The Gunson Static Wheel Balancer is designed for home mechanics and workshop enthusiasts looking to perform precision wheel balancing on narrow, spoked, or steel wheels. By providing an affordable manual method for achieving rotational equilibrium, it ensures a smoother ride and reduces tire wear, though it is limited to static balancing and does not provide the dynamic balancing capabilities found in high-end motorized workshop machines.

This model is primarily designed for narrow spoked and steel wheels. Most modern alloy wheels are too wide for this specific static balancer.
No, the Gunson 77162 is a purely mechanical, gravity-based tool and requires no power source.
While the height is 575mm, the limiting factor is the hub centre hole size, which must be between 38mm and 100mm.
The aluminium base provides sufficient stability for static balancing, though it is best to place it on a heavy, stable workbench.
Standard clip-on or adhesive wheel weights suitable for your specific rim type are required for the balancing process.
Ensure the wheel is properly centered on the balancer and the spring-loaded ring is fully engaged. Also, verify that the surface the balancer is sitting on is perfectly level.
Inspect the pivot point and the spring-loaded ring for accumulated dirt or debris. Clean the mechanism with a non-abrasive cloth and ensure it is free of obstructions.
To set up the unit, ensure the base is bolted down or placed on a vibration-free, perfectly level surface. When checking compatibility, measure your wheel's hub centre hole to confirm it falls between 38mm and 100mm. If the hole is outside this range, the wheel will not sit correctly on the balancer.
