Capable Tire Changer, Disappointing Balancer
The tire changing machine is very capable and has worked great. The balancer received was not the model shown; it was the ME-620, and it is only just usable. Only Dynamic mode works, and even then weights must be adjusted repeatedly to reach zero consistently. Aluminum wheel mode indicates adding double or triple the initial weight when verifying. Calibration did not change this. The overall value is seen as paying for the tire changer, with the balancer as a free extra that looks nice in the shop.
