25 year old levers

I bought these levers with my first mountain bike 25 years ago and they're still going strong. I've snapped many other brands but these have never failed me.

Thank you for your feedback.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

The 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.

Thank you for your feedback.

the case is the best part

I 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.

Thank you for your feedback.

my go to levers

Love these. I carry one in the saddlebag on all my bikes.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Inexpensive set of tire levers, just be gentle

I 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.

Thank you for your feedback.

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

Thank you for your feedback.

A must have in your cycling storage bag

I'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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Durable and Cheap

I 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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Tire levers

These are the best levers available and come with a handy case. What more could you ask for?

Not so resilient

Broke 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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tire levers!

Tire levers that are held in a case so they don't rattle around or have to hunt for them.

work well for me

have 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.

Thank you for your feedback.

I a believer in having the right tool for the right job. This is a better tool to use when having to remove tires without puncturing the tub.

Strong and realiable

I own several of these sets. Over the years I have used a variety of levers. These are strong, sturdy and reliable. I have not broken one yet. I ride with one set and bought extras for each of my sons so they have there own cycling repair kits.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great levers

I will not leave home without these. On tough as nails road tires, they work like magic. The tire falls into your hands, off the rim.
