Gaither Tools

About Gaither Tool Co.

Gaither Tool Co., Inc. has been engineering purpose-built tire and wheel service tools since 1988, growing from a focused American manufacturer into a globally recognized name trusted by professional technicians on every continent. Tire service tools are at the heart of what Gaither does — designing and building equipment that makes the toughest jobs in the shop faster, safer, and more efficient.

Headquartered in Jacksonville, Illinois, Gaither is a privately held, family-oriented company that takes a hands-on approach to innovation. Gaither products are sold through a global network of distributors, and the brand's reach extends to over 100 countries worldwide. A European branch office, incorporated in the Netherlands as Gaither Europe BV, was established to serve international markets more effectively. Their manufacturing and international distribution hub is located in Taichung, Taiwan.

Innovation-First Engineering

What separates Gaither from the competition is a relentless commitment to research and development. The company continually invests in bringing the most effective tools to market — not just incremental updates, but genuinely novel solutions to problems that tire technicians face every day. Signature products like the BEAD BAZOOKA® and the Bead Booster® family have redefined how shops handle the bead-seating process, turning one of the most frustrating tasks in tire service into a quick, repeatable operation. The Beadkeeper® — a drop-forged steel mounting-assist tool — is another example of a patented Gaither design that has become a shop staple worldwide.

Notable clients include major industry players such as Bandag, Euromaster/Michelin, Bridgestone's First Stop, and the United States Armed Forces — a testament to the durability and dependability that professionals demand from Gaither equipment.

A Complete Tire & Wheel Service Solution

Gaither's catalog spans the full spectrum of tire and wheel service needs. From tire changing tools — including demounting tools, bead breakers, bead seaters, tire lubricants, and wheel balancing accessories — to heavy-duty lifting equipment like bottle jacks, garage jacks, and jack stands, the brand offers a comprehensive solution for any shop environment. The WINNTEC by Gaither sub-brand extends the lineup further with wheel dollies, wheel assist tools, and a range of professional jacks engineered for both workshop and mobile roadside service.

Whether you're running a commercial fleet maintenance operation, a full-service tire shop, or providing on-road assistance, Gaither Tool Co. offers the specialized tools that protect technicians, reduce cycle times, and help shops of all sizes operate at a professional level.
