While I've used a Lezyne tubeless pump for years and it *mostly* worked ok, I would always come across stubborn tire/rim combos (notably with gravel or mountain bikes) that just wouldn't seat the bead.....then it would be off to the bike shop where they would mount it in a matter of seconds with this tool and compressed air. Finally decided to bite the bullet and get one (already had a small DeWalt air compressor), and it works like a champ. I've had no issues with presta or shrader valves, and removing the valve core to mount stubborn tubeless tires works very well. As an added bonus, just filled up my car tires as well....no more having to blow out my triceps pumping those up anymore. If you have an air compressor, change out tubeless tires somewhat often and have issues with mounting, you need one of these. After a few $20 trips to the bike shop to get tires mounted, it starts to pay for itself.
Excellent pedal wrench. Built very well, the size provides plenty of leverage for hard to unfreeze pedals and the rubberized handle grip is very comfortable. Only complaint would be I think it is a good deal overpriced for simply being a pedal wrench. Don't see why this wrench would ever cost more than $25-$30 tops.
I have no idea why someone would give this product a poor review because it does not fit allen/hex key type pedals like Shimano, Time, Look, etc... It's obvious from looking at it that there is no hex key male type fitting anywhere on the wrench so why would you think it is meant for any pedal that is tightened with an allen/hex key??????? In addition, the product description says it is, "thin enough to access all wrench flats." A wrench flat is NOT an Allen/hex key opening. LOL :-)

Aluminum seat post was forever sinking into the titanium seat tube on a vintage Litespeed with an integrated seat binder bolt and a slotted titanium seat tube. Over-torquing the seat binder bolt did not help; broke three. Finally, a pea-sized amount of Park SuperGrip spread around the seat post did the job. No slippage! Be sure to clean out the inside of the seat tube well with a clean rag to remove as much of the grease or anti-sieze compound or whatever you were using before so that the fine grit in Park SuperGrip can do it's job.
