> 3 dayThese are fine tire levers - very strong, yet actually a bit smaller than other levers touted as strong. Theyre also a bit heavier, which is expected. Positives: they are steel all the way to the tip and the plastic coating provides good protection to your rims without being too bulky. On the down side, these dont have spoke hooks and theyre quite expensive. The similar but not quite as good Bikehand steel reinforced levers are much cheaper. Way I look at it, if Im stuck on the side of the road with a stubborn flat, Im glad to have spent the extra cash. YMMV.

> 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

> 3 dayWorks beautifully...i should have bought these in the first place. I must have broken 3-5 of the plastic version.

> 3 dayThese are easily the best tire levers Ive every used! Well worth the added cost compared to competitors. These are the first set of levers that Ive seen that have a metal core from tip-to-tip. All of the other steel core tools that Ive seen only have the metal core to the start of the lever part and Ive broken more than a couple of the tips off on a particularly nasty tire change. These are steel to the tip and they are almost certainly thicker (judging by their heft compared to the others) so I dont expect to ever have that problem. Additionally, they are coated with a plastic type of smooth surface that protects your rims and allows them to slide smoothly against the rim. The solid steel competitors can score up your rims. Yes, these are more expensive, but these are also probably the last set of levers that you will ever need to buy! Now excuse me while I go buy another set.... one set for my bike and one set for my at-home toolbox! And I plan I buying these as Christmas/birthday presents for my friends.

> 3 dayIf you downhill mountain bike and have double down or downhill casing tires and have a flat or puncture, on the trail, that requires getting the bead in or out of the rim, you better have these. The plastic/vinyl ones will snap. These have the strength to get the job done.

> 3 dayUnlike the thick plastic ones I got from a B&M, these actually did the job. Not only did the plastic ones not work, they were damaged to the point of being garbage after the first try. These will probably out live both my bike and me! The only thing that prevents these from being perfect is that there is no way to attach one to a spoke without tying it.
