Kapsco has one but not sure if it's just a bead breaker or if it comes with attachments to remove/install the rubber.

With a set of spoons there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to change tires with it. I've done them with a pail and spoons.

Nomar isn't what I'd call cheap, but I love mine and it has definitely paid for itself and its a very solid tire changer.

Milk crates, 2 by 4's and a bit of elbow grease!

Can also brake a bead with a big C-clamp and a couple pieces of wood to protect the rim. Maybe not ideal if you are going to do huge volumes, but it works.

I change a ton of tires (anyone who does track does really), the 3 spoons work fine (you get good at it pretty quickly), breaking the bead is the most work. For that I recommend one of these:

buy a box of weights online, thats all you really need. Youtube will show you how to use the spoons. The key is to use the spoons in the right order for the right purpose. Spoons are $20-$30, the bead breaker is about $90, one time buy, its worth it not to have to dick around with 2x4's or c-clamps.
