Tire Needler Perforator Tool - 2" Wide

Precision Perforation for Better Tire Grip & Heat Management

Overview

Upgrade your tire prep game with the Tire Needler Perforator Tool — a rugged, high-quality tool designed to micro-perforate tire surfaces, improving traction and helping manage heat build-up. This 2" wide version features rows of ¼" tall, straight pins mounted in a durable steel roller head, available with a 5" hardwood handle for hand use. Caution: pins are needle-sharp.

Key Features & Benefits

• 2" wide steel roller head tolerates heavy use and delivers consistent perforation across tire surfaces

• Wood handle (5″) option provides a comfortable grip, ideal for handheld preparation; also available without handle for stand mounting

• Durable construction built to withstand the rigors of racing and frequent usage

• Enhanced traction & heat control: perforating the tire surface allows trapped gases to escape, smoothing temperature gradients

• Precision machining ensures consistent depth and application across the roller surface
