Does anyone here work at a tire store? I am going to buy myself a wheel balancer for my home garage and I can't seem to get any knowledgeable input from anyone that I've asked with regard to quality of equipment.
I can afford up to $2500 and at the moment I'm looking at a Coats 700, Corghi EM43, and a CEMB K10. I only balance car tires that fit on normal cars. I don't fool with trucks or super wide race tires or the bling bling 24" chrome things.
I have ruled out brands such as Ranger because they use a belt drive system that just seems cheap.
So my question is: What is the most critical feature to watch for in a wheel balancer in hobby use?
Thanks for any input.
