Review by TodReviewed 2/22/2017by TodCycling EnthusiastCarrboro, NC3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.The best tire levers on the market.I've used a lot of different tire levers, and most simply don't work very well. The Kool Stop levers are by far the best I've tried. The design secret that makes them so effective is a thin but strong tip, that easily slips under a tire bead, and then stays there. The shape works so well that I routinely use just one lever, and zip tires off the rim (and using a second or third lever makes tight tires easy to work with). An absolutely great product at a great price.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 8/24/2023by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastThe Kool Stop Sport Tire levers are a good value and work well.A great tool that is simple, yet works well. Tire removal and replacement has been made easier and faster.
The tool holster makes it convenient to store and find in the tool kit.

Review by LazReviewed 3/30/2021by LazCycling Enthusiastbrampton0 of 1 customers found this review helpful.the case is the best partI was struggling for an embarrassingly long time at home trying to fit ridden michelin road tires on new SH rims- one of the Kool Stop levers snapped in the process, and another (my fault) dragged across the RS rim sticker marring the overall look of new wheels.
Dug out my old Zefal flips and bingo - tire on. The difference i noticed was the Zefals were about half as thick as the Kool Stops- which made a world of difference with tires known for being very tight when new.

Slim enough and strong enough to get under new tires.
I use the older, more worn levers to help scrape glue off my tubulars as well.

Review by Popeye1961Reviewed 7/27/2021by Popeye1961Cycling EnthusiastPlattsburgh NY1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Inexpensive set of tire levers, just be gentleI usually purchase an inexpensive set of tore levers. You just have to be more careful with these so as not to break them easily. If you're rough, then buy a more durable set.

Review by RandyReviewed 7/13/2017by RandyNew Jersey1 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Okay tire levers These are okay for the price. My main problem with this are that the ends that go between the tire and the rim and this kinda sharp plastic edge You can kinda see it in the photo. I accidentally sliced my tube with it. Ended up sanding the edges and it works better. I would pay a few more bucks for some better levers

Review by Popeye1961Reviewed 2/25/2021by Popeye1961Cycling EnthusiastPlattsburgh NYA must have in your cycling storage bagI've been able to change out a tube and a tire without tire levers, so for that reason, I but these because of the low cost. I do run into times when I need a tool, and for those occasions, this set works fine.

Review by evadtheslayerReviewed 5/20/2016by evadtheslayerCycling EnthusiastMurrieta CA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Durable and CheapI have tried a variety of tire levers and had less than good experiences when they snapped in two.
Then I bought the SPORT levers (before Kool Stop bought them) and they perfect. No scratches on the rim, easy to use and pack into a convenient holder. They are made in Holland, which is a country of cyclists, so they had better be good.

Review by JermillionaireReviewed 10/1/2020by JermillionaireSEA0 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Not so resilientBroke all three in less than three minutes. I�ve installed 50+ tubes and tires and am confident that these are poor quality. Some may say that Continentals are stubborn tires, but should that be an excuse? New levers did the job just fine. Can�t recommend these.

Review by GearboyReviewed 8/21/2020by GearboyCompetitive Racercoloradowork well for mehave tried several kinds of irons and this one seems to work best for me. I carry one in my saddlebag and use it to quickly pry off the tire and slide it around the rim. I can get these under tires much easier than others I've tried. Not worried about it scratching carbon rims. I have broken a couple of these using them on brand new tires when on the road but for the most part they hold up well.
