Tire Bead Jack Required with Third World Tires

I've objectively discovered in the last decade that all my NOT MADE IN GERMANY (Third World) tires are impossible to get on the rim by hand. Is it me of are others having similar issues? I have tennis elbow and wrist issues and am simply not interested in wrestling with my tires anymore.

This wonderful extra 100 grams (Kool Stop Tire Bead Jack) is coming along for the ride whenever I'm on Third World tires!
