Park Tool TL-6.2 Tire Lever Set

I feel like a tart for diddling around with plastic levers for so long. Duh!

I had resigned myself to just bringing extra levers on my rides and expecting to break half of them on the first use. I was using the big thick plastic yellow ones belonging to that brand whose name you should vote for. Wink/nudge. As an act of desperation I also tried using smallish motorcycle spoon levers, and plastic-coated them with heatshrink. Bad idea. Too strong and too thick. These Park levers are metal that is *just* thick enough to not permanently bend (so far) and thin enough so they fit without gouging anything. They also are plastic coated with some thick material that is *just* thick enough to stay on without getting ruined during use. With tubeless-ready tires and rims fitting way tighter than back in the day, you need a serious lever that isnt so serious it tears and gouges its way to a seated bead. Im sold. Just ordered a second pair and will keep doing so until all my bikes slowly but surely have a pair of these in the tool kit.

These tools are everything I expected and they look like they are made to last, but also have a coating that will not scratch the rims.

Im in love with these levers. I went through a 3-pack of cheap levers which my WTB tires demolished. Then I got a 2-pack of Pedros yellow levers which fared better but I still had a helluva time with. Finally I managed to break one of them with a particularly difficult install and decided to spend the extra money on these. Wow! Now I can get my Trail Boss tires on with near-ease. Plus Im not doing the damage to my tubeless tape that was driving me crazy before. Save yourself the aggravation and get these.

Love these tire levers, I broke so many plastic ones in the past.

These are strong, work great and dont damage rims.

I have a tirenthat is a stubborn SOB. Its like it wanted to be a 650b instead of a 29er. I though Id need a metal reinforced lever for the task so I bought these and for Park Tools reputation. These seemed to want to peal the plastic coating off and simultaneously scratch my rim while scraping rubber off my tire at the bead. Although Im sure I could have gotten them to work, it was better to use the Gorilla Force all plastic levers I bought at the same time. These barely bent and didnt scratch, which was perfect.

Best tire levers I’ve used.

I like that the inner steel is covered in a soft plastic wrap.

they are very good. the size and handles make them easy to use.
