Motion Pro 08-0519 BeadPro Tire Bead Breaker and Lever Tool Set

Prompt shipment, appreciated that. Appear very sturdy.

They work. Without reading the directions and never having removed a big dual sport tire before they logically allowed me to break the bead with minimal thinking. Besides working fine as a bead breaker, they can double as tire spoons too so if you are using it to make a to-go emergency tool kit its a reasonable choice. No regrets on purchase. -- On a side note, if you have never changed a tire yourself yet do yourself a flavor and practice the first one in the safety of your garage. Its do-able, but hard work. Having prior experience before a real emergency could be valuable later so you know you have all the right tools and knowledge in advance. Also bought Motion Pro 08-0286 10 T6 Combo Lever to do this and it is a very nice item.

I have dismounted / mounted 5 tires with these Motion Pro 08-0519 BeadPros so far. At $35 per mount at a bike shop, they have more than paid for themselves. They provide great leverage and are easy to use. The bead breaker function works amazingly well. After a few bites, the bead pops right off. I have the shorter length. They are more than sufficient, but I can see where the longer ones would be worth the extra money. Would absolutely recommend.

Like it very much used it to change tires on my motorcycle.

I gave this product a 3 star because they do the job, but you have to put more effort into it because the bars are too short for getting any good leverage. My opinion is these need to be twice the size in length or at a minimum 50 percent longer. For $50 you would think you would get a bit better product out to the consumer.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well these two tools work together to break the bead, with very little effort, and also by their light weight.The only reason Im giving four stars instead of five is that I would like them to be longer, to give more leverage/torque for the spoon side. I know they make longer ones, but those are heavier steel. Otherwise, this is a seriously good tool; a roadside motorcycle mechanics life-saver!

These are lightweight but sturdy and came in incredibly handy when I picked up a nail and had to repair a tire. Great purchase.

These are short, lightweight tire tools. Their shortness is appropriate to fit in a trail toolkit. There is no other reason not to get the long steel tools that will work much more easily. The lightweight aluminum on these is strong but is no doubt why theyre so expensive. The novel bead-breaker function of the levers works well, but is probably not necessary for dirt bike or dual-sport type tires and wheels. Breaking the bead down is not that hard. Keeping the bead in the drop center is harder, but these dont really help with that. On street wheels with radial street tires, the bead breaker might make a big difference -- I havent tried it. The other end of the tool is a standard tire lever. Its not quite as round as the spoon type. These ends work comparably to the aluminum spoon type from Motion Pro. For a dirt bikes trail kit, I would suggest the 27mm/12-13mm wrench/spoon set (or whatever the axle nut size is for the bike). The 12mm is needed for the bead lock and tire valve stem anyway. Those two spoons are the minimum. Id also suggest at least one Trail Bead Buddy. I cant think of a drawback to these Bead Pro levers, but since the one end of them is probably not needed, theyll work great but not have a place in a minimalist trail tool kit. For a street bike, I really dont recommend any kind of small tire tool. Have a plug kit on the bike for tubeless tires. Get the big tools for the shop.

I used this on my mountain bike to help remove a tire with Cushcore and orange seal...if you know what these are, then youll understand.

this was a Christmas gift and was well received.
