Park Tool TL-1.2 Tire Lever Set | bike-hand-tools

Nice levers to use while taking tire off rim, they hook on spokes so it makes it easy to start taking tire off. Seem to be well made and durable.

This is the fourth set of these that I have and they are all great quality. I keep a set in a seat bag on each bike and then another in a wall mounted tool drawer. Somehow my daughter keeps popping tubes in her 24" wheels and so I've had to use these multiple times over the last year. They work well. Just slide the pry portion between the rim and the tire and hook it onto a spoke to hold it in place and then use the next one to continue prying the tire off the rim. For my children's bikes I usually only ever need two levers when changing out a tube. On my road bike with very narrow road slicks I have found that the third lever can help me get better purchase. If you're going to be riding bike then keep a set of these, a multi-tool, spare tube (or two) and a pump on your bike is a necessity. Nothing worse than being SOL on the side of the trail with a flat and no way to fix it.

I bought these because bringing my bike to the shop for simple repairs was starting to get expensive, and I wanted to get back to doing some basic maintenance myself. I knew having the right tools would make a difference, and these worked perfectly. I’ve known about the Park Tool brand for a long time, so I felt confident I was making the right purchase. After brushing up on the process with a few online videos and remembering how to do it, I was able to install a new tube without much trouble. The levers feel strong but lightweight, and the tip made it easy to get under the tire bead. The spoke hook was helpful at keeping one lever in place while using another to glide around the bead. Overall, they’re smooth, sturdy, and easy to use. I hope not to need them often, but happy to have them just in case.

Made of extremely sturdy and tough plastic. The TL-1.2 model that I purchased doesn't contain a metal core. The plastic surface prevents scratches on my metal rims. The back of the package has instructions. Lodge two about 3 inches apart. Lodge the third about 3 inches more away, and drag it around the rim. Unfortunately, the curved end of these is difficult to grab under the small tires of a standing-rider electric scooter. The end is curved a bit too much for small tires that fit ridiculously tightly on the rim. I had to fight with it to grab underneath the tire's rim before prying up. The tool did grab it eventually, but it took some finagling for 10-15 minutes. The heavy duty plastic held up great despite my straining to pry using the metal rim as a fulcrum. I recommend the end be curved less in future designs unless there's a different tool for small scooter tires (which there isn't as far as I could find). It might help if the tool was longer as well for more leverage on tight tires.

These are nice levers. They snap together for compact storage too. Very good

Top tier quality for the price. Some tire levers feel like they’re going to snap off when replacing tubes but these are sturdy and strong. Highly recommend

Very handy and a great value. Easy to use.

Works great

Bom material

Useful, practical and really easy to use

Bra - skadar inte fälgen. Lite dyrt för tre plastbitar.

Das Wichtigste vorab: Wer billige Reifenheber nutzt, kauft zweimal. Diese hier sind jeden Cent wert, weil sie nicht beim ersten echten Widerstand nachgeben oder die Felge zerkratzen. Haptik & Stabilität: Im Gegensatz zu den wabbeligen Beigaben, die oft bei Flickzeug dabei sind, ist das Material der TL-1.2C extrem steif. Ich habe sie an einem widerspenstigen Tubeless-Reifen getestet – dort, wo andere Heber biegen, greifen diese hier präzise zu und behalten die Form. Durchdachte Geometrie: Die Spitze ist flach genug, um unter den Reifenwulst zu schlüpfen, aber stabil genug, um ordentlich Hebelwirkung zu erzeugen. Der integrierte Speichenhaken ist kein Gimmick, sondern hält den Heber bombenfest in Position, während man mit dem zweiten das restliche Stück aushebelt. Praxis-Check: Die Heber lassen sich kompakt ineinanderstecken. Sie klappern nicht in der Satteltasche und wiegen fast nichts. Trotz des Kunststoffs fühlen sie sich fast so stabil an wie Metall, sind aber deutlich sanfter zu teuren Alufelgen.
