gold Wing tires (I can put this to the test if someone wants to volunteer for a free Gold Wing tire change and balance). I am sure all three tools work well, but the Mojolever seemed to be the best bang for your buck out of the three.

When I finally received the bar I found it to be packed well. However, FedEx somehow managed to dent and scuff the mounting end of the Mojolever. Although I don’t think it would have hurt the functionality of it, it bothered me just because I am OCD about these kinds of things. I emailed Mitch Patrie about it and I got a reply within a couple of hours offering to send me another with a shipping label in the box. In the end, I decided to assist him in filing a claim with FedEx and he sent me another Mojolever and added some wheel weights.

Now onto the actual product. The Mojolever feels very well built because it is a solid piece of steel (was told it was 1215 steel). The welds are clean and the plastic for the mounting end and demount tip are well made. I really like how the square steel stock becomes circular. All hardware used in the tool is recessed so there is no risk of scratching anything on a nut or bolt. The mount side of the tool has a curved edge so the bead can roll in smoothly. The bar is also finished with a smooth black powdercoat that got scuffed a bit during the change but hasn't reached the metal yet.

The Mojolever is actually very easy for me to use, even on car tires. I did not have issues despite not having much tire changing experience. The first tire was a bit difficult because I was not used to the tool yet, but after that I could take a tire off and remount in about 5 minutes.

Overall, I believe that the tool and the customer service you get is worth the $99.

If anybody would like to help me out with a set of Mojoblocks, I would gladly do a few tire changes and balancing in return.

Thanks for the review. I've not heard of the Mojolever before.

What brand/model is the tire changing station in the photo?
 
It's the Harbor Freight one. If you use their 20% off coupon you can get both the car and motorcycle changer for under $75.

The Mojo dude also makes Mojoblocks, which help make the HF tire changer a much better machine—they're basically inserters that keep the unprotected metal jaws from damaging your rims. Good stuff.
