Apart from working at knee hight whats the difference in this £200 one

And the ones you can buy for £50? Do they really make changing a mousse as easy as it looks.

There is a diferance, its in the perfect leverage an expensive one will give that allows you to push the tyre off with out having to lever it all the way off first. if you know what I mean.
there is another option, steve plain sells a real good one (ive got one) for about £110> real good job but I cant say if its as good as the rabaconda.

Check out scorpion tyre changer and company producing them in mid wales look the dogs

Personally I find it harder using a tyre changer than without, seek to get in the way. I was using a 50 quid one, ratchet strapped on a work bench at waist height.

I find facing the wheel sprocket side down on the grass, a bead buddy and a few good levers the easiest and can change a tyre and mousse on my own in about 10-15 mins
