As far as twisting it around goes, yes I agree but for breaking a tire loose then I would say that 3/4" plywood would be better as I have found that even 4 ply 1/2" plywood tends to be a bit too shall we say pliable to be very steady for any but the most light work. Then again most of what I have done with the tire changer has been the bead-lock stuff on 3 and 4 wheelers. Breaking those loose is one mother of a job. Car tires are almost a cinch compared to the bead-lock stuff.

I think as long as the operator is standing on the same platform the changer is affixed to, you won't be moving it around when you reef on the handle.
