 Classic, hardy, and handy tire levers! Aug 22, 2009
By willie

I have a number of bikes and each bike's toolbag is outfitted with a pair of these levers.
HINT: Buy two packs of these levers and you'll have enough for three bikes!
They have worked almost without exception to enable flat fixes and tire change outs while in the garage or on the road. (The one exception was when trying to install 700x27, yes 27, Panaracer wire beads onto a Shimano 540 wheelset for cyclocross - then I had to resort to the big boys - the beefy man-sized metal Park TL-5s)
HINT: These levers, unlike the TL-4s, have a very useful feature. See those hooks on the end? Nope, they're not for gutting fish on the pier or for cleaning out field fowl after shot-gunning in the cornfield - use them to hook onto a nearby spoke after levering a portion of the tire off your wheel's rim - very, very handy as a third hand!
These levers are a rare bargain and a standout example of quality and utility in today's corncucopia of cheap import tools - get a pair for your kit or bag!

Park Tool Tire Levers are pretty much mostly awesome. Jul 23, 2009
By Anne Marie O'Reilly

Context: I ride about 120 miles a week and spend much of my free time repairing/refurbishing/building bicycles.
I love these tire levers because they are plenty sturdy enough, and most importantly, small and lightweight. I have a set of the CrankBros steel ones(which are AWESOME), but I don't ride with them because they're obnoxiously big and heavy. These lil guys fit into a tiny top bar-mounted pack meant for gelpacks --- along with a multi tool, a patch kit, and a squirt gun :)
As someone noted above, they may break or bend on high-tension wheels -- he mentioned 23x700s, and I've found the same to be true on my Contis as well. I've done tons of work on kids' bikes, and that is usually the only other situation when one of these levers bends or breaks. (Stripping little kids' bike tires is a PITA!!!)
But for general usage, these can not be beat. I am just now replacing a set I've had for several months (and as you might tell, I use them a LOT) and that's because I handed them off to a friend who had a blowout near my neighborhood. I'm doubling up on my order, actually.

 Bends and breaks Jun 30, 2008
By Joe MacBu
I bought these due to the Park Tools reputation.
They worked well on wider tires (MTB). Unfortunately they don't work on the Continental Ultra Gatorskin 23 x 700C tires on my road bike.
The spoke hooks on two of the levers broke off after a few uses; the end used for prying the tires off have bent backwards, making them completely useless. Granted, these tires are incredibly difficult to install and remove. However, I expected a Park Tools product to be up to the challenge.
The only tool that works on my Continental tires is the Crank Brothers speed lever.

They're cheap, sturdy, and work Oct 06, 2010
By Johnny Wang
As a wheelchair user, I have a tendency to get flats every so often. And it's a whole lot cheaper, and convenient, learning how to change them yourself than to go to a bike shop every time. I've been making do in the past using things like flathead screwdrivers to take the tires off, but the metal has definitely caused damage to my rims over the years. Not to mention the fear of having the screwdriver itself tear a whole into the inner tube (in situations where you're just repairing, and not replacing).
My fear when I picked these up were that they wouldn't hold up against the tension of my wheelchair road tires, but having finally had occasion to use these a few months back, I can happily say they did their job, and held up admirably.

OK- IF YOU NEED THEM Feb 03, 2012
By SkunkApeMan
I recently started commuting by bike and wanted to get set up with all the usual emergency tools a good cyclist carries with them, so I got a set of tire levers. I've used these on two road flats and on some neighbors flat tires and I will say they work as advertised.
The thing is I've gotten so good at changing tires with just my hands that I don't use these any more. Guess I'll save 'em in case I ever encounter a really tough to remove or install tire, but honestly, so far I haven't met a 26" tire or a 700 series tire I couldn't remove/install by hand.
Watch a few You Tube videos on changing tires by hand and you may decide to save yourself the $5 and not purchase these. If you do decide you need tire levers, I've seen a set of Pedro's Tire Levers that look thicker and more durable than these for less money. I would buy those before buying these. ;-)
