Default Wheel Balancer at HF
I just saw this wheel balancer in the Harbor freight flyer for $14.99. Has anyone used something like this?

Is it worth 15 bucks to balance the wheels?

I purchased their motorcycle tire balancer for $59.99 and have been very pleased with it.

FWIW my friends that balance aircraft wheels a lot say they have to spin on their bearings and bubble balancers are not very useful......
