Reviews of Park Tool TL-1.2 Tire Lever Set
These work
The old guy of Des Moines, IA
Purchased to replace 20 year old Park Levers that had a much thicker end that goes between rim and under tire. The Catrike rims are narrow aero style and needed a thinner and wider tip to more easily remove tire to change a tube. These are much better and easier to use.
handy tool
helped removal of old tires, didn't take much effort to remove tires in my case so tool was not put to any real stress. looks like a useful tool for casual usage.
average tool but not entirely useful
Pros
Solidly built
sometimes works
Cons
scratches wheels
Other Thoughts
This tool is useful but only on tires that want to cooperate and you should know that if the tire does not want to seat, you will scratch the crap out of your wheels thinking that this tool will help. I guess eventually it will but some tires are just not that cooperative. I think a better solution would be to have an air compressor that can pop the tire onto the rim rather than this slow bend it back and forth process. the tool is sturdy and well built.
overkill
Pros
strong and unbreakable, pretty heavy
Cons
will scratch rims
Tire tools worth the money
Pros
Very good design. Rounded in all the right places to protect your tube and rim. Large enough to allow for easy working leverage.
Cons
Would be nice to have a cushion grip on ends.
Other Thoughts
Don't grab that screwdriver ever again!
