Getting tyres onto a 16" Brompton wheel is pretty difficult with just fingers. Schwalbe Marathon tyres particularly; you end up chasing the bead round the rim as pushing it in at one point causes it to pop out further round.
I keep a length of webbing belt in my pannier to lock the potentially out going bead from moving.
