I've found my split rim hammer... I hadn't seen it in 6 years. But if I use the head as one of these 'chisels', it would be safer for my rims than whacking away like a sledge hammer.
But emergency use only. One of the three hardest days of work I ever did was changing 5 tires in an afternoon. The other two were stacking 11 tons of hay bales, and running a tar kettle and hoisting the buckets to the roof.
I'm sure glad the immigrants want those jobs.
