Jeffrey A.park tool tire irons
these are very strong ,this the third set I bought very strong
Harrison GatosDecent backup levers
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
As many others have said below, these things are cheap and can do the job they're supposed to, but fall short on the tougher beads and are prone to breaking.
Get some better ones for primary use and stash a couple sets of these in select spots just in case you need them.
Luke DordaiGearheadBetter levers out there
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These aren't bad for a spare set in your car or office, but there are better options out there if you deal with tighter tire beads. I've also broken several trying to get tighter beads off rims.

Work Well Enough For $3
These work fine, nothing really to be too impressed or bummed on. They're plastic tire levers, never hurts to have spares laying around or multiple sets to leave in different packs, in the car, or around the house. That said, I have broken a few of these on rims when trying to get a tighter bead off. But I mean, for $3/set of three levers, pretty hard to go wrong. You can have like 8 sets for the price of what you'd pay for metal tire levers. I have a few tucked into my fanny pack that I rock during local rides.

Save the day
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Pretty easy to use (even for a newbie) I received this set of tools and the next weekend I had to use them. It was my first time changing my road bike tubes and I made it thanks to this.
Braydn TannerGearheadCheap and effective

My little brother manages to flat at least 2 times every time we ride. Despite the DH casings on his tires, he still manages to do it. So, I always end up fixing his flats. And since he has DH casings, his tires are a pain to pull of. Fortunately, these levers make short work of those tires.
Jared DownsGearheadMultiple Sets
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These cost so little that its easy to have a few sets of these stashed all over the place...in the car, tool kit, pack, etc.
They work great and are easy to use. After I picked up a sheet rock screw on the trail one day, I busted out my set and was able to break the bead on my tire real easy and get to work.
jordan emeryEmployeeEffective enough
These things are surprisingly tough work horses, they get the job done and hold up well. Two tire changes down and minimal signs of wear.
Joshua Vielwork fine

this item works great and does what it is intended for
ALEX ZUHLGood for the Price
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Easy and light to throw into a backpack or saddle bag, but certainly easy to brake if you crank on them too hard. For just a few bucks, I always like having a couple of these on my bike or around the house
CorenSEmployeeIs what it is
seems durable enough, I am happy with them

They Work Well Enought
I don't have any complaints about these little guys. They get the job done. They are replacing some old levers I got from Wal-Mart. Can't say there is a big different. The price point on these makes it easy to tack them onto a larger order.
NatashaThey work

It's really as simple as that. They get the job done.
mattEmployeesecond pair
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Better for your rim than metal, lighter, and easier to pack around. These are my main pair now and I keep my metal levers for the real pain in the butt rims/tires

Work great for a couple bucks
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Everyone needs tire levers. I keep a couple sets of these laying around just so I can find them when I need them.

prefer the TL-4
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
pros: skinny, light and fit in your bag. plus you get 3 of them.
cons: more prone to breaking than others.
I personally prefer the park tool TL-4 which backcountry/cc don't seem to carry. Harder to break, and they seem to work better for me.
GeocacherDont use a Screwdriver!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Remember this old saying? Well, here you have a screwdriver stiff set of tire levers. Dont use them. They are the worst I have ever seen yet.
Ben RabinowitzGearheadGreat tool for the price
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Keep some in the pack for trailside changes but I've also used these in the shop.
Good tool for the price, but they are on the flimsy side. I haven't had one break on me yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if one did.
Like the hook for attaching to the spoke and the fact that they stack together for compact storage.

Staple
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It seems like this is the one tool you can never have enough of. The price is right, and they are light, portable and pretty strong provided you don't try to use them as a crowbar. Keep a few extra on hand as they tend "to walk."
Brock PriceGearheadFunction well, good price
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These tire levers work quite well for almost all tires. I had some struggles mounting a wire bead 2-ply downhill tire but that's not surprising, you almost need metal reinforced tire levers for that. These are not reinforced with metal but they are still quite strong and work well for most tires out there. It's a good price for a three pack so even if you break one you still have two left.
