tool
Tyre lifter
The blacksmith or wheelwright uses the tyre lifter to remove the glowing
iron (wheel)band from the fire to place it on the rims. Afterwards, the
tyre is pulled onto the rims of a wheel with the sledgehammer and the
tyring dog. This hook-shaped tool is also used by the millwright when
covering the millstone with iron hoops. Smaller wheel tyres are removed
from the fire with smith's tongs. Some models look very similar to the
scroll wrench. [MOT]
