> 3 dayThis is truly a must have for your tool kit. As my wrists get older, I cannot get the tight tires on the rims and this makes it really easy. Sorry I did not do this sooner

Greater than one weekFor many years I tried to take bike Tires off without a bike lever and for a while that worked, I was able to get tires off without one. Then I realized, as I got older my hands got bigger and it became a lot trickier to get the tire off, sometimes resorting to a crowbar...(worst decision I ever made.) I was able to do it but it took me about five minutes. Then after purchasing the Park Tool 6.2 tire levers it really cut my time in half by about three minutes, so now it only takes me about two minutes to get a tire off. These really are the best on the market, you really can’t get a better product, these are solid steel with plastic molding to give it long lasting protection and these will not break. I love Park Tool, and I love their bike tool products they make the best in the industry and while the tools are expensive, they actually save money in the long run. With 85% of their tools being made in America and 25% overseas, really there quality tools that really do last. Plus, once you invest in these tools or invest in one of their many different toolkits like the AK-2, AK-3, PK-3 BMK-264 or MK-278 or in each tool individually etc, its money thats going to pay itself back down the road in the future.Never buy generic bike tools, that only costs you more down the road later. I highly recommend buying this product, you will not regret it.

> 3 dayNo doubt, this is a fantastic product. I take it with me where ever I ride. I regret purchasing this though. Ive only changed two tires and it will probably be another couple years until I purchase more. Not worth the money. I only used this product for removing the tires. they were unnecessary for when I put them back on. I barely even needed this product when I removed the tire. No doubt, a cheaper set would have worked. I had on of these levers in my hand for a total of five seconds per tire removal. Dont waste your money on this wonderful project unless you change tires on a monthly basis. Still gave it five stars. I give myself 1 star for going with this product because it is overkill for how Ill be using it.

> 3 dayThese are the strongest spoons I have ever wielded. I got to try out a pair at the shop & knew I had to carry these in my travel bag. A bit heavier than plastic levers, but wont split or crack when I try to install a cheap tire that is too tight for my rim. Versatile too: wash em with dishsoap and eat canned chili on the trail!

> 3 daythese have a steel core, theyre not completely steel so theyre lightweight, the metal core helps keep them from bending too much or snapping like cheaper fully plastic levers might. They worked well form me, and if you find yourself going through tire levers (hopefully you shouldnt unless you own a shop) definitely give these a try.

> 3 dayThe quality is excellent. The plastic is non marring and slippery. The internal metal makes them extremely stiff and durable. These are the most perfect tire irons that Ive ever used and Ive been cycling for more than 45 years.

Greater than one weekNice build quality with easy slip-on coating. simple product. The plastic version may be ok if you seldom change tires. I bought this one because I had bad luck with plastic tools degrading on me over tune. This one is metal. it does what its supposed to do and changing the tube a lot easier.
