Continuing a Strong Partnership: MT-RSR & Gaither Tool Company
At MT-RSR, we're proud to continue our long-standing relationship with Gaither Tool Company—a brand trusted by some of the biggest names in the industry, including Michelin, Bridgestone, and even the U.S. Armed Forces.
This week, our Sales Team had the chance to meet directly with our Gaither representative. The training and discussion allowed our team to gain even deeper insight into Gaither's product line—ensuring we're better equipped than ever to help our customers choose the right tools for the job.
Three Years of Partnership—and Growing
MT-RSR has been an authorized Gaither distributor for nearly three years, and over that time, we’ve expanded our offerings to include over 20 top-performing Gaither products. From bead seaters to demount tools, the lineup continues to impress technicians across the country.
One of the standout product families? The Gaither Bead Bazookas.
The Bead Bazooka: Fast, Powerful, and Patented
Designed to rapidly seat tire beads by blasting a high-pressure burst of air between the wheel and bead surface, Gaither’s Bead Bazookas are a game-changer for tire shops. That pressure surge helps seat the bead instantly, reducing setup time and boosting shop productivity.
Many models feature Gaither’s proprietary Rapid Air Release (RAR) Valve, protected by multiple U.S. patents. This technology gives the Bazooka a significant edge, offering faster air delivery than most similar tools on the market.
Meet the Newest Release: 14L Bead Bazooka (GAI-BB14L3)
At the 2024 SEMA Show, Gaither unveiled their latest advancement in bead seating technology—the 14L Bead Bazooka (GAI-BB14L3). This upgraded model includes a massive 3” RAR Valve, delivering 50% more performance than the previous 2” version.
The 14L Bead Bazooka has been available for pre-order since its debut, and as of April 10, 2025, Gaither expects to begin shipping units by mid-April.
Like all Bead Bazooka models, the 14L is fully serviceable, with a complete line of repair and replacement parts available to extend the tool's life and performance.
Heavy-Duty Tools for Heavy-Duty Jobs
Bead seating isn’t all Gaither does. For technicians working with 19.5”, 22.5”, agricultural, or HD tires, Gaither offers two shop staples:
Together, these tools allow experienced techs to demount full MD/HD truck tires in about 30 seconds—making them essential for high-volume shops focused on speed and efficiency.
Why Gaither?
From cutting-edge engineering to proven performance, Gaither Tool Company continues to raise the bar for tire service tools. With innovation that helps shops work faster and smarter, and tools used by some of the world’s largest fleets, it’s clear why MT-RSR is proud to stand behind the Gaither name.
