    Anyone ever found a place that sells them in bulk? Either preloaded in bags or in a bucket that you can weigh out yourself?

    Thanks

    Amazon, you can get a 17lb bucket $149.
    That just one of the adds I saw when I just looked it up.
    If you just type in balancing beads into your browser you'll get a results page listing several other places as well.

    Somehow I overlooked it the first time lol. That's definitely the best price so far, my parts guy quoted me nearly $100 for 8, 10oz bags for my drives

    The brand we're talking about is Esco I believe? In what way are the Counteract better?

    Counteract is tiny glass like beads. Equal is a powder. Equal will get in your valve stems and cause them to leak after a pressure checker is used. Equal also doesn't distribute in thevtire as easily and can hop if you are bob tailing.

    Counteract has none of the above issues.

    They are. If you spill some on the floor sweep them up or you'll end up on your butt real quick like.
