I saw this tool when I was cooling down after a particularly vexatious encounter
that kept snagging the tube on top of being tight.
It seemed popular with ebike repairmen who wrestle with that nasty rear hub on top of it all.
and I thought it might be for changing without dismounting the wheel.
For the life of me I cant figure how it is used.
Any RTFMD or instructions out there?

There are several variations on this by VAR and others.
They may just be for tucking in the tube , though that seems excessive.
or just getting the wheel out a tight frame
Also , easy mounts are easy, hard ones are hard, and
there is a special place for the video where some (*&*)()&% mounts easy tires barehanded and looks out disapprovingly
in moments where The Fates and me don't appear to be playing on the same team.
