I can remove them and put them on without anything but my fingers. GP 5000's, Vittoria Rubino Pro's, Specialized Turbo Pros and Bontrager something. No idea what country they were made in. All 23 to 26 mm 700C tires on various brands of alloy rims.
I have to get in the zone to remove them though. But once you know the trick it is pretty easy. It's the trick that is a little difficult.
