What types of wheel weights does ToolSource carry?

ToolSource offers a wide variety of wheel weights, including clip-on, adhesive (stick-on), and balancing beads. You can find options suitable for steel, aluminum, and mag wheels. We carry over 2000 different wheel weights from brands like WEGMANN automotive, Avenger, and COUNTERACT BALANCING BEADS.

Do you sell wheel weights specifically designed for aluminum wheels?

Yes, we offer clip-on and adhesive wheel weights designed for aluminum wheels. These weights are often coated or made from materials like zinc to prevent corrosion and damage to the aluminum wheel surface. Look for product descriptions that specify compatibility with aluminum wheels.

What are the differences between clip-on and adhesive wheel weights, and which is right for me?

Clip-on wheel weights attach to the rim flange, while adhesive weights stick to the wheel's surface. Clip-on weights are generally used on steel wheels, while adhesive weights are often preferred for alloy wheels or when a more discreet placement is desired. Consider the type of wheel and the desired aesthetic when choosing.

What material options are available for wheel weights at ToolSource?

We offer wheel weights made from various materials, including zinc, steel, and coated options. Zinc wheel weights are a popular lead-free alternative. Coated weights provide added corrosion resistance, especially important in harsh environments.

Do you sell wheel weights in bulk?

Yes, many of our wheel weights are available in bulk quantities. Check the product descriptions for packaging options and quantity discounts. This can be a cost-effective solution for shops that frequently balance tires.

How do I choose the correct weight size for my wheels?

The correct weight size depends on the amount of imbalance in the wheel and tire assembly. A wheel balancing machine is required to determine the necessary weight. Consult the machine's instructions and use the appropriate weight increments to achieve proper balance.

What should I look for when purchasing adhesive wheel weights?

When buying adhesive wheel weights, look for a strong adhesive backing that will securely attach to the wheel. Also, consider the weight material and coating for corrosion resistance. Some adhesive weights are pre-cut into segments for easier application and precise adjustments.

Are lead wheel weights still available?

Due to environmental concerns, lead wheel weights are being phased out in many regions. ToolSource primarily offers lead-free alternatives such as zinc and steel. Please check your local regulations regarding the use of lead wheel weights.

The Milwaukee M18 Cordless 18 Gauge Single Cut Shear (2637-20) offers professional technicians and mechanics a precise and unencumbered cutting solution for sheet metal. Engineered for seamless integration into the M18™ system, this bare tool delivers consistent performance for detailed work in collision repair, custom fabrication, and HVAC applications across various vehicle types and industrial equipment. It provides a highly portable alternative to traditional corded shears, including the Milwaukee Unishear.

Key Features

Cordless 18-Gauge Capacity: Capable of accurately cutting up to 18-gauge mild steel, its single-cut design minimizes edge distortion. This makes it ideal for fabricating or repairing body panels, rocker panels, patch panels, and light brackets on passenger cars, light trucks, and vans.
M18™ System Compatibility: As a bare tool, it integrates effortlessly with your existing Milwaukee M18™ REDLITHIUM™ batteries (sold separately), allowing for shared power packs across your M18 drills, impacts, and other cordless tools, enhancing shop efficiency.
Professional-Grade Durability: Constructed for demanding daily shop use, this shear offers cut quality and control comparable to a corded Milwaukee Unishear, providing the added flexibility of cordless operation in challenging environments.
Ergonomic, Controlled Operation: Weighing 4.85 lbs, the shear is balanced to reduce fatigue during overhead, vertical, and tight-access cutting applications, enhancing control and maneuverability for precise results.
Clean Sightline to Cut: A narrow head profile ensures a clear line of sight to the material, enabling accurate following of body lines, seams, and layout marks for precise material removal.

Applications

This M18 Cordless Shear is well-suited for collision and body shops for tasks such as cutting door skins, quarter panels, wheel arches, roof skins, and fabricating patch panels. It is also commonly used for trimming HVAC ductwork around vehicle bays, cutting roofing and flashing near service areas, and general fabrication on brackets, enclosures, and light industrial panels—particularly in scenarios where a corded shear is less practical.
