So these types of balancers can do the job safely? If so, I'll add it to
my Christmas list. (Even though Santa doesn't seem to come to Afghanistan

Indeed, a friend of mine who used to run a tire shop swore that they
actually work better than dynamic balancers. When my motorhome had a

balancer, took off about half the weights, and the problem disappeared.
