Having struggled with more conventional tire levers in the past, this tire lever makes installion of the tire back onto the rim a breeze with its unique hook design that fits onto the edge of the rim. This lever makes the process quicker and easier.
I am finding that getting tightly seated tires is getting increasingly difficult as I get older. I find that tubed tires on tubeless rims can be especially tough to get off. This tire lever is definitely a help. I recommend it.
It's bigger, heavier, and that means most of you won't like it. It's also not as game-changing as the description suggests it is. In fact, the issue I have with removing tight beads isn't helped by this lever. I use it for my eBike, and since I carry a large pannier, the size isn't an issue. But no, Crank Bros hasn't made changing tires any speedier.
excellent tool. eases tire on & off the rim.
I have lots of tire tools, and have changed a lot of tires. These are unique and with them, Im able to get a tire on the rim faster. They are larger, and heavier, but theyre what I carried on a recent extreme Triathlon because in the event of a flat, rapid change means more than a few grams
I have used this lever at home when I am changing tires and works well at giving you a little more power at getting tight tires off the rim. It is too bulky to put in my bike bag on my bike,so I only use it at home.
This makes tire removal and install much easier. I had a sprained thumb, and this proved to be a stronger and safer lever.
Great tool!

Saw a friend use one to change a flat on a ride. Came home and ordered one. Easiest tire lever I have ever used. Good price as well.
