> 3 dayThese were just what I needed. One of my bikes has rims/tires that makes getting the tire off a chore. These make it easier and stop me from cussing so much.

Greater than one weekI like these tire levers. Having used metal levers to scratch rims and pinch tires Im not a fan of them. And Ive broken, bent or worn down enough plastic levers to not particularly care for them. These levers reach a happy compromise. If youre a gram counter these levers are a bit weighty compared to all plastic levers. But Im fine with that knowing that theyll hold up should I need to use them when riding. The metal makes them plenty sturdy and the exposed metal tip of the tire end of the tool is shaped to work well for inserting and to avoiding pinching a tube. The plastic is well positioned to avoid scraping rims. While the plastic does wear a tiny bit when sliding around a rim to remove a tire it seems like it will hold up a good long while. Ive recommended these and hope they are still made should I need replacements down the road.

> 3 dayI really struggled changing tires on tubeless-ready wheels - just could not get enough leverage under the tire bead. These steel core levers make a big difference - the tips really grab the tire and the steel doesn’t bend, providing much more leverage than traditional plastic levers. They are slightly heavier than plastic levers, but fit into my bag.

> 3 dayI get why folks like plastic levers to avoid scratching rims and all but I have broken many of them in a clutch situation. These seem a good compromise

> 3 dayWay better than the tl6 they replaced. The tl6 was prone to failure from the plastic cladding delaminating from the steel core. These are perfect for keeping in your pack or strapped to your bike. Throw away the garbage plastic levers and buy these. Park still makes the best bike tools. They replaced my damaged tl6 levers with a new set of these. Great company.

The TL-6.2 is a set of two composite-covered steel core tire levers that provide smooth, scratch-free operation and superior strength to help remove even the tightest tires. These tire levers feature a tough, slippery material and a protruding steel tip to more easily and securely engage the tire bead.
PERFECTLY SIZED
Fitting comfortably in the hand while providing excellent leverage, the TL-6.2 is the perfect size (5"/12.7cm) for use as an everyday shop lever, or can be stored in a saddlebag or tool roll for the mobile mechanic.
