Both machines are available as a package for just £3,999, including a 24 month parts and labour warranty, delivery, installation and training.

A geodata™ gauge arm ensures quick and precise balance weight placement. geodyna® FUSION can be purchased separately for £1,599.

The monty® FUSION tyre changer is equally well specified, featuring a 26” clamping range through the use of Plus 6 adapters that are supplied as standard, as is an easymont® pro helper arm that ensures the safe and gentle mounting and demounting of low profile and run-flat tyres. A plastic demount head for alloy rims and quick-change head system is also included. monty® FUSION can be purchased separately for £2,799.

Chris Behan, General Manager, Snap-on Equipment, comments: “The FUSION wheel balancer and tyre changer duo is a high specification package that offers legendary Hofmann quality at a very competitive price. Pound for pound, I believe there is no better deal around, especially when you consider the two-year warranty, delivery, installation and training included.”
