The tool is used to compress the tire (after it has been installed but not inflated) so that the band can be installed. Then the tire can be released from the tool and inflated.
Removing a tire is the reverse. The tire is deflated and the bead broken. Then use the tool to compress the tire. Then remove the band. Then remove the tire.
