Curved or angled rims giving your XB-450i grief? The Extended Clamp Arm is the fix.

Built to fit the BeadBuster XB-450i — and backward-compatible with the older XB-451, 452 & 454 PRO models — this extended arm drops down roughly 3″ below the feet of your 45X series tool, reaching further down the rim to grab a clamping surface that actually runs parallel to the tool. No more fighting wheels the standard arm just wasn’t built to handle.

A proven solution — with one thing to watch:
This arm has been field-tested as an effective answer to tricky rim shapes, but the extra reach means extra technique. The clamp force can tend to rock the tool backwards, away from the rim — so keeping the tool perfectly perpendicular to the rim face is critical to landing the bead bundle cleanly. A bit of extra manual pressure and careful alignment goes a long way to getting it right every time.

Bottom line: if angled or curved automotive rims have been beating your standard clamp arm, this upgrade gets the job done — just respect the technique, and it’ll deliver every time.
