Greater than one weekWorth the $ by a long shot. Ive snapped a few polymer sets of tire levers.... NO MORE!! the extra reinforcement is worth its weight in gold. Makes tight tire installs a lot easier. My only gripe is that they only come in a pair and not in a typical 3 levers

> 3 dayThese are easily the best tire levers Ive every used! Well worth the added cost compared to competitors. These are the first set of levers that Ive seen that have a metal core from tip-to-tip. All of the other steel core tools that Ive seen only have the metal core to the start of the lever part and Ive broken more than a couple of the tips off on a particularly nasty tire change. These are steel to the tip and they are almost certainly thicker (judging by their heft compared to the others) so I dont expect to ever have that problem. Additionally, they are coated with a plastic type of smooth surface that protects your rims and allows them to slide smoothly against the rim. The solid steel competitors can score up your rims. Yes, these are more expensive, but these are also probably the last set of levers that you will ever need to buy! Now excuse me while I go buy another set.... one set for my bike and one set for my at-home toolbox! And I plan I buying these as Christmas/birthday presents for my friends.

> 3 dayWell worth the extra money compared to plastic levers. Changing DH casings and fat tires is night and day different. Stop breaking plastic levers and get these!

> 3 dayI really like these levers. They are very thin for carrying around, super sturdy, a very good angle and long enough to provide leverage

> 3 dayFor those tire and carbon rim combinations which are seemingly impossible to mount or remove, these are the only tire levers which can possibly get the job done.

Greater than one weekThe metal reinforced levers are nice. I have these and the Diamondback ones; both are good. Keep in mind that they are 2 to a package. With the plastic ones, youll get 3. Tubeless ready and wire bead tires are tough sometimes, so the reinforced lever is probably the best choice. Weight weenies need not apply though.

> 3 dayNever worry about breaking one of these tire levers on a new tire with a tough bead, especially those small 16 tires on kid bikes. Keep a set with me when I bike tour and one set in the home bike shop tool box.
