Shop quality tool.

Work in a bike shop part time, and just to be different I ordered the Stans tool which does the same thing but is longer and lacks the center slot. For home I ordered the Park and will keep it there, as we use a lot of Park tools in the shop and I am a little more OCD about my tools than some, so a lot of stuff I use are my own and I lock them up when I am not at work, would not like to loose or use and abused tool like this. As part of our service when we sell a new bike, we put sealant in the tubes, so it is used a lot. Presta valves are more fragile than the Schrader so it is not a bad idea to have extra cores and a tool to deal with them as well. I would suggest using Q-tubes or others that have replaceable cores if you are inclined to seal your own tubes that use presta valves, and this tool is as good as it gets.

A must Tool to have when you ride !

If you do not understand Valve Cores this is a MUST Tool to have ! You need this to check the Tightness of your Valve Cores every so often, and at time if you have a flat - the Tire may not be damaged but the Valve Core is ! This Tool is easy to use and very dependable. I keep it with me along with extra Valve Cores when I ride ! A must Tool to have - it is that critical . I am so glad I have this Tool by Park Tool !

Does the job for which it is intended.

Not the most important of gizmos to have in your bike tool collection, but a useful device nonetheless. I use Lezyne pumps with their screw on fitting for Presta and Schrader valves as I tended to destroy presta valves with my old Zefal (SKS) Husky and HP frame pumps. The trade off is that with the Lezyne screw on fitting, Presta valves can end up backing out of the stem when unscrewing the pump fitting. Bit amusing to see the valve assembly shoot out of the fitting, but not of benefit when in a rush. I know I can and have used needle nose pliers for tightening the valve assembly, but love my tools and knew the pliers would cause damage, so I figured why not order this not so expensive Park tool. Plus it is rather pretty. It works as it is supposed to on removable Presta fittings. Have not had need for the Schrader fitting, so I cannot offer feedback on the reverse end, nor the threaded notch in the middle (to chase, or cleanup, the threads on the stem). It makes for easy tightening, and no more flying valves. Not all Presta tubes have removable valves from what I read on Gore's interwebs. Schwalbe tubes appear to have them and they are what I use. Recommended.

Simple and Necessary for TLR

I use this tool on my 2014 Trek Remedy 8 with Bontrager TLR stems. When I switched to tubeless and needed a stem removal tool I began searching for options. Having purchased a Park Tool kit already and having been impressed with the quality of their tools, I decided to go with this one despite the slightly less-expensive offerings. Everything must match, after all! :) It is a quality piece and works well. The tool engages positively in the stem and requires very little effort to turn it. While I have no experience with other tools, I believe it is worth the price.

Tiny, really well made, huge convenience for removing or tightening valve cores.

I had a couple of tubes whose valve cores had come a bit loose. It’s possible to tighten them without special tools but this “remover” makes that task much easier especially with Schrader valves. I keep this tiny tool in the same small pouch with my SKS pressure gauge. I probably won’t use it often since I don’t run tubeless or additives but it’s a real convenience when needed.

GREAT PRODUCT AND QUALITY AS USUAL!

I am very pleased with this Park Tool. It is very good quality and it fit just perfectly on my new Presta tubes! I don't mind spending a little more for Park Tools, because I believe in quality, the first time, when I order tools for my bike. I have always been very pleased and satisfied with other Park Tools that I have purchased. Keep up the great work on all your products; I can always count on you for the best quality!

It's a Park tool

Who doesn't like "blue" tools? Park builds very high quality tools, and you will pay a premium for them. Good tools are not cheap, and there is a reason for that....build quality means the tool should last for almost ever. If you want cheap tools, buy elsewhere. You want tools that stand up to the test of time, buy tools like Park.

Great tool for all our bikes

This tool is handy for all of our bikes (both valve types). It's light, as simple to use as anything I've run across before, and the price is great. I ride some, my wife rides a lot, and a lightweight tool that works in a variety of circumstances is just right.

Important tool for tubeless

I converted to tubeless bike tires. The injection kit had a plastic valve removal tool which was stripped by the time I was finished. This metal tool is perfect and has been used multiple times.

Great for bike valve maintenance

Was adding slime to my tire and the plastic valve remover broke inside the valve. Needed a sturdier metal tool and this worked. Good tool to have for bike owners.
