> 3 dayIm 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.

> 3 dayHaving just snapped some REI levers into bits while trying to put a new tire on my mtb, I knew Id be replacing them with something from Park Tool. They have always been top notch, and these levers continue to uphold that reputation. The exposed metal tip made it easy to get the lever in place, and the slick plastic covering made the rest of the process of seating a Specialized GRID casing tire on a very tight wheel a complete breeze.

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekVery strong. So strong, you can potentially damage your rim. Use with cauton.

> 3 dayI have been a huge fan of Park tools for a VERY long time - at least 30 years, probably closer to 40. For a few years in college i was a mechanic in a local bike shop. I’ve found that despite the high price, their tools are usually worth the higher cost. I was quite shocked however, at these levers. Maybe I’m just completely missing something basic here, but these are incredibly bad! Not only did they severely scratch my black anodized rims, they also ripped the inner tube! Completely unusable. But take this with a grain of salt - most of the other reviews are excellent so this might just be operator stupidity (me). But even if that’s true, keep in my mind that i am a highly experienced mechanic - definitely not a novice. But they didn’t work at all for me…So watch out
