I have the HF tire changer and MC adapter (I don't think they sell it anymore).
I wouldn't use the HF lever on a rim where cosmetics are important.
I added the MOJO Blocks and MOJO lever. It works (better than spoons anyday).
I bent the MOJO lever, I also broke the bolt that hold the plastic end on.
I then bought the No-mar tire changing lever. It works better than the MOJO lever.

I used a bead breaker and set of tire irons that I bought from JC Whitney for years until last year when I bought a used K&L tire machine off of Craigslist.
Are you looking for hand tools or a tire machine?

Not much difference in the different spoons I used. The longer tools will give you more leverage. Plastic from bottles make good rim protectors.
Use plenty of lube, dish soap works OK (diluted with water), tire lube is a little better.

The tire irons (set of 3) I got from JC Whitney are about 15" long. They always worked fine for me.
