If you work on bike tires at all, particularly the newer stiffer bead tires like Continental Gatorskins, I highly recommend getting a Kool Stop Tire Bead Jack. http://www.amazon.com/Kool-St...
Makes putting on tires so easy and greatly decreases risk of you pinching the tube when you finish the tire.
BTW if you are wondering how to use the funky thing, here's a video made by a Portland bike shop http://www.youtube.com/watch...

The video is pretty funny, btw.
